private detective agency nave been
able to get the slightest clue as to
the girls possible whereabouts.
The fear of the parents is not les
sened by a strange premonition of
evil suffered by Mrs. McCarty last
Monday night.
Helen had gone to bed. Mr.. and
Mrs. McCarty were alone in the sit
ting room of their apartment Mrs.
McCarty was reading an evening
newspaper and suddenly she gave a
little cry.
What is it?" asked her husband,
and looked up to see his wife white
and shaking.
Read that terrible story" she
said.
The story was horrible one, lur-
idly dealt with under screaming
headlines.
1t was of the finding of a little
Italian girl, who had been missing
for days. She had been come upon
in a dingy tenement, half-starved,
haf-dying, horribly beaten, the vic
tim of white slavers.
McCarty shuddered as he handed
the newspaper back to his wife and
promptly forgot the story. But Mrs.
McCarty's face still was white and
she wrung her hands and cried:
eff anything like that were to hap
pen to our Helen, should die. Oh,
this terrible city, this terrible city,"
Mrs. McCarty is very near to dying
now. She has been hysterical since
last night and as she is held in bed
by plying nurses, she means about
the little Italian girl and our Helen"
Helen is five feet four inches tall,
weighs about 128 pounds, and at the
time of her disappearance had her
long, dark hair down her back in
braids. She wore a short, pink dress,
black velvet belt, black silk stock
ings, black shoes and a blue straw

GRANDE AND BERG
IN ELIMINATION
Sailor, if Victorious, May
Meet Winner of McAllis-
ter-Petroskey Bout

The patrons of the four round game
ing by Charley Grande, the toughest
piece OF fighting machinery that Val
lejo has to offer, and Otto Berg, the
best middle weight of the northwest.
They have signed to meet at the $50
pound limit and they look TO be as
weights who have appeared here for
long time
Grande has been getting away with
all comers for many weeks past. He
has been beating his rivals so easily
that the fans have been talking about
alleged plants" But Grande never
sidestepped an opponent He took on
all comers and did the best he could.
and he now stands out as the man to
meet the winner OF the McAllister-
Petroskey bout, unless he loses to Berg.
The northwestern bruiser is a tough
one. He has been in the game around
here for the last two years and none
of them were able to do much with
him. His main stock in trade is game
ness. He can stand the gaff and come
back for more all the time. He can
swing in with a good punch in both
hands, and If he does get by with
Grande he will figure for more inn
portant match in the near future.
The special attraction will bring to
gether Lee Johnson. the dark skinned
Oakland lightweight, and Harry Baker
the veteran who once fought Abe At
tell for the championship. They are
both remarkably clever and fast on
their feet. The Oaklander appears to
have a slight advantage because of his
youth and his stamina. but Baker will
show him something in ring general
ship.
Young Abe Attell is back for another
mixup with Kid Exposito, the speedy
lightweight from the northwest Both
are tearing scrappers who like to keep
the fur flying every minute of the time
so the fans should be we'll entertained
Henry Hickey of Oakland will come
to face Carl Goubatz. the champion OF
the Columbia club OF this city. and an
other whirlwind setto may be looked
for as both boys adopt the. same
method of fighting.
The other bouts are as follows:
Sailor Wilson VS.. Mike Mcclure
middle weights; frankie Jones vs
Young Papke, 1ightweights; George
Lawrence VS.. Harry Burgess, light
weights; Kid Ray VS.. Eddie Foley,
