A STRANGE DISAPPEARANCE.
A Nine.Year-OId Fair Haven Girl
 Goes ont Swimming and Suddenly

A NIne.Year-O1d Fair Haven Girl
 Goes Ont SVEimmfn. and Suddenly
 Disappears.
 Miss Emma Louise Pond, who has been absent from her parents home at Fair Haven has not yet been heard from. Mrs. Eliza Pond the child's mother is nearly pros trsted by it's absence. The child has long brown hair. She is large for her age, and when she went from her home last Monday she wore wine colored satin dress and a brown jersey, also red and blue straw hat. She has an aunt in Westville. Her story when she left home was that she was going to see her grandma at West Haven. When about starting away the child bought some candy in Fair Haven drug store, and as she paid for it casually rema rked that she was going in swimming. Such a total dis appearance of child would appear impossi- ble on any theory other than that she had been drowned or been spirited away by some designing person. The girl had been known to beg aims, and she was inclined to a child vagrancy, so much of which comes before the City court judges for treatment. About police circles last night it was thought that the child had undoubtedly been drowned.
