GREELEY GIRLS SAD FATE.
Disappears From Home-Found 1S
Months After in an Asylum

Greeley, Sept 2-Eighteen months ago
Sophia Lutz of this place mysteriousiy
disappeared, leaving no trace behind
She was the picture of health and ap-
parently as happy as anyone could be.
Her father was well to do, though not
wealthy, and had about his home all
the IuXurieS to which people of his class
are accustomed.
The girl was well educated and was
admired She was by far the prettiest
girl here.
Miss Lutz had admirers at home and
others in the towns near by, but none
OEthem went away with her They
knew nothing of the cause of her
strange flight, but it was supposed by
some that she had g lover about whom
nothing was known by her friends, and
that she fed with him
Edward Bolton was the most faithful
lover Miss Lutz had in Greeley, although
he was less favored than some of the
others. He never gave up the search
for the missing girl and found her
at last
Yesterday he returned to this city
and told the parents of the sad story of
the missing girl
One night six months ago Sophia
Lutz was arrested on the streets of ST.
Joe, Mo, by a policeman He supposed
that she was Intoxicated, and sent her
to the central station There it was
found that she was not drunk. She did
not know where she lived. did not even
know her own name, and she went to
the hospital mental and physical
wreck.
When she had recovered somewhat
she was sent to the county asylum and
later removed to the insane asylum The
deScrip tiOn did not suit that of the girl
who had disappeared from her Kansas
home six months before that time But
Bolton heard of the unknown young
woman who had been found and went
to St. Joe to look for her.
She had been forgotten by nearly ev-
erybody except the officers in whose
care she had been Bolton traced her
TO the hospital, 10 the county asylum,
and at last to the insane asylum He
saw her among the patients on the
lawn and called her by name She
lifted her head, and for a moment the
memory of her former life appeared to
be about to come back to her. Then
she reIapsed into an fdiotic condition
Bolton bowed his head and sobbed as
though his heart had been broken
They will take her home as quickly
as pOss- BILE, and amid the scenes of her
youth her mind may be restored.
The asylum physicians fear the girls
mind will be forever blank, and that
her future life, however long or short
it may be, will be one of mental dark
ness.
