Miss Florence Z. Whittier, 10 years
old. grandniece OF the Quaker poet,
John Greenleaf Whittier. left the bus
mess school she attended In Boston at
2 o'clock on the afternoon Of Jan. IL.
and stepped into the street.
From that moment to this not
word has been heard from her. and
all Boston wonders and guesses.
- The police and professional and
amateur detectives are searching for
her in Canada, as far south as Cuba,
and even in England.
II is a case that rivals the Arnold
mystery, but In this instance there Is
no clew upon which to work. She
had no lover. an elopement seems out
OF the question. and there was moth
ing IN her past life to indicate any
motive for suicide.

Oskar claims that the young girl
who is in his custody is his step
daughter and that her home was in
Winnipeg, but that he was taking her
to Minneapolis.
The action Of Oskar and the girl,
whose name Is Annie Hoffmeister, were
very suspicious and aroused the at
tention of landlord Of the hotel, where
they were stopping. An investigation
was started and Oskar was found in
her room. The pair were thrown out
of the hotel.
They boarded an N. p. train and at
Pembina they were arrested by inn
migration officials of the u. S. They
were given a preliminary examination
and their hearing has been set for to-
morrow. Oskar had SIS on his person
when he was arrested and has paid
out the greater part of this to an at
torney whom he has retained to defend
him.
Judge Barnett was to 90 up for the
government and act in the case but he
has the Gunderson trial here tomorrow,
which may make it impossible for him

Man THOUGHT TO
BE UNBALANCED
MAN ARRESTED HERE IS BEING
HELD uN7.- SOMETHING DEFI-
MITE is LEARNED FROM HIS
PARENTS AS HE is THOUGHT
TO BE MENTALLY WRONG.

Charles E. Kemp, young man
about % years old, is being held by
the Fargo police because of the fact
that he is thought to be mentally un-
balanced. Kemp was arrested on a
minor charge and his condition is con-
sidered quite grave.
The young man has told a number
of stories about himself, some Of which
were very foolish, and have lead the
officials OF the city to believe that he
is off in his upper story. He has lost
everything he has apparently ever
owned except the clothes which he
wears on his back.
Kemp remembers of having left his
tools in Winnipeg, but at what place
In the Canadian metropolis he has no
idea. He has no recollection Of what
he did with his suit case and says that
he had great many fine clothes, none
Of which he can remember much about
except that they are now gone.
Somewhere within five miles OF
Fargo Kemp says that he was robbed
during the last few days He does
not know whether 1t was north, south,
east or west of the city. and all he
seems to be able to tell about the
alleged robbery is that his money was
taken away from him.
To Judge Miller this morning Kemp
gave the name OF his father and street
address. The parent lives in Toronto.
Ont, where he is a carpenter and
builder. Judge Miller viii write to
the father OF the unfortunate man. In
the meantime he will be held until his
parents are heard from BY the okic-
falls.

CONCRETE PIERS
FOR The N. P. RY.
PROVE PRACTICAL AND EcoNoM.
IcAL--NoRTHERN PACIFIC
lNSTALLS MANY.

Jamestown, N. D.. July 5.-During
the past two years many of the small
er pile and timber trestles on the
Northern Pacific lines have been re-
placed by structures consisting of re-
inforced concrete slabs on reinforced
concrete piers, supported on concrete
piles. They represent many advan-
tages for use where the maximum
height does not exceed twenty feet and
where the streams bridged are COM
paratively free from drift and ice. The
ballasted deck permits lining and sur
facing by the section crews and
makes track which rides as we'll as
that upon an embankment. The cost
of maintainance is reduced to the min
imum, as no cleaning, painting or ad-
justing are required.
In constructing these trestles, the
slabs and piles are cast at a central
plant, and when cured, are shipped
to the bridge sites, the rest of the
work being done by the regular d.
vision forces. The piles are driven by
a steel track driver equipped with a
450o-pound drop hammer, and a water
jet The head OF the pile is protected
during driving by a steel cap, fitted
with cushion and wooden follower.
The best progress in driving is made
by short, quick blows. with the heavy
hammer in conjunction with the use of
the stream Of water, The piles stand
a great deal Of pounding, and can be
driven in formations in which a wood
en- pile would be shattered.
The Northern Pacific's plant for
manufacturing the concrete piles,
slabs and pipe is at Glendive, Mont.
