PARENTS FIND
ABANDONED CAR
Gertrude Litzenberger
Fails to Return from
Milk Station.
SUSPECT ELOPEMENT
Parents Believe Their 161Year-
Old Daughter Was Persuaded
to Elope with Youth.

What has become of pretty sixteen
year-old Gertrude Litzenberger, a
Powers Lake girl, who disappeared
Monday morning.
Did she elope with sutton, opposed
BY her parents, who is also strangely
missing and is she now on the way
with him to California?
These were the questions put to the
city and county police officers today
by. Mr.. and Mrs. Ben Litzenberger,
parents of the girl, when they appeal
ed for aid in launching a nationwide
search for their daughter. Immedi-
4ately. Chief of Police Thad Logan and
Sheriff Fred Pabst sent out kilograms
in efforts to locate the missing pair
but as yet no trace has been. found OF
either one of them.
Left to Take Milk.
Gertrude, who was described as a
schoolmiss with long curls, falling
below her shoulders, left her home
Monday morning driving an Overland
truck with which she regularly takes
the milk from the farm to the station
at. Bassetts. She delivered the milk
and left. for home, this being the last
that has been seen Of her by people
of that community.
When she failed to come home late
Monday morning, her parents started
a search for her. Late Monday even
4 ing the automobile truck which she
had driven was found abandoned at
the side of the road more than two
miles from Bassetts. Tracks showed
that the car had been driven into the
woods nearby and then out again.
Sutton Also Missing.
! Investigation also revealed that Earl
Harrow, 81, young man of that COM
munity who had shown marked atten-
tions to the girl and who had been
rebuffed by the girls parents, had
also disappeared. 1t was learned that
he had recently purchased a new Ov-
erland sedan and had inquired regard
ing routes to California.
The parents believe that he per-
suaded their daughter to elope with
him and that the couple is now en-
route to California. kilograms have
been sent out to apprehend them if
they are stopped anywhere along the
route.
Parents Of the Litzenberger girl
maintain that young Harrow had been
an unwelcome sutton at the home and
that he had been advised in a letter
from the district attorney to cease
paying attentions to Tho girl. The
gikl's youth was pointed out by the
parents as one of the reasons for their
objections.
Ask for Mans Arrest.
The parents of the girl are heart
broken over her disappearance and are
willing to forgive all and welcome her
back home if she can be located. They
insist, however, that if she is found
with HARROW that he be arrested and
have taken steps towards the secur-
ing of a warrant in this connection.
The girl being only sixteen, any mar
riage which might have taken place,
could easily become annulled.

Shanghal-1nelr ue1edCeu oAhA0S -
treating in confusion toward Shanghai,
General Lu Yung-Hsiany, military gov
ernor of Chekiang province, and ms
chief aide. General Ho Feng Ling, de-
tense commissioner of Shanghai, today
announced they had signed an armls-
tice with the invading ,Kiangsu forces
representing the central government
of China.
Generals Lu and Ho, who have led
the defensive forces fighting west and
south of Shanghai for the past six
weeks, today sought refuge in foreign
concessions while report was in clr-
culation here that they had been
bribed to betray their leaders.
Claimed Bribed to Betray.
While the Chekiang army was re-
treating towards the environs of Shang-
hal TODAY. every unit of foreign de-
tense forces in the city, including
United States marine and foreign war
ships, was being drawn upon along
the boundaries of the foreign settle
ment to put up defense against at
tempts on the part of Kiangsu troops
to enter the concession.
The confusion in military quarters
incident to the signing of the armistice
made it possible to weigh the benefits
to the central government forces to-
day. If the terms Of the armistice strip
the Chekiang military governor of his
mower. the result was victory for
the central government which will now
extend its jurisdiction to the district
surrounding Shanghai.

ton north of here where an impromptu
auction of clothing and equipment
was held. A number Of military motor
cars were knocked down to bidders for
ten dollars and upwards.
At the Lungwha arsenal, headquart-
ers of the Chekiang forces a small
group OF unarmed soldiers awaited the
arrival of Kiangsu and Fukien province

governor of Chekiang province, pre-
sided at the conference which resulted
in the decision to surrender and which
sent him to the international settle
ment here as refugee.
