COTY STILL MISSING.
Friends Found to Provide
For His Little
Daughter.

Webster. Dec. 8. = John Coty. who is
supposed to have deserted his little FIVE
year-old daughter Emma Monday night,
is still missing and no trace has been
found of him by the police or his friends.
1t is thought that as he was out of work
and did not have ready money he decided
that he would leave his little charge in
hands that he thought would take good
care of her.
The little waif certainly enjoyed her
self, and got all she wanted to eat yes
terday afternoon at the home of Deputy
Sheriff Maurice P. Glare. Sheriff Clare's
wife and daughter spent the afternoon
entertaining their small visitor.
The sheriff, by doing little detective
work, located relative of the girl in the
person of Alexander Buckwheat, who
works Saturday nights for H. H. Stein
berg, and who lives in Merino village.
The girl has been taken to her uncle's,
where she will be taken care of for the
present.
The condition of Dennis Dugan. who was
discovered in scant attire, half frozen,
near the old Indian tomb in Stevens
woods, Dudley, yesterday afternoon, Is
somewhat better today. The man had
had nothing to eat for the past three or
four days, and, being obliged to sleep in
the cold, Dugan's chances of recovery
were considered poor at the time he was
taken to the lookup emergency room and
DR.. Thompson summoned.
Frederick H. Berger, chairman of the
board of overseers of the poor, was noti-
fled of the mans condition, and he in
turn notified the other members of the
board. Dugan has relatives in town, but
they refuse to render assistance.
The board voted to take him to the
town farm, where he will be nursed and
cared for until better home is found for
him. 1t is not thought that amputation
of any of the frozen parts will be neces-
sary.
The funeral, services Of the late Mrs.
Edward STANLEY, aged 26, who died yes
tomorrow forenoon from the ST. Louis
church. Rev. FIR. John T. Madden will
ofticiate. The burial will be at North
liam F. Haggerty, Michael Mcnamara,
Francis N. Kelly and George Brogan.
The scarcity of water in the Maanexit
river is still causing considerable trouble
at the wooden mills at Chasevilie and
Perryville. The river was never as low
as it is now from natural causes, and the
lake is also reduced several feet. Many
Of the wells in town are drying up.
