Locks, the Envy of Many Won en-,
Are Cut OFF by Man
On Street.

81. LOUIS. Dec. 27.-who stole Mrs.
william J. Ehlen's beautiful golden
hair7
The police of st, Louis admit they
have no clue today to the miscreant
who sandbagged the young woman and
rcObed her of the golden locks that
have for many years been a source Of
envy 10 all St Louis. Mrs. Ehlen's
hair was not an ordinary ggowth The
longest of the locks measured more
than five feet. And Il was her own
every cit of it. The fact that the thief
was compelled to use a sandbag be
fore he could cut the hair is regarded
as evidence enough Of that fact, even
If her shorn head did not further bear
out the story.
This is the third time Mrs. EhIen' s
hair has been threatened Several
weeks ago she was accosted by a man
in the street who offered TO buy fl.
She refused and a short timc afterward
some one attempted to snip off several
long locks with a pair Of shears. The
last. and successful. attempt occurred
yesterday as Mrs. Ehlen was on her
way to church.
