Ice Boat Season at Hand
The frigid temperature experienced
latterly has gladdened the hearts of the
Green Bay ice boat enthusiasts. Much
of the bay is frozen over 1t will be
some days yet before the-ice can be
ventured upon with safety, but active
preparations are being made for the
forthcoming sport and most success
ful season Is expected. There is a
great deal of rivalry among owners of
boats and some classy events are
promised i'm the racing line. According
To reports regatta will be held some
time in February Menominee is the
home of some OF the best boats in the
Green Bay feet, and among them is the

Aged Woman is Missing
Where Is Mrs. Jane Pardo. IS years !
of age who formerly lived at 112 South |
Wolcott street? That Is question |
which is puzzlng the authorities at |
Escanaba. Fearing that the woman !
had died at her homo and as the result
of inquiries made by the anxious
neighbors, Chief of Police Rowe and
Poor Commissioner Blanchett went to
the house and broke i'm the door. No
trace of the woman was found. Mrs.
Pardo, was OF peculiarly retired and
reserved disposition and although IL
was several times reported to Mr..
Blanchett that She was desperately I'm
need of aid and he several times went
to the house and.soffered to. send food
and wood. she steadfastly refused Go
accept any help from the city. She
gave the Impression to neighbors of
one who had at some time enjoyed a
much better position and to the few
who knew her she had frequently ex-
pressed her adherence OF ever being
forced to become city or county
charge. She was last seen about the
house two weeks ago, shortly after
Commissioners Blanchett had been
there to again offer aid Tho disap-
pearance of the woman had been con-
siderable mystery in the nelghborhood
Tor several days and because Il was
believed by some that Mrs. pardo
might be found dead the officers were
Induced to force an entrance and search
the rooms.- Everything within the
house was found in perfect order nut
very little<is known Of Mrs. Pardo,s
history and whether or not she has ,
relatives cannot be learned. :
