Gated Today.

Mrs. Frank Albright wife of the
proprietor Of the Star Dairy, was drown
ed in Sun river sometime Thursday night
when her automobile plunged from the
bridge embankment into the river. Her
body was found in shallow water only
few feet from the car. Now the
mysterious disappearance of Mrs AL
bright,s sister. Mrs, Carl Dreyer of
Dutton, who boarded the train at that
place Thursday evening to come to Great
Falls. to obtain medical treatment for
an infected finger, and who so far as
can be learned has not been seen since,
gives rise to the fear by the authorities
that Mrs. Albright had met her sister
in the city and that there were two
drowned in the Sun river, instead of
one.
Carl Dreyer, Mrs. Dreyer's husband
employed at the Club cafeteria has been
searching everywhere for his wife since
Friday morning and unless she has been
located by this Saturday. morning, will
begin dragging the Sun river near the
scene of the accident in an effort to
find her body. Mrs DItyer had been
living on the Dreyer ranch three miles
from Dutton, while her husband worked
in the city.
1t is thought that Mrs. Albright and
Mrs. Dreyer may have met in the city
and that the sisters had started for
the Albright place when the accident
occurred. Inquiry at the doctors offices
and hospitals where Mrs Dreyer might
have gone. 70 have her finger treated

at that station. but that one did leave
the train at Cargil, five miles south
of Dutton. Mrs. Dreyer is 81 years of
age She was a frequent visitor to the
city and well known here, but so far
none has been found who saw her
