Sad Case Of Desertion.
A case of desertion Of unusually pitiful
kind was brought to the notice of the
police Wednesday evening by the coming
of Mrs. Fred Snyder from Chicago to look
up her lost husband. The police made an
effort to find Snyder, whom she thought
was working at the Cudahy packing plant.
He got letters there sent in the care of
the company. When she arrived, however,
and inquired for him no one OF that name
was found on the payroll OF the company.
He had evidently been working under an
assumed name and after sending the wo-
man SO and directing her to come to
South Omaha he left her to shift for her
self. She has a boy and two little girls
and needs support more than usually at
present. The woman was almost in de-
spair. The police referred her to the
county commissioners and it is thought
they will provide transportation for her
to Des Molnes, where she has relatives.
Trace of Missing Girl.
The police have found a trace of Mary
Slegel, who was known here as Gresslda
Pressenhoffer, a girl of IA or Is, who took
$125 out of a trunk belonging to the people
for whom she worked, the family of A.
Closer, Thirty-sixth and u streets. They
run a bakery and had hired the girl on a
recommendation. After she had been a do
nestle a few days, while the family was
absent, she took 1925 from the' trunk and
disappeared. Since then the police have
been working on the case. They have re-
ceived a tip that the girl is in Tabor, S. D.,
or at least can be traced from that point.
