Woman Disappears
In the SiSkiyOu


Where is Mrs. T.. P. Lamson, a
widow, who left Redding six weeks
ago for points up the canyon and has
not been heard from except for one
letter mailed from Weed June "a to
her eleven-year-old daughter, Ethel
Lamson, who has been left practically
alone in this city?
This question is puzzling the police
OF both Shasta and Siskiyou counties,
who are unable to offer any explana-
tion, as well as other investigators
who have been making every effort
to locate her or find a substantial
clew. Friends in this city fear that
Mrs. Lamson is either dead or has
met with foul play in the numbering
camps, possibly among foreigners,
where she went to solicit industrial
accident insurance for the r. II. Mich
OILS Company of Redding.
Mrs. Lamson's husband died six
months ago. She came here from
Denver with her daughter to earn
her living. She first engaged in
newspaper and magazine soliciting,
later taking up insurance. She pros
pered, earning ninety dollars in COM
missions the first three weeks of her
work. She visited nearly all of the
canyon towns where men are en-
ployed, Weed being the last, though
she wrote in her only letter that she
intended to make her next stop at
Hit. 1t is not known whether she
reached there. She visited the min
ing camps of Shasta county and on
one occasion met with a reverse that
disheartened her. A laborer at Iron
Mountain was insulting to such an
extent that Mrs. Lamson returned
here with the intention of abandon
ing the work as a solicitor She was
persuaded to keep on, however.
The vanished woman is aged SO
and is of comely appearance. This
has led to fear that she may have
met with foul treatment or that she
has been detained against her will.
There is possibility that she is a
victim of white slavers.
Ethel Lamson has been cared for
by friends, her mother having provid-
ed for her support only for short
time. She was first with MIR. and
Mrs. Sheridan Strunck, Strunck being
with the Nichols company. At pres
ent Ethel is al the hdTRb of Mr.. and
Mrs. EhrliCh in East street. She has
no clothes and is penniless. An ef-
fort is being made to find her a
home with family.
The letter received from Mrs Lam
son by her daughter contained two
important statements The writer
said that she was feeling very sick
and that if she did not return to
Redding in the near future Ethel
should find home for herself with
llltuuoi WhO WtIt Wiliiub W tame Htl
and that she mrs Lamson) would
send money to pay for board and
lodging and other expenses. Nothing
more has been heard
Every effort on the part of Investi-
gators to obtain even the slightest
clew has failed. No one knows any
thin gof the departure OF Mrs. Lam
son from Weed or of her present
whereabouts. II she is alive and
acted of her free will in remaining
away she has confided to no one. IL
is hoped that publicity viii be of avail
in throwing some light on the mys-
terry of the woman's disappearance.
Because OF the fact that she was es-
teemed by her employees and respect
ed by those whose acquaintance she
made while here, deep concern as to
her safety has been aroused.

legal, will not begin for several months.

GREOO, Miss, SIX Weeks Ago
When Moving 90 Their
New Home.


Dead tired and with its toe nails worn
down so far that it could hardly stand
up, shepherd dog belonging to G. A..
Bolen, formerly of South Omaha, was
found asleep yesterday curled up at
the doorstep of its masters father, @.
Bolen. 723 North Twenty-second street,
South Omaha. after making a trip OF
about 1,OOo miles i'm two weeks.
That is going some for a 2-year-old
canine. and it was nothing more extraor-
binary than inconsistencies that instigated
its trip back through all kinds of weather
and over all sorts of roads to see its
mother. But even after such heroic ef-
forts on the part Of tho poor animal it
arrived only TO find that it's mother was
dead having been shot two weeks ago.
The restof the story is stereotyped in
that the dog was taken TO its new south
ern home about six weeks ago by the
"a. A. Bolen family when the members
moved to Yazoo. Miss. and made the trip
in an automobile. The trip consumed
four weeks, and after establishing them
selves. in their new home the family went
OF another trip to New Orleans. leaving
the dog at home. 1t became lonesome.
and the rest of the story has been told.
excepting that its trail, stained from its
bleeding toe nails, showed at South
Omaha that It had first tried TO enter
the doors of the South Omaha Van and
Storage company barn, formerly owned
by Mr.. Bolen, and meeting with dlsap-
pointment there went over to the elder
Bolen's home, where it looked high and
low for its mother, only to finally lie
down exhausted at the doorstep Of the
house.
Just before moving to Yazoo Mr.. Bolen
gave the mother of the dog to his Gather

trail.
