Sight Of Pretty Towel and NighllGS Too
Much for One Woman.
Committee Searched Block Island in
Vain for Two Popular Young Men.
Oneyville Branch of the Providence News Hefernan
News Store, Hartford avenue Telephone 4o-West.

At an early hour this morning Mar
NcDonough. who lives in the rear OF
Chaffee street, saw two children's nigh
gowns and a towel with a pretty borde
hanging from the line OF Mary Carron 1
the same yard. Mrs. McDonough evident
ly thought that the night gowns woul
just fit her offsprings, and were a littl
too good for the Carron children and tina
she was just one towel short, and no
having the ready cash TO purchase ther
came TO the conclusion that all that wa
necessary for her TO do was TO get on
and go TO Mrs. Carron's clothes line.
The plan would perhaps have worke-
alright had not LADY" I'm the mex
house got up a few moments earlier thai
Mrs. McDonough and she saw the latte
help herself TO Mrs. Carron's wash.
Neighbor like the woman who saw Mrs
McDonough take the said two nigh
dresses and one towel could not wait q
prepare the breakfast for those who wer,
soon 10 be called for their daily toll. bu
hied herself TO the home OF the Carrons
and told them what she saw. Mrs. Car
ron went to the Chaffee street police sta,
tion and told the story and straigh tway
went Sergeant Bennett TO the home OF
Mrs. MoDonough, and in few moments
Mr.. Bennett and Mrs McDonough wend.
ed their way 10 the station.
At first the woman denied having any
knowledge OF the incident but when con
fronted by the early riser and one or two
others. admitted that she took them.
When asked TO produce them, said that
her sister Mary had put them In the
stove and burned them
Mary, who also had a conference with
the police. told Mrs McDonough that she
put them In the stove herself. and, Mrs
McDonough then made a clean breast OF
the matter. and the last seen of her was
riding through Chaffee street I'm the 5000
rubber-tired chariot In charge OF Patrol
man p. J. Tanning. their destination be-
Ing the Sixth district court.
WHERE ARE THEY?
How 10 be lost in Block Island is a
mystery. but such seems TO be the fate
OF James Scheley and John McKenna
OF the thriving little village OF Lymans-
Vile
There cannot be found at this place.
two young men better known than thew
and nearly every man, woman and child
are interested in their welfare and today
are in fear that something terrible has
befallen them, for no trace OF them can
be found
Last Monday morning they left their
happy homes for Block Island and their
most OF friends knew that when they
reached the island, that they would be n =
eafe and as well cared for as II at home
Tuesday, OF this week. one OF the best
known young men OF Lymansv.lle who
had spent his two weeks vacation at
Block Island came home and. OF course,
ell asked for Schelley and McKenna but
the young man said that ne had not seen
them. This at once started commotion
IN the quaint little village OF Lymans-
Vile, and a committee OF three were an
pointed by the citizens at large to go TO
Block Island. and they were instruct ed
not TO spare time nor expense IN finding
Messsrs. Schelley and McKenna
The committee returned 10 the village
this morning. and reported that ~ the
missing men were at Block Island. they
certainly must be living in a Woodchuck
hole. for they were not registered at any
hotel or boarding house on the Island
This report cast gloom over Lymans-
vile, but the committee and the cltizens
generally, do not know where TO go or
s-hat 10 do In this case. but must CON
tent themselves until Monday, when
these young men are supposed 10 put in
their appearance but they must not come
back with the story that they spent their
at Block Island
Some suggested going 10 Coney Island
but wiser council prevailed and said that
the sport was OF larger growth. that
the committee were capable OF handling.
