I can't make anything out. Can't you just summarize the case on the thread?

I was able to zoom in and read it. Thought I'd type it up below for other folks.
Here is what it says:

"Relatives In Suspense"
Victoria, TX, March 13 - Mr. Quincy Davidson, Jr. a well-to-do young farmer and stockman living in the Mission Valley neighborhood, disappeared last Thursday night and left no clew [sic] as to his destination, and his whereabouts are still unknown. He left a note addressed to his brother stating that he was going away and instructing him to dispose of his property, pay his debts and keep the balance. He relatives know of no reason for this peculiar action on his part, and are using every means to discover his whereabouts.

Peace
BCS

He must not have died then, because according to this page, he died in 1938.

What is the status on this case? I'm somewhat new to being an active member of Websleuths. If a case is "solved," is the case still left open for replies?
