AN AKRON MYSTERY.
Girl Disappears, and 1t Is Fear
ed She Has Wandered Away
and Died.

Akron, Aug. 4.-Miss Eva May Mef.
niger, a recent Boxwell graduate, is the
object of a search in which practically
all the male inhabitants of Springfield
township have joined She left her home
one week ago. 1t was thought that she
had started to the home of young
lady friend. She has not been heard
from since. For five days searching
parties have secured the country for
miles around her home. The peculiar
feature Of the affair is that no person
has been found who remembers seeing
the girl at any time since the day she
left home. She is 16 years Of age and
accomplished. 1t Is feared that she
became insane by reason Of over-study
and that she wandered away and died
from exposure. Akron officers have
been asked to assist in the search.

FRESH PLOT
Unearthed by Pittsburg Rail
road Men-Thrilling Tale
of Bombs and Things.

A thrilling anarchistic story was
current at Union station Thursday, says
the Pittsburg Times. In view Of the re-
cent tragic event in Italy, some of the
railroaders were inclined to look upon
1t seriously.
The story in effect was that when
Edward X. Bierer, a passenger conduc-
cor on the Pennsylvania railroad, living
at Greensburg, who runs train be-
tween Greensburg and Pittsburg,
reached this city with his train on
Tuesday evening, at 1920 o'clock, he
told a number of employees about Un-
ion station that he had received anon
writer's threatened to kill head officials
of the Pennsylvania railway company.
Further details Of the story had 1t
that the narrowing tale reached the
ears Of the Pennsylvania officials IN
Pittsburg, and that the said officials lost
no time, Thursday, in summoning Mr..
Bierer to Piitsburg, to tell them all
about the affair. Color was given to
this report of the story by the fact that
Mr.. Bierer was in Pitttsburg Thursday
afternoon, though he did not bring in &
train.
The story progressed further to the
effect that the Pennsylvania officials
had taken the precaution to lay the
matter before Supt. A. II. Leslie, of
the bureau of Pittsbuig police. Mr..
Leslie denied all knowledge of the
matter. as did also Roger O'Mara, su-
perntendent Of the bureau Of detec-
tives. s. II. Church, assistant secre-
tary of the board of directors of the
Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg,
had not heard of the threats and pro-
nounced the whole thing the work of
cranks. When an effort was made to
establish communications with the
Pennsylvania officials said to have been
threatened, 1t was learned that they
were either out of town on vacation or
safely at home in bed.
The supposed anarchistic letters prob
ably had their origin in Westmoreland
county, which seems to be harboring
a crowd that is looking for trouble, and
is likely to find It,

court" interjected the mayor. "This
isn't the place for fun or smartness."
I. w. Crowl said he knew the defend
ant and that he saw him Sunday one
mile on this side of Osnaburg, driving
home with bay horse. He didn't no
tice whether Ray wore a mustache at
that time.
RAYS STATEMENT.
Isaac Bergman, residing on Robin
street, and Philip Vickstein, neigh
Dor, were witnesses to the horse trade
Sunday, and they stated that he had a
gray horse with him and tried to trade
with other parties. When all the wit
nesses on the part of the state had tes-
titled, the mayor stated to Ray that it
was his privilege to make statement,
although 1t was not question Of
compulsion. Ray said that he wanted
to make a statement, and he occupied
the witness chair. He stated that he
left his fathers home in Minerva about
$3.50 Saturday evening and drove to an
aunts home. Mrs. Crowl, several miles
distant. He said that he remained
there until Sunday morning, then drove
to this city and imbibed some liquor
during the day. He denied having vis-
tied the vicinity of Robin street, and
emphatically denied that he had handed
them the receipt that was produced in
evidence. He said he did not sign his
name as Johnson, and that he would
not have refused to state his right name
IL he had made such a trade. Ray ad-
mitted to having met Keckley in this
city, but none of the other witnesses
who saw him on the street while driv-
ing.
Marshal Leyda, of Minerva, was call
ed to the stand, and he stated that he
held a conversation with Ray in the
village of Minerva, Saturday night
about 11:30 o'clock. He said they met
in front of the grocery of j. NJ. Need,
just opposite the Motifs & Hahn mill,
| which stands close to the barn from
which the animal was taken. The
marshal said that he was making his
rounds of the stores that night and he
was certain that it was 1880 o'clock.
When all the testimony was in, the
mayor stated that the facts were suf-
ficient to bind Ray over to await the
| action of the grand jury. Ray was un-
| able to furnish $500 bond, and he was
| remanded to the county Jail.
