A MYSTERIOUS T
An Entire Family Disappears and
BIood-stained Clothing Dis
covered.

St. Louis, June 1s.-There is a mys-
terry in the southwestern portion of
the city which the authorities are
trying to solve.
Mrs. Henry Mullering and her IA
year-old daughter, Emma, disappeared
from their home on Pernod road on
Nav I. All efforts to find them or
any clew to their whereabouts have
been unsuccessful.
Shortly after the disappearance of
Mrs. Mullering and the daughter,
Mullering sold his growing crop, his
implements and stock and left the
place.
Mullering has not been seen since
last Saturday morning, when he called
at the home of Lemuel Staley, where
he displayed two railroad tickets,
and left, apparently in haste.
Joseph Portner rented the Null
lering place when Mullering left it.
The Portners, in rumaging through
the house, found a blood-stained
dress and other blo~od-stained gar
ments, which neighbors say had be-
longed to Mrs. Mullering. These gar
ments, apparently, had been hidden
by some one. The Portners burned
them.
If Mrs. Mullering and her daughter
ran away from home they did not
leave in good clothes. Their bes'
garments, their best shoes, then
good hatsLthese were all found il
the house.
A search is being made of place
in the vicinity where the bodies o
the woman and girl might be hiddel
in the event that they were muir
dered.
