The latest reports in relation to Miss
Kate Neary. who is missing from her
home on Wood street, is that she is on
her way back TO Ireland. for number
of young ladies who are employed at the
Riverside mills where the missing girl
was also employed say that for some
time, Kate's mind has been settled upon
her father and mother. who are In Ire
land, and in fact she was so homesick,
that she had but little thought for her
work
There are none who know this young
woman, who for a moment would think
that she would do any rash act, nor
would she commit any act that would In
any way bring disgrace TO her many rel
atives here, all of whom are well known
In church and social circles. The fact
that she took but few OF her belongings
from her home and left a small amount
OF cash In her room, and her pay at tho
mill. is what has led her relatives TO be
mystified over her departure As she has
been In this country for two years or
more, II Is possible that she had laid
aside portion of her earnings for the
proposed going back to Ireland. and her
associates at the mill are quite confident
that when she is heard from. that she
will be under the roof of her parents In
Ireland.
