GIRLS MISSING
Mary Written, Is, and
Flora Mitchell, Is, Of
Limerick Disappe a r
from Home

Limerick Me, oct. The dsap-
town. Flora Mitchell, IL, and Mary
Written, H. has caused no end of ex
element. and has started the officers
of several counties on a still hunt to
locate them. They disappeared, leav-
ing not a single trace of their where
ahouts, and ms they gave no intima-
ton Al any time that they had planned
10 leave home the officers have no clues
20 work upon That they went as far
as WATERFORD is the belief of those who
have given their attention to locating
them Footprints Of two girls have
= been traced as far as WATERFORD and
At that point all trace is lost. 1t is
believed that they were met by an au
tomobie and spirited away.
The Mitchell girl Is considered one of
tthe most attractive girls in the village.
Of good form and an abundance of
flowing. fluffy red hair. The Written
girl IL also good looking and of more
than medium size for her age.
The girls were seen in the village
last evening and called at the postoffice
where they forwarded money orders to
"a mail order house. Both girls had
worked during the summer at the
wooden mill in the village and had saw
ell NJ a considerable sum of money
which they had given their parents to
care for them. The girls knew where
the money was kept and as soon as
they did not return II was certain that
,they had left the village. II was learned
on inspection that their money
amounting 10 something over $50, was
also missing
With So many accounts Of abduction
and NJ missing girls who have never
been located. the parents arc greatly
alarmed and every effort is being made
by the officers and police Of all nearby
towns ~ locate them.
Both girls arc we'll known in tho viii
.laee and have never heon connected
with any escapade before. Their par
ents arc hard working people and be-
cause of the attention that the girls
have given n their work. and the fact
that thew have always striven to do
their parents Kidding. their disap-
.pesrance Is shrouded In deep mystery.
