And Friends
Alarmed.
DANIEL G, HORTON
Of Fitchburg Has Not Been
Seen Since Monday.

Fitchburg, Nov. 23.-Daniel G.. Hor-
ton. a well known citizen and a prom
inent baker who has been in business
here for years, is missing, and his
friends are much concerned as to his
whereabouts, and have notified the po-
lice to look out for him.
As near as can be learned, he left his
hcme as usual for his place of business
Monday morning at an early hour. It
was customary for the hired girl to
take his breakfast to him about S
o'clock, and this was done Monday.
When the girl arrived at the bakery
she found the doors locked. Thinking
this somewhat strange, she returned
home and found Mr. Horton there in
his room. He said nothing, and she
suppOsing that he had come home for
breakfast, asked him if he was ready.
He made no reply, and a few minutes
later left the house and has not been
seen since. He spoke to no one as far
as is known before he left. When noon
came and he did not come home to din
ner, a visit was made to the bakery
again. only to find the place closed as
at first. The family We're somewhat
alarmed at this, but thought that pos
stbly he had gone to Boston, and de-
cided to wait until night before Great
ing any alarm, hoping that he would
return on a late train. This however,
was not the case, and they then sought
aid from the police, who are as much at
sea as any one else,
Mr.. Horton has not been well man
for some time. and coupled with the
fact that he has been somewhat I'M
fortunate in bushes affairs, leads one
to think that he has wandered away
during fit of temporary insanity, or
has made way with himself.
His friends and family, however, look
hopefully on the case, and trust that
he will turn up all right in few days.
Meanwhile, every endeavor is being
made to locate the missing man. If he
does not return it win be a most I'M
pleasant Thanksgiving for all con-
cerned.
The Y. NJ. c. L. and Gardner A c.

IRON Saturday for the much talked of
game for the championship of Worces-

game have hung fire for some time, it
Icing a matter of opinion which team
really did the challenging, as DR..
CleaVes of Gardner denies that he au-
thorized the publishing of a challenge
to all corners to defend the champion
ship Of Worcester county, in the Wor-
cester Telegram. However, the matter
is all adjusted now, and the Warmest
game in the county is promised for Sat

Grafton, Nov. 23.-The advance gang
Of the constructors of the electric rail

this morning. and worked toward the
lower end Of Worcester street, 10 which
point the road is nearly completed
from the Worcester end. The whole
force of men is about twenty less than
it was week ago, as during the few
stormy days about that number left
for winter quarters in Boston
Working at the Grafton end was ne
cessitated by the delay caused at the

Company was building the wall at the

for the privilege Of looking around. The Commo-

the actor submitted the manuscript of his part

After the play had been produced the actor
