GIrI's strange Disappearance.


Giri's Strange Disappearance
BURLINGTON, N. j., June 26.-Maggie
Baudoff aged 10 years who was taken
from the Ohildren's Home ut Trenton by
the family Of Mr.. Samuel Adams living
near here some two months ago has been
missing since Tuesday night. Her ser
vices have been generally satisfactory bat
recently Mrs. Adams told the girl II she
did mot do better she would be sent back
TO the home. Maggie seemed to dread
the thought Of going back to the home
again and it is stated, threatened to
commit suicide rather than return.
Tuesday afternoon she laid down for .
little while to rest and was called about
6 O'Clock by Mrs. Adams, who sent her to
the woodpile for some wood. She Was
gone longer than was thought necessary
and search was made for her. She was
not at the woodsbed and nothing wa
seen Of her.
A search was begun which lasted until
10 O'Clock at night. Foot tracks found
along the bank of the Assicunk creek
which borders the farm OF Mr.. Adams
showed plainly that she had been there.
Her tracks were found Ia the mud and In
some places where the bank was miry II
was seen that she had had difficulty In
extricating herself. II is thought that she
may have been mired too deep to draw
herself out and may be found In that
position or she may have become ex.
hausted and laid down somewhere, but II
| 1t is generally believed that she has COM
mitted suicide. A large party Is Gus
securing the woods and fields for her.
