MYsTERIoUsLY Disappeared
A Woman and Two Children Miss
ing ate Proba bly, Their Doom.

Mrs. Siebert. with her two little child
rem, the Oldest of whom is seven years of
age, left her stopping place on Alamo
street Saturday and has not since been
heard Of.
Mrs. Mary Rose. the wife of a man whe
formerly kept a saloon near the Sunset
depot, is well respected lady Of this city,
but has been very unfortunate in life.
Several months ago she had some trouble
with her husband and he suddenly aban-
doned her and took the train for Califor-
mia, where he In now living. Mrs. Rose,
having two little girls and herself to pro-
vide For, and being left pennileSs, decided
family as a cook and intended entering
her children in the Orphans home. She
secRred situation as cook in boarding
house on South Alamo street, known as
THE Dalwigk" and has, for the past
three weeks, been working there. Last
Saturday morning she washed some
clothes, hung them on the line
and then said TO her employer,
II would like to take my children
TO the sisters home now and will return
in short while" The lady whom she
addressed told her it would be better
to wait until she had ironed the cloths,
and she seemed satisfied and concluded to
finish her work before she went. Five
minutes later she returned in an almost
frantic manner, as If she were afraid of
her own shadow, and said in low voice.
May | go right now?" Mrs. Dalwigk,
seeing that the woman was very anxious
to place her children in the home as soon
as possible, gave consent to her going be-
fore the ironing was completed, and the
unfortunate Mrs. Rose took her two little
daughters by the hand and left, it being
then about IL o'clock.
Two hours passed by and she had not
returned. Night came and still no signs
of her appearance. The neighberS were
told of the affair and a search was made,
but of no avail. Sunday afternoon lady,
who has known Mrs. Rose for a long
time, called at the Dalwigk, and, after
learning all that had taken place, related
the following sad story:
Shortly after Mr.. Rose left his poor
wife, she came to me with tears in her eyes
and told me she was near deaths door,
caused from grief; that she was without
means of support for herself and children
and that she knew not which way TO
turn. She said III tell you what | will
do and it will end all trouble. will take
my two dear little ones with me some
bright day and will walk right into the
water and we will all die together
The above remark made by Mrs. Rose
to her friend plainly shows that there has
something awful happened. Why this
in fact all she possessed. at the Dalwigk
and has not returned, is something which
cannot be solved in any way, consequent
| " conclusion has been formed that she
has taken her life and the life of her
children, or has been delt with by some
one in like manner.
Since the departure of her hus band she
has resumed the name of her first hus-
band, Siebert, and is known as Mrs. Mary
Siebert.
Yesterday afternoon the matter was re-
ported to the detectives and an investlga-
ton of the strange affair will at once be
made. Those who have charge OF the
orphans home say they have seen moth
ing of the lady and knew nothing OF her
desire to place her children in that in
stitution. The detectives have no
grounds whatever as yet and the case is u
mystery to them. However, a hope of
finding some clue to the miss ing. subjects
is entertained and may develop in short
while
