ooEAio 'oupPOStu W huto
Gone to York, Neb.
The mother of Carrie Merrick, the girl
who mysteriously disappeared, was seen last
night. She is laborIng under the greatest
excitement and is not able to eat or sleep.
She states that one of the neigh bors of the
Wrigats told her that she had helped Mrs
Wright and the girl to the. depot with their
baggage. They stated that they were going
on late train and did not inquire where
they were going
A young sister of the missing girl
states that she and her sister accom-
panied Mrs. Wright to the central tele;
phone Office little more than two
weeks ago. Mrs. Wright went in answer
to a telephone message from York, asking
her TO come out there as soon as possible.
She SAID she would come in about week.
She aftcrward remarked to Carrie that she
wished Carrie could go with her as they
would have Il good time. Carrie replied that
she didn't believe she could go.
The girl was frequently heard to say that
she did not like Mrs. Wright, as she was too
impudent on the street. speaking TO strange
men, and making herself too familiar. The
Wright woman was at one time constant
attendant at the meetings of the Saliva
tion army aud took prominent
part in their proceedings Later she
fell from grace and attended dances
at numerous disreputabls places. She
sought the company of Carrie Merrick, and
tried TO get her TO accompany her IN her mid.
night prowlings.
The mother states that her daughter has
received several letters from Reed, dated at
Marinette, Wis, to which she returned no
answer and there is no reason TO believe that
she has gone to him.
The girl is described as being blonde,
with small blue eyes, auburn hair and small
white hands. She is about five feet two
inches IN height and weighs about one hun
dred and twenty pounds. She will soon be
seventeen years old, but looks older. Her
bright, pretty face and plump form would
attract attention.

In the last issue Of the HERALD brief
account was given Of injuries received by
assistant general superintendent NJ d.
Root of the N. P. r. R., but the particu.
lars were meagre. Although every atten-
ton possible was given, Mr.. Root died on
Thursday, February IA, and his remains
were carried through Yakima, by special
train, on the following day, to be con-
signed to the last resting-place ut Roches-

is unloaded, plow, which passes the
length Of the train On top Of the cars, is
attached to the engine by . long steel
cable, which is longer than the train. The
locomotive is started with q jerk to over
come the inertia, and as the cars remain
stationary, the plow is drawn the length
Of the train and the earth cast of to one
side.
Mr.. Root, while watching the work, at
tempted to pass between the cars and the
locomotive. As he started, the signal 10
move the engine was made, but he did
not hear il. His friends shouted, but the
noise was too great for him to note the
warning, and as he stepped near the
cable the locomotive jerked the slack out
Of il, and the cable struck him in the abb
domen, throwing him several feet in the
air. His friends ran TO his rescue and
carried him to his private car. Dr.. Davie
was Immediately summoned and did all
that was possible to relieve his intense
suferings, but the injuries were fatal.
Mr.. Root was an efficient and eminently
practical railroad man, giving close atten-
ton to all the important details Of rail-
way management, and had but recently
been appointed general superintendent Of
the western division Of the Northern Pa
cific railroad from Helena westward, with
