Cattle Disease Costly.

Mason City, Oct, GA disease OF
cattle which SO far has proven a
mystery to veterinarians is an cpl
demic in the vicinity of Fertile and
the northwest part of this county.
William circuit has lost two valu-
able cows. Henry Burtness seven
head and Chris Paulson six.
The first symptom noticed is a
severe hemorrhage of the bowels,
which weakens the animal and they
gradually go into stupor. None
reaching that stage. so far, has been
saved. Several veterinarians have
diagnosed cases, but without nam
ing the disease. In the vicinity OF
Nora Springs hog cholera is preva-
lent. Henry Waller lost his entire
herd. Farmers are paying 80 cents
per head to have their hogs inocu-
lated with serum.

TWO BOONE
GIRLS HUNTED
By Police
Elsie Driscol and Ruth Mckinney
Disappear From
Home
CASE Is A STRANGE ONE
Police Fear Foul Play or Illegal

alton.
CASE IS A STRANGE ONE

+. &
meabers of the local police depart
ment have been busy since II
O'Clock last night searching for Ell
sic Driscoll, the 14-year-o1d daugh
ter Of Mrs. Grace Driscoll of Boone
and Ruth Mckinney. 16 years old
also Of Boone. The two girls mys
teriously disappeared from theil
homes early yesterday and the cir
cumstances surrounding the affail
lead the grief stricken mother ant
the police to believe that either fou
play or Illegal enticing of the girl.
is involved in the case.
Elsie Driscoll took more than $50
in cash and check for $50 with
her when she left home. Also she
took several valuable jewels. Most
of the money taken and part Of
the jewels were the property OF
Mrs. DriscoIl. Whether the McBir.
ney girl had a great amount OF
money with her Mrs. Driscoll was
unable to say last night when she
came here from Boone to report the
case to the local police.
Hrs. Driscoll came to Des Moinee
Wednesday afternoon to visit a
friend in the Methodist hospital.
She left her daughter, Elsie, in
charge Of the house at Boone and
she understood before she left that
Miss Mckinney was to spend Wed
nesday night with Elsie.
Knowing that Ruth Mckinney had
a sister. Jennie McBirney, residing
in Des Moines, Mrs. Driscoll thought
it probable that the girls had come
here, and che consequently took the
first inteIurban car out Of Boone for
Des Moines. On her arrival here
she went straight to police head
quarters and informed w. e. Nc
Dowell. acting captain. Of the dis
appearance. telling him of the pos
sibility that the girls had gone to
the home of Jennie McBirney.
A detective was sent with Mrs.
Driscoll to 40s East Sixth street
where Jennie McBirney had former
ly lived, but they learned that this
woman had moved two weeks ago,
The police are now searching the
city for this woman.
Elsie Driscoll is described as a
pretty girl and dressed attractively.
The mother said she had little
apprehension In leaving Elsie alone,
as she had done SO before. Howev-
or, when she returned to Boone at
s o'clock last evening she thought
1t strange that her daughter was
not around the home. She COM
inundated with the parents of Ruth
Mckinney and learned that they had
not seen their daughter since early
in the morning The Boone police
dfRcials were Immediately notified
OF the case and careful search was
made for the girls all over the town.
But they were nowhere to be found
and no one was able to give a par
ticle of information that would aid
in locating them.
