not, but he does want the horse and
buggy in which she drove away yes
terday afternoon. The last trace he
has been able to get of the missing
ing spouse, she was at a water trough
beside the road strewn with flowers,
with which she had started to town.
He has been able. so far, to secure
no trace of the horse and buggy.
According to Hoffman, his wife, a
pretty blonde of "a years, started to
the city from the greenhouse with a
big load 'of choice cut flowers. The
latter were loaded in his rubber
tired buggy, drawn by his blooded
black horse. Along the road Mrs.
Hoffman telephoned to her husband
several times. and he informs the
police that. from her conversation,
he, judged she had been patronizing
the flowing bowl freely.
When she did not return in the
evening her husband started on
search. Down the road he found
the load of flowers scattered in the
dust. From people in that vicinity
he learned that his wife was last
seen performing a mermaid stunt in
the roadside watering trough. No
one had seen the horse and buggy.
