Ell Reno Man is Here Looking for
His Sixteen Year Old Girl
Who Left Home in
January
TRAIL FOUND In
VARIOUS PLACES
Applies for Work in Union City
aud Miuco Believed that
Mind Wanders Police
Working on Case

That his daughter. Emmie Simmons,
is wandering in or around Chickasha
is the belief Of W. J simmons Of El
Reno, who is here investigating the
case and usins every means in his pow
er to locate his daughter, who ran
away from her home in El Reno in
January.
Mr. simmons says she is going un-
der the assumed name OF Mable Lay
ton, and when she left home she was
wearing a blue dress. brown top coat
white aviator cap and was carrying
small suit case She is l6 years of
age. Just why she left her home is a
mystery to her father and he can ac-
count for it only by the fact that at
times the girls mind wanders. which
condition has resulted from a severe
attack Of typhoid fever some eight
months ago
Apparently the girl left I'll Reno on
foot, for she was without money, and
between El Reno and Chickasha she
has been seen several times. At Union
city she called at hotel and asked
for work The landady informed her
that she had nothing to offer but vol
unteered TO keep her at the hotel until
such time as she could find work This
the girl refused to agree to, saying
that she must have work Immediately.
She was given her supper, after which
she left Farther south, near Minco.
several places at which she calico for
work were found and the positive trail
ends this side Of Minco, where she was
seen crossing a bridge
Investigations show that a few days
ago a girl answering her description
called at local hotel and asked for
work, but not obtaining it, left immedi-
ately and did not return. That is the
last trace Of the girl, or anyone that
would answer to her description, has
been seen.
The girls one ambition, as ascertain
ed by following what Of her trail that
has been found is to obtain work. She
is well educated The Chickasha po-
lice are working on the case. and
should be notified OF any information
that might lead to the discovery of the
girls present whereabouts.
