AT tno iusthnce OF FrOf Burdett Bayle
superintendent of the McKean county
schools, an effort will be made to raise
fund ofSl 900 as reward for the recovery
of the body of little Michael Stefan, the
Ludlow boy who disappeared from home

know that the Stefan family formerly re-
sided at Kellettville, this county.

residence property of Mrs. Ella Hill, on
Elm street, in the upper part of town,

That the Courier recently was right
in assuming that girl who came here
from Msrenyile and who fell into the
hands of the Ladies' Aid and through
them into the hands of the police, needed
looking after, has been proven by late
developments. According to the Cleve-
land papers of yesterday, the girl, whose
name is Nellie Croser, when she was
sent to Shippenville, early in the week to
go to relatives located by Mayor Dicken-
son and the police, and after having been
furnished with transportation and funds,
went no farther than Oil City before she
changed her mind as to where she wanted
to go. At that blace she met with rail-
road man, who, she says, enticed her to
go to Cleveland with him. At that place
they were placed under arrest and the
rairoader fined $50 and sent TO the work.

hands of the juvenile court and unless
relatives, who have been notified, come

mayor here and being questioned, she
showed all the nerve Of a city girl who
had varied experience Cour-
