Sheriff Anton 0sien Does En-
ceIIent Work On the
Mystery Case

After a search By the county
authorities covering a period of
more than a month, the long
missing Miss Mamie Shanahan
of Medo has been definitely and
indisputatly located. She has
been found at Mason City, Iowa.
The finding of the girl was due
to a tip furnished by The Free
Press.
On Sunday afternoon a letter
was written by The Free Press to
The Mason City Times, telling
CT the disappearance of the girl
and stating that there was good
reason to believe that she was in
Mason City. In the letter was
enclosed a clipping from a for
mer issue of The Free Press, Civ
ing a picture of the girl and her
description.
SOME QUICK WORK.
Monday afternoon about three
o'clock, The Free Press received
a telegram from The Mason City
Times, stating that it was be-
lieved that the girl had been To-
Gated. At 4:30 the same after
noon, The Free Press was called
up by The Times, and informed
that a representative of that pa
per had had an interview with
Mamie Shanahan, but had not
told her why she was inter
viewed.
SHERIFF TO SEE HER.
Sheriff Osten Monday night
went to Mason City in search of
the girl, and to see whether the
right one he'd been found. Yes
terday the sheriff saw the girl,
but he did not introduce himself
to her or say anything to her, as
he feared that she might leave
the city, if she saw that she was
being traced However, he sent
word to have Peter Olson of
Medo, son of Barney Olson, who
was former guardian of LAME
Shanahan, come to Mason City
at once and see whether he could
positively identify the girl.
IDENTITY ESTABLISHED.
Peter Olson left at once for
Mason City, arriving there this
morning. He went to the Mason
City Y. w. G. A. building, where
Mamie Shanahan had been stay
ing and asked to see her. She
recognized him in an instant,
walked up to him and shook
hands with him. When Sheriff
Osten asked her why she had
left home, she started to cry and
said she did not know. Then
che said the folks were mean to
her. She said she had had no
idea that anybody was looking
for her. Afterwards she said il
was tnobody's business if she did
leave her uncle's home. When
asked If she would return there,
she said she did not know, but
she would think il over. She
declined to give any information
as to how she left her uncle :
home in Medic. She would not
say whether anyone assisted her
The girl has been working al
the Y. w. @. A. since the 30th
Of July. Most of the time she
has been washing dishes there

SUNNYSIOE NOW PART OF The CITY
Charter Amendment Added This Section Municipality
January 1st-Engneer Pitcher Set Three Merestones
at New Southern Limits Established For City Line
Laurel Hill

According to the bill passed by the
state legislature of 1913, amending the
charter of the city of Norwich to per-
nit of the addition to the city limits
of what is known as Sunnyside on
Laurel Hill that section has been a
part of the city of Norwich since the
first Of the year as the act went into
effect on the first of January, 1914
The assigned boundaries for the
Sunnyside section named in the act
extend the southern limits of the city
on the east side of the Thames river
to some distance beyond where the city
line was previously. The old line
crossed Laurel Hill avenue at a point
just north of Norman chapel The
new southerly line will about CORE
spond with the stone wall south of
the Anna Spicer house on Laurel Hill
avenue. On a rough estimate the area
in the Sunnyside addition is four
tenths of a square mile.
In the legislative act the boundaries
of the addition are given as westerly
by the city line along the Thames
river, northerly by the city line, easter
ly by the line between the towns of
Norwich and Preston. and southerly
by line passing through a point in
range with the westerly side or the
Anna Spicer house on the westerly
side of Laurel Hill avenue and distant
III feet southerly from the extreme
southwest corner thereof and through
a point in range with the second house
Norwich bulletin. [volume] (Norwich, Conn.) 1895-2011, 1914-01-08

easterly Of Laurel Hill avenue on the
southerly side of Bentley avenue and
owned by Anna Spicer and distant 60
feet from the southwesterly corner
thereof
1t is also provided in the act that
this new portion becomes a part of the
first voting district.
This addition to the city limits brings
the Laurel Hill school building, Nor
man school, the Thermos factory and
the MacKay Copper Process company
factory into the city. The streets that
are included in the added section are
Sunnyside avenue, Phillips avenue,
Whitaker avenue, Clay avenue, Gar
field, Cottage, Crouch, Warrington,
Watrous and Evergreen avenues and
Bentley street and Thermos avenue.
City Engineer George E. Pitcher ex-
poets to locate three merestones there
as soon as he has a chance to indi-
cate the southern boundaries of the
city line. One stone will be at the high
water mark on the river bank, another
on Laurel Hill avenue, and the third
at the corner made where the new line
comes to the Preston town line.
AS the new section is now within
the city limits. it will be entitled to
police protection but so far as known
no provision about this has been made
yet.
Among other city improvements
there are sewers to be built in this
section.

Climatic conditions in Connecticut

Professor Huntington, who made a.

tories of the effect of climatic changes
on the wage earning capacity Of the

barometric changes had an almost
negligible effect, he had noted great
