Guy Brink, Bethel, Had Words With
Father, Left Home.

Bethel, Aug. l7.--Guy Brink, aged
10 years, has not been seen nor heard
from by his parents, nor so far as they
know by anyone else, since two weeks
ago last Sunday, when he had words
with his father over debt, and bought
ticket for Barre at the local Central
Vermont railway Office.
He had been employed at the farm
of Zenas G. Smith and was to have re-
turned that evening, but did not. AT
first only a little enxiety was felt
regarding him and it was thought he
simply had found new place TO work.
The Boston papers Tuesday carried q
story of the death by drowning of an
unknown man with a description an
swering that of the missing youth, ex
cept that the age was estimated as IS
years. Although old for his years. II
seems unlikely that Guys age could be
estimated at 80.
