Il p1yIdBLE STORY.
An Old Mans Fru.tless Search for His
Daughter.
Looking for his daughter, an old man
came into the chiefs Office yesterday morn
ing and asked the police to help him find
her. He stated he resided ':nigh unto thirty
mile back of Mankato,' and that his daugh-
ter, aged 90, had mysteriously disappeared.
Wien asked how she came to go away, he
shook his head and had no answer. After a
little he locked up and repeated his story,
which he has related dozens and dozens of
times since he began the search two weeks
ago. The daughter had been living with a
married sister about four miles fl ON Waseca.
Last spring she took it in her head s'to have
a little schooling" and the father boarded
her in Waseca. Along in July she came
home "for spell" After little she pro-
posed going back to Waseca to learn the mil
Iinery trade. She wasn't well at the
time, and her parents tried to induce her to
remain at home. No; she had her mind
set on being milliner, and finally set out
on her return trip. She was brought over to
Mankato by brother in-law, and was seen
aboard the train. Since then none Of the
family have set eyes upon her. A little
later son came into Mankato to hunt for
work. There, in some way, he heard his
sister was working at her trade in that
place. He didn't look her up, but went on
to Wasaca, and sent word home. Weeks

mother found her way to her married daugh-
ter, near Waseca. She knew nothing of the
missing one. This daughter was sick, and
the mother had to refrain from her search
to attend to her sick child. When she
recovered, mother and daughter went home.
Then the father, two weeks ago, started out
On his journeylngs after the lost sheep from
the fold. He has been led hither and thither
by reports and imaginary traces Of the lost
girl. He has visited Mankato, Waseca, Owa-
tonna, Minneapolis and GAINESVILLE. In the
last named town, lie first heard something
definite of his child. She had been
there, and stopped with former schoolmate
at q Mr.. Spencer's. She did not explain why
she was in GAINESVILLE, nor, in fact, say any
thing in particular about herself. About
July the 18th, she left there with the ex-
pressed intention of going to Waseca. From
that time to the present the girl seems to
bave wholly disappeared, no trace of her can
be found, not even SO much as the informa-
ton whether she took the train for Waseca,
as was her declared intention. The father
has searched all places lie has visited; he has
called at all the miliner chops, and, guiIeless
as he s, his attention had been directed to
the abo les of sin. His footsteps reluctantly
were objected even to such places, though
loathe in his heart to believe such things of
his daughter. Nowhere las he been able to

terday. At nightfall he returned to the sta
ton unsuccessful. He is almost hopeless
Wearied and worn, he is ready to welcome
the return of his child, if alive, even though
she has sinned. He has no hard words for
her, but father and mother longingly wait
for any intelligence of or from her. Oslo
Chute is the girls name. She is medium
sized, inclined to be slender, has dark COM
plexion, with some freckles, eyes and hair
dark. She is rather attractive in general
appearances; talks slow. Does anyone know
where she is?
