Up to this time nothing definite has been
yearned as to the whereabouts of Mrs. George
McEtheron, whose disappearance on the 18th
caused so much excitement, and whom it was
reported had been drowned in the James
river. Later developments clearly indicated
a well-laid plan for elopement with the hired
man, Roy Underhill, employed on the Nc
Etheron stock ranch. All manner Of rumors
are afoat but officers say they have no posi-.
woman A warrant is in the hands of
Sheriff Kerr for. her arrest, and he is dill
gently at work on the case, following every
clue and using his best efforts to apprehend
her. Mr.. McEtheron is In receipt of numer-
GUS letters, one of which he is sure was
written by his wife,. but from what point is
not known to the public-supposedly from St.
Paul-in which she is. very anxious to know
what is going on here. but not indicating
where a letter would find her" Latest ,infor-
nation is that at St. Paul Mrs. McEtheren
purchased ticket for Buffalo, N. W. and
started for that city, but 1T is believed she
stopped elsewhere. Underhill, the young
man with whom she planned to elope, is in
Jail here His examination takes place on
Wednesday, at which time it is thought some
disclosures will be made that will help, clear
up the mystery. The opinion is general that
Mrs. McEtheron is not in her right mind.
