Summons For Help
Provides Mystery

A girl calling for help in the vi
cinity OF the old city dump was
reported 10 police at 1l:45 p. m.
Sunday night by a y. River st.
resident. Officers searched the
area thoroughly without finding a
trace OF anyone at or near the
dump at that time.
About a half hour after the girl
called for help, Charles Sprague,
night Waterman at the Central
Specially Company. 720 Norris St,
reported that a red haired youth,
about is or 20 years Of age, had
appeared on the company property
and that he exhibited deep gashes
on both his hand and leg. He was
going over to the first aid room
with Mr.. Sprague when, without
warning, he dashed away, crawled
under the fence gate and disappear
ed west on Forest Ave. Mr..
Sprague then promptly reported the
incidents to the police who made
thorough search OF the vicinity
without finding anyone answering
the description given by Mr..
Sprague. Police think the Incl
dent may have a connection with
the girls call for help.
Mr.. Sprague said that about four
hours previously he had seen a man
crawling around the hill in High
land Cemetery and had noticed a
coupe driving around the cemetery
several times and that he thought
these incidents may have had some
connection with the strange con.
duct OF the red haired youth.
