THEY DISAPPEAR MYSTERIOUSLY

On September 9 Chief of Police Muir
ply received a letter from J. D. Lock
wood, proprietor of the Naples Hotel,
Amosting, New York, stating that a
young Jersey City man who. had been
stopping at his place for week had mys-
teriously disappeared The New York
hotel proprietor stated that the young
man came from Jersey City, that he had
recently married and was accompanied
by bride. He registered as G. L. Dodd
and wife. The young woman told Mrs.
Lockwood, wife of the proprietor of the
hotel, that she was recently married to
Mr.. Dodd and that if anything happened
to her a letter would be found in
dress suit case in their room that would
explain matters. The young couple did
not associate with the other people in the
hotel. and Mrs. Dodd was frequently
heafsAcrying.
The letter went ON to state that the
young people were to take train at
Pine Bush at O'clock on the afternoon
of September 2S and were to leave the
hotel by stage coach to catch a 2 o'clock
train. Just before the coach left the ho-
tel for the three hours ride Young Dodd
and his wife were seem to leave the hotel
and walk up mountain side road. As
they did not return that night the hotel
people and the villagers armed them
selves and with lanterns instituted an all
nights search. The search proved un-
successful, and the hotel people decided
to search the rooms of the missing
couple. A letter was found, as the
young bride had already stated, address
ed to Mrs. J. D. Lockwood The letter
was signed by G. L. Dodd. 1t read:
''I've had to leave here very myster-
iously. / cannot explain now, but l will
some day. Ask you as a favor to keep
this dress suit case of mine until l come
back, if l ever do. 1t may be one year,
or two years, or sooner, or may be never.
/ beg of you to keep it for me unopened
until l return"
The Lockwoods and the guests at the
hotel were alarmed, and finally decided
to force open the dress suit case. Inside
they found the picture of the young bride
and strange man. They also found the
picture of young child, an empty pock-
etbook and another letter addressed ito
whom it may concern. This letter read:
IF anyone should open this suit case
hope they will leave everything alone,
as they are very dear to me.
