MISSING GIRL REAPPEARS.
Queenie Linn Claims to Have Been
Prisoner for Two Months.

La Crosse-Queenie Linn, the ID
year-old girl, who mysteriously disap-
peared from this city early in Septem-
Der and whose supposed kidnapping by
a police officer caused a scandal and
several lawsuits, has returned home
as mysteriously as she left. The girl
maintains that upon answering an ad-
vertisement for a girl wanted who
could speak French and English, she
was taken in charge by a woman call
ing herself Mrs Morris, and remained
virtually in the latter's custody for
two months. She returned wearing
the same light summer clothing she
had when she left and was suffering
from the cold. She was reluctant to
tell anything of her experiences,
claiming that she had been travelling
from city to city, but her parents
place no faith in this part of her
story, and have renewed their demand
for an investigation.
It is the general belief that the girl
was detained somewhere in the city.

While the citizens are considering
the advisability of widening the side
walks of the business portion of the
city so as to make them equal to
the needs of the city's growth, it
would be we'll to remember that near
ly year ago an ordinance was pass
ed requiring all electric wires in GER
tain portions of the city to be placed
in underground conduits. The COM
panies were given year in which
to comply with the provisions Of the
ordinance, and so far there has been
no attempt on their part to do so,
nor has there been a single effort,
so far as known, on the part of the
city executive to make them do So
1t is not supposed that the City
council passed such ordinances mere
ly as plays to the galleries or to kill
time. The corporations holding such
franchises should be made to comply
with the ordinance at once. This
would solve a part of the difficulty
under which the taxpayers are labor
ing who desire an improvement in
the present sidewalk matter.

New York. March 27.-For what
may be the last time, Harry K Thaw
was in court today to face the jury
before which he has been on trial. The
jury had been excused while the ap-
pointment of the lunacy commission
was under consideration. the actual
sessions of court being adjourned un-.
til today. 1t was expected, that, in
view of the appointment of the lunacy
commission yesterday, the court
would today again excuse the jury,
from further attendance until the
commission has completed It's work.
Thaw prepared for the day with
more than his usual care, believing
that he would be under the scrutiny
of the members of the commission at
some time during the day. After
breakfast he read newspapers, taking
a keen interest in various reports of
the appointment of the commission to
examine into the question of his san
ity. He appeared puzzled at the differ
ent conflicting stories told as to the
methods of procedure. and asked A.
Russell Peabody, of his counsel, to
explain the procedure prescribed by
law. Peabody remained for an hour
with Thaw. No other visitors called.
Are you unreasonable? Think it
over, and answer the question candid
ly to yourself.
