George Wilson of Moose Meadow |
feels a pardonable anxiety about the
whereabouts of his wife. Mr.. Wilson |
says that she left home last Thursday,
saying that she was coming to Stafford
Springs to do some trading, and he
has not seen her since, nor has he |
heard from her. There are two young |
children in the family, both boys.
Mrs. Wilson has one of the children |
with her and the other is at home. |
Mr.. Wilson says that his hired man
left the same day that his wife did. |
Through careful inquiry the injured
husband is led to believe that his wife
and the hired man, whose name is
Cushman, left on the same train.
