Eastport Me, May 23.-One of the

brought to light here. Mrs Frank A.
Jones. well-known Prescott woman,
has been missing from her home there
for several weeks past and her hus-
band, hoping against hope that each
day would witness her return, has, up
to the present time, said nothing con-
corning his wifes disappearance. 1t
is believed that Mrs. Jones, who is
|about 80 years of age and highly re-
|speeted, may have become unabal-
aneed mentally. But, even on this
theory, it is difficult to understand
why no trace of her whereabouts has
been found.
Mrs. Jones left two small children,
to whom she was greatly attached.

her disappearance and is making
every effort to discover her where
abouts. 1t is thought she may be in

the search.
