Oxford County Notes.

A warrant has been issued for one
George Poland of Oxford, in connectio y
with the disappearance Of girl, Miss
Maud Geyer, of Mechanic Falls, aged II
years. The parents of the girl, Mr.. and
Mrs. Walter s. Geyer, have information
which leads them to believe that Poland
accompanied the girl to Sherbrooke,
Canada. Poland worked on the new
bridge at Mechanic Falls last winter and
it was at this time that Miss Geyer be-
came acquainted with him. In May
Miss Geyer went to Berlin, N. a., to
work, and about the same time Poland
went there to work. Several letters
were exchanged between daughter and
parents after this but the last three
written by the parents were returned I'M
claimed. Mr.. Geyer then went to Berlin
and found his daughter had left that
city accompanied by man. They were
traced to North Stratford where they
bought tickets for Sherbrooke. Another
couple accompanied them. Poland has
a wife and child in Oxford.
