S. A. FLETCHER
STARTS SEARCH
FOR DAUGHTER
Girl Clips Hair, Dons Overalls
and Disappears From
Summer Home.
BELIEVES 1T is PRANK

All possible agencies for the location
of missing persons were invoked today
by Stoughton A. Fletcher, indianapolis
capitalist. to find his daughter, Louisa,
II. who has disappeared from the
Fletcher summer home near Gloucester,
Mass, after clipping her hair and dom
ming overslls.
Mr.. Fletcher expresses the hope that
the girls disappearance is a part of
prank in which number Of her young
friends have participated, but in the
absence of any authentic information
as 10 her whereabouts every possible step
to find her is being made to eliminate,
if possible, any theory of misfortune.
Mrs. Fletcher has gone east to par
ticipate in the search, police depart
ments in all eastern cities have been
requested to search for the girl and
coast shipping Off Gloucester has been
notified by wireless to look out for a
boat on the theory that the girl drifted
out to sea in a skif.
AT SUMMER HOME
WITH GOvERNESS.
Miss Fletcher left the summer home
near Gloucester where she has been
staying with a governess. and was seen
by a fisherman near Rocky Neck. more
than a mile from her home. where she
stopped to don overalls and clip on
treshes which have been the pride Of
herself and her family.
The fisherman said after she had cut
her hair she shouldered a pair Of oars
and walked in the direction Of Rocky
Neck where she was seen later, but
from which place her movements have
not been traced
Mr.. Fletcher said the girl and her
mother had been spending the summer
a the Gillette cottage at Grapevine Cove,
from which place Mrs. Fletcher recently
returned to Indianapolis.
Miss Fletcher planned to remain there
until late in the fall when she expected
to enter art school at New York.
THINKS 1T MIGHT
BE SOME PRANK.
During the stay ~ the cottage the
girl and a number Of others OF her age
bad been spending the time in outdoor
sports, and for this reason Mr.. Fletcher
was OF the opinion that her disappear
ance was a part OF some prank cor
eocted By the coterie OF young people
who had been together all summer.
when her hair and the clothing she
had discarded were identified, local au.
thorities started a search for her that
extended even TO the dragging Of shat
low waters in the vicinity on the theory
that she might have met with an acct
dent
Efforts to learn of lark" planned by
the young people IN the vicinity proved
fruitless and finally a general alarm was
sent out to all authorities Ia the east.
indianapolis authorities were asked TO
look out for her In the belief that she
might return to Indianapolis.
Mr. Fletcher says her love Of "out-
doors" and athletic inclinations made It
unlikely that she would find difficulty In
taking care Of herself alone aud the
anxiety Of her parents is due principally
to the possibilities Of her having met with
an accident which prevented her from
communicating with them.

far out on limb and amused himself
by tossing twigs at passing motorists
while plans were made to bring him
down.
A net was thrown across the street
to break the fall and the rescuers at

of the 'monkey-man." Suddenly he
screamed shrilly, threw both hands in
to the air and leaped.
Burns was safely caught in the net
and was not injured by the fall Of

and loaded into the ambulance and
was returned to his cell in the county
hospital.

Denver, Colo.-Fred Burns, an es-
capped patient of the insane ward at
the county hospital, gave residents in
the neighborhood of Third avenue and
Acoma street ample proof that it is
quite practical to emulate the tree
climbing proclivities of the inhabitants
OF jungle land.
Burns was discovered shortly before
eight o'clock in the morning perched
In the topmost branches of tall tree
by Arthur G. Seavers, in front of
Seavers' home at 345 Acoma street. He
was chattering to himself and appar-
emily deriving much pleasure out of an
impromptu toilet.

Apparently Burns had spent the

been pressed into service in lieu Of a

sistants were dispatched to the scene
Their efforts for over an hour to coax
the deluded man down from his dizzy
perch proved futile. They were joined
by hook and ladder company of the
fire department. An ambulance was
summoned from the hospital.
Fear that any attempt to forcibly
bring the man from the tree might
cause him to become violent caused
the housewives of the neighborhood to
be pressed into service. Armed with
cups of steaming coffee, griddle cakes,
candy, fruit and other tempting food
stuffs they implored Burns to join
them in breakfast.
