TRACKS OF MARIE
KEPT FROM VIEW
Missing Maiden Had Written
II Some Letters "Panning"
Pine City

Miss Helen Marie Francis, miss
ing for a week following q visit
! with relatives and friends at Vernon
of the quiet life of Pine City and
that she and perhaps girl friend
are safe and sound in some town
where they have secured employ
ment. This is the belief of Sheriff
Edward Ario after reading a Ium
Der of letters Helen wrote to girl
friends previous to her disappear
ance. In these letters she express
ed her dissatisfaction with the gen
eral atmosphere of Pine City, and
expressed a wish that she could live
some place else, it is alleged. She
hoped that her parents would move
away from Pine City.
Sheriff Ario has learned the name
of the woman who has been writ
ing letters to the w. G. T. u. trying
to get people interested in the well
fare of persons confined in hospitals
for the insane.
Sheriff Ario talked direct to this
woman yesterday afternoon. She
stated that she had never met the
Francis girl. The reason for send
ing out letters to the w. c. T. u. of
Winona, Mankato and Vernon Cen
ter was SIMPLY to get people interest
ed in the welfare Of insane patients
in state hospitals. This would ap-
pear, to break down the theory that
the missing girl was in the hands of
some insane person. The woman
sending the letters is resident of
Minnesota. This woman claims to
be friend of Myrtle Des Months.
The Free Press yesterday pub
lished the introdution to the article
describing, the alleged treatment Of
Myrtel Des Months in western in
sane hospital. -...
Trainmen in charge of the train
on which Miss Francis left last
Saturday morning state that she left
the train at St. Paul in company
with a plainly dressed women.
More Letters Received
Minneapolis police received one Of
the letters mentioned. This letter
was postmarked at Belle Plane,
which would indicate that the sen
der of the epistils is going about
from place to place.
Mrs. Hugh Francis, mother of
Helen was at one time president OF
the w. c. T. u: of Vernon Center.
She is in receipt of one of the lett
ers referred to at her home in Pine
City.
A telegram to The Free Press
from Gig Harbor, Wash, states that
Myrtle Des Months, the woman re-
ferred to in the letters of the mys-
terious writer as being ill-treated
in a western hospital for the insane
is now a liberty and is engaged in
berry picking at Ollalla, Wash.
The telegram reads as follows:

HUGE SNAKE ESCAPED FROM ITS
BOX; CAUSED SOME STIR; PUT BACK

How would you like to encounter
at night boa constructor, twelve
and one half feet long, weighing 100
pounds? A Mankato woman was
driving an auto along on the main
road just outside Of the fair grounds
last evening, the big snake ran
across the road in front Of her car.
She turned the lights on il, and
when she saw 1t was a snake she be-
gan to scream. The attendants at the
Zeigler Carnival company heard the
cry and ran to her assistance. The
wriggling thing on the ground was
found to be one of the big snakes
which are with the carnival COM
pany and which had escaped from
It's box. The attendant ran back and
brought other members OF the com
pany who had just retired for the
night, 10 assist in the search. A
negro boy ran to one Of the local
hotel to get the manager of the show.
He hurriedly called a taxi and got
out there in the quickest possible
time. The snake had been located,
but 1t took some time to get a
blanket over its head, which is the
only way 1t could be captured with
out being shot. After Mr.. Zeigler
had succeeded in doing this he plac-
ed 1t in a large basket and carried
1t to its box in the tent.
1T Is the first time 1t has ever
escaped" said Mr.. Zeigler, this NOR
ming, at did not break it's lock, as
We thought. There are two locks on
the box. and 1t is supposed that one
Of them had not been locked by ac-
cident, as the snake pressed open
the end of the box, which had not
been caught by the lock.
THE woman who handles the
snakes was stopping at a roomino
house down town, and We did not
know just where to, locate her, ets
there would have been no excitment
In the capturing. She would just
call the snake by name.

Lake Shetek In Danger, Fish May
Perish For Low Stage
Slayton, MINI, September l.
About one hundred persons met
here Friday to discuss plans for the
preservation Of Lake Shetek, in this
county, James r. Gould. state game
and fish commissioner, was present
and also persons who own land ad-
jacent to the lake, and whoe pro-
perty would be affected by raising
the water level
With the destruction of the old
mill at Currie a few years ago and
the removal Of the upper dam at
about the same time, the level of
the lake was lowered several feet
and the howage rights held by the
mill company passed into the hands
Of adjoining land owners. The wa
ter has gradually receded until it is
six or eight feet below the high wa
ter level when the old dam existed.
The fish in the lake are in danger
OF perishing because of the low wa
ter and with the gradual receding of
the water the beauty of the lake is
affected seriously.
No agreement was reached at the
meeting but committees were ap
pointed and the matter will be con-
sidered at some future time.

Chicago, September 3.-An intelli

who drives a motor car is posi-
bility within the next two or three
years.
Representatives of thirteen middle
western states are TO be invited to
attend the Conference of Motor We
hicle Administrators representing
state automobile licensing bureaus,
10 be held here early in September.
at which plans will be made for
working out safety first laws for
automobilists and pedestrians. The
movement is being fostered by the
National Safety Council. The con-
yention is to be called by Fred NJ.
RoSseland, chief Of the public safety
division OF the National Safety
Council.
Must Examine Driver
The man who drives a car for
somebody else must pass an exam
nation" said Walter W. Miller. chief
clerk Of the automobile division OF
the Illinois Department Of State.
But anybody can drive an automo-
bile II he owns II, whether he has
ordinary horse sense or not.
The accidents do not happen to
licensed chauffeurs. They happen to
the unshlled drivers. The conference
will make plans for uniform lays to
govern the licensing of automobile
operators to see II they are suffi-
tciently competent mentally to
handle a motor driven vehicle. Some
form OF Intelligence test is likely to
be devised"
Many States Invited
Representatives Of the state de.
partments Of Illinois. Indiana. Ohio,
Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota,
Iowa, Missouri, Kentucky, Kansas.
Nebraska and North and South Da-
kota will be invited. 1t Is hoped to
have the conference Just prior to
the meeting of secretaries OF state
at Asheville, n. c., September 13, IA,
Is. -.
There Is a real need, according to
the officials sponsoring the confer
ence, for uniform laws Of driving to
lessen the death rate. One way sug-
gested Is to prevent a man who
never has handled q car before from
buying a machine and promptly set
ting forth as II he were an ex-
perienced driver This prevalent
custom could be prevented, they
say, by forcing the dealer by law
TO see that everybody to whom he
sells car. is thoroughly instructed
before he is permitted to operate II
on the public highways.
