Schoolgirl Finds Man
Missing Eleven Weeks

York, Pa, Oct. 81. - Miss Vernica
Schaale, a schoolgirl, in passing Frank
Ruth's barn near Admire, York coun-
ty, encountered John Spangler, of
Admire, who has been missing eleven
weeks. He was too weak to walk
home and objected to returning. He
is emaciated and ill and apparently
has subsisted on fruit only.
Spangler is subject to spells of
melancholy and it is supposed that
during one of these he wandered away
from home and remained in the barn
ever since, hiding among the hay. The
barn had been searched several weeks
ago.
