Seattle Japanese Is Dead in Idaho

HUNT, Idaho, Dec. 4. -- Missing since Tuesday morning, Takaji Abe, 55 years old, was found dead beneath a sagebrush shelter in the desert near the Hunt Relocation Center late yesterday.

The former Seattle grocer had gone into the desert from the camp to look for specimens of greasewood for use in making ornamental furniture and became separated from a companion. The body was found about four miles from camp.
