An incident which the railway officials
do not know what to make of happened
during the N. P. trains run south yester-
day. A little girl about l6 years of age
was on the train alone and no trace OF
her parents or other relatives can be
found. She is now at Drayton, N. D.,
where the conductor left her when she
could give no ticket. She was sitting
alone on the train, but said her father
was in the next car with the ticket, which
she said he got at St. Paul, and was good
for round trip. Her father was not on
the train, nor any person who knew any,
thing OF the girl. She said her name was
Maggie Harrison, and that she lived on
University avenue. When a telegram
was sent to find out particulars at the
address she gave, it was found there was
no such number. The girl says her faith
er came to Winnipeg on Sunday and she
came on Monday. She cannot saw
where she stayed while here, or give de-
finate particulars about herself or father.
The railway officials are puzzled, and
are in doubt whether it is case of child
desertion or whether the girl has run
away from home to have an adventure.
Efforts are being made to restore her to
her legal Observation-Disclosures Free
