THE MYSTERY CLEARS.
The Child Was Traced From Her Home
to Miilville, Where She Bought
Ticket To Philadelphia.

The mystery surrounding the disap
pearance of little Emily Shnll, daughter
OF Mrs. Henry Clay Lore, of Newport, is
partly Gear ed up.
Since the little one left home on the
18th of Novem ber, there has been much
speculation concerning the child, and all
sorts OF frumors have been floating about.
Ihere have been hints that the child was
badly treated, and some people in the
vicinity of the home, have intimated that
that the girl might have been murdered.
At the time of her disappearance the
PIONEER said that she went away during
the absence, for the day, of her mother
and stepfather. The little girl had been
left in care of her two smaller sisters.
When Mrs. Lore returned home at night,
Emily was nowhere to be found, and
81 so and her best clothing were also miss
ing.
Friday an officer from Bridgeton
fully Investigated the case. Beginning at
the house of the chld's parents, the off
Ger found that the child had disappeared
from her home on November 18th, which
was Saturday. He traced the child to the
little settlement of Baileytown, where
she spent the night with a Mrs Gordon,
Her appearance at Baileytown is further
fixed from the fact that she purchased ten
cents worth of molasses cake of Enos
Bailey.
Sunday morning, George Petit gave the
little girl a ride from the home of Mrs.
IN hat iS l. tlo Il
Bridge, between Newport and Millville
When the girl alighted from the wagon
at the bridge, she eonversed with four
gunners who were out training some
pups.
The officer then traced the girl from
Red Bridge to Silver Run, where she was
seen by several people, and from there
she went to Millville.
The girl was seen at the railway station
and with satchel in her hand, boarded a
train. A gentleman named Baxter was
on the train and asked the girl where she
was going. She replied, Philadelphia
He told the girl that was Maurice River
train, but had great difficulty in making
her believe 1t. The Shull girl said her
home was in Philadelphia, and that she
had beel visiting in Buena Vista.
Finally Baxter called the fireman of
the train in the coach, and he told the girl
that if she wanted to go to Philadelphia
she ould have to go in the station and
take another train. Baxter took the girl
in the station and she purchased half
ticket for Philadelphia. Since then she
has not been heard from.
Emily will be thirteen years of age on
the 18th of this month. 1t is now thought
she has heen coaxed off by some of the
despicabe gang that has been enticing
young girls from their homes, to life of
shame
The community of Newport, is greatly
relieved with the Investigations of the
officers, and it is now felt that the disap-
pearance of the child was through her
own waywardness, although there are
many who declare that the home was
anything but pleasant one for the little
thinp-

Wednesday was jolly one for two or
three hundred members of the Jr. O. u.
A. M, Port Norris Council coming here
to pay fraternal visit to Welcome Coun-
Gil. No. 45 The latter Council had made
considerable preparation for the recep-
ton of their guests, and the visitors were
given jolly reception, and during the
evening the Port Norris boys, upon
more than one occasion, declared their
pleasure OF the hospitality shown them.
The Port Norris Council arrived here
just before eight o'clock, about one hun
dred strong. They came up on a special
train, and was accompanied by the Port
Norris band.
Welcome Council had a delegation to
go out to the East Bridgeton station to
receive the visitors; in the delegation be-

fed.
During the session Welcome Council
ad two initiation and the work under
the supervision of floor manager Hum
NELL, was very fine. The guard, particu-
larly, were we'll drilled and the tableaux
were beautiful and impressive. There
are few initiation teams in the STATE who
can Improve upon the work of the We'll
come team, and the mem bers of that orr
ganization are constantly striving for bet
ter and higher ideas in the exenplifica-
ton of the ritual.
After the initiation, the receiving
of several propositions and current
business, Councillor VIM. B. Kirby an
nounced the good of the order, and on
behalf of Welcome Council, in a very
neat and we'll fitting apeech, he warmly
welcomed the visitors and assured them
that they should feel at home and at lib
erty to so conduct themselves as would
afford them pleasure.
Brother Sites, of Port Norris, respond
ed upon behalf of Port Norris Council,
and thanked Welcome for its manifest
cordially, hospitality, and commended
the members upon the delightful quar-
ters, and the splendid work of the initia-
ton.
Although speeches were made by Rev.
Mr.. Bullock, School Master Manning,
Capt. Berry. and others, of Port Norris,

Port Norris Council rendered several
delightful selections, and the applause
was deafening, and several recalls were
demanded.
After the intellectual treat in the hall
the entire Assembly went over to Gross.
cups Hall, where Caterer F. B. Williams
had prepared splendid banquet, which
was greatly enjoyed by everybody. The
boys were full of life, and they soon had
the old bell in the cupola ringing, while
down stairs the Port Norris Band was
making spirited music.

Obituary.
(Contributed.)
MRS. LANES. E. pETTIT.

y
Again we are called on to record the
passing away of one of the strong,
pure women, whose graces of mind and
person made Kenosha famous in the
early COS as being the possessor of
more beautiful girls than any city of
it's size in the West.
Ella Amelia Stryker was born in this
city Aug. p, 1916. She grew to
maidenhood under the sweet influences
that tended to make her the loved COM
panion at school, the affectionate
daughter at home, and, later in life,
the idol of her own home.
In 1864 she became student in the
we11-known ladies' seminary at Utica,
N. Y.
turned to- Kenosha, and on the 10th of
October, 1866, was united in the bonds
of wed1ock with James E. Petit, so
we11-known to the middle aged citizens
of this city.
She became a member of the Congre-
gationa1 church here in 1867, and re-
moved to Chicago the same year,
where she remained up to the time of
her death.
She was possessed of that indefnab1e
magnetism that caused legions of
warmest friends toFgather around her
where ever her lot was cast, and, with
her, to be, a friend once was to be a
friend always.
When her family or friends were IN
trouble they always came to her anc
found pillar of strength, and many
will remember the CHEEKY words Of
comfort, and the unfolding of their
hands in their despair, and her words
of deep sympathy will always be {
sweet memory.
A great reader, especially of the
daily newspapers, she kept we'll il
touch with with all the questions Of
public interest, and her kindest ex
pressionsss went out to the INDECENT ant
oppressed.
A true Eand' consistent hospitality
caused her door to swing wide to he1
many friends.
She loved young people, for she was
always young; she loved music and al
the elements that go towards making
life bright. She always wanted it 1igh
in her home.
During eight long and weary months
of illness she struggled against the
attacks of the grim terror with hopeful
ness and a sad, sweet patience thai
was heartbreaking to see, and in he1
DEPARTURE she leaves naught behind
but sweet mem cries of her loneliness Of
character and beautiful personality.
On Thursday morning, Sept. 81, she
passed quietly away, and on Saturday
the 23rd, she was brought to her old
