! "Where is little Marion Moshero"
was the question which was on every
body's lips Monday afternoon and
evening as it became known about the
city that Miss Marion r. Mosher,
aged Is years. the second daughter
Yof Rev. and Mrs. Charles e. Mosher
of Grove street, was missing and had
| not been seen since the early hours
of the daily session of Cony High
| school. where she is Il student. being
a member of the Junior class. The
question Was not answered at the time
and has not been answered yet, for
while a thorough search was made af-
ter the fact became known that the
| young girl was missing, the search
was without results and her present
whereabouts are as unknown as if
she had dropped out of existence.
The Last Seen of Her
| The last that was seen of Marion
by members of the family was when
she started for school Monday morn
| ing. in good health and apparently in
her usual happy frame of mind. At
the suggestion of her father she wore
her raincUat and also took with her
a single car ticket in order that she
might ride home in case of rain. The
| first uncaSin2ss which was felt re-
garding the girl was when after the
close of the session of the High school
at o'clock in the afternoon she did
not return to her home. but that feel
| ing was not serious.
AS time went on, however, and she
| did not come the family became
alarmed and hurried telephone mes
sages were sent to some of the teach
erS of the High school, inquiring if
Marion had been at school in the
morning. but while it was learned that
she had, no one was able TO say tnat
she had been seen there after $50 In
the morning Some of the other girls
of the school with whom Marion was
more or less friendly were questloneu'
! but they could give no information
! that would be of value. The school
h,,ildins was also searched from the
| basement to the top floor but without
results.
{ Following the above endeavors to get
| some trace of the missing girl, the fam
| ilv now thoroughly alarmed. placed
the matter in the hands of the police,
and CITY Marshal Harwood instituted
a search. but as it was at that time
| late in the afternoon and darkness was
| at hand but little could be accom-
! plished. The search will, however, be
! continued this morning and every
place will be visited where it is thought
possible that the girl might have gone.
! No possible reason can be given for
Marions disappearance or why she
should have left her home. She was
doing we'll in her studies and was get
! ting good rank, and was apparently
| happy. She had had no trouble of any
kind with her teachers and her school
relations We're. so far as was known,
very agreeable Her home relations
were also happy.
Marion is an attractive girl. She is
rather below the medium height, of
stocky build and has dark brown hair,
| dark brown eyes and fair complexion.
/ Monday morning she wore red dress.
black nose, common high shoes and
rubbers. a brown raincoat and brown
Tam O'Shanter cap.
| Marion is the second of four children.
the others being Mildred, aged about
y wears: Muriel. aged II years. and
Francis. aged about 10 years.
Mr.. and Mrs Mosher have the SYM
pathy of everyone in the city in the
| disanpearance Of their daughter, and
all viii unite in the hope that she may
be safely returned to them.
