We poditively Lena May Reeves Disappeared Not Been Seen Since Reeves ? a pretty young woman, formerly a resident of Sayre, but who for some months has been in the legal custody of the “Shelter” at Syracuse, N.Y. Miss Reeves came to Sayre on Monday last to attend her mother’s funeral which occurred at Athens on Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock. She was accompanied by a teacher from the “Shelter”. The teacher stopped at the Stimson house and Miss Reeves was allowed to go to her aunt's home where her mother's dead body lay awaiting bunal, Wednesday morning, just a few hours previous to the funeral, Miss Reeves disappeared and despite the fact that a diligent search has been made her whereabouts are at present unknown. The story back of Miss Reeves’ disappearance is a simple one. Ten years ago her father died, leaving her and a younger brother with no one but an invalid mother to care for them. The mother's condition grew worse instead of better and some months ago she appealed to a local clergyman for assistance regarding the future welfare of her children. The clergyman advised that they be sent to some institu- tion where they could secure edu- cations. Accordingly Mrs. Reeves legally bound the girl Lena May to the authorities of the “Shelter” at Syracuse, and the boy was sent to an institution for soldiers’ orphans. Previous to Mrs. Reeves’ death she pleaded that her daughter be al- lowed to attend the funeral The advice of the clergyman, who had used his influence in placing the girl in the “Shelter” was again sought, and he, somewhat against his better judgment, requested the authorities at the Shelter” to allow the girl to come home. Consent was given provided a teacher be allowed to accompany her. Ac- cordingly the girl was sent in com- pany with the teacher, and now the latter is wondering what has be- come of her charge. LEHIGH IPROVENENTS The Lehigh Valley will proba bly build an addition to its freight house at Ithaca in order to increase the facilities for handling freight at that place. Yesterday C. W. Kin- ney, division superintendent, and J. G. June, chief engineer, both of this place, were at Ithaca in con ference with W. G. Miller, freight agent in the latter city, and itis said that plans were made fora 60-foot structure to be built on the present freight quarters. Plans were also discussed for a 1000-foot siding to be used in conjunction with the new freight building Merchants have already secured an option on the land running along- side of the proposed siding and will erect warchouses in which to store goods and thus save the cartage. It is said that the addi- tion to the freight house and the track will be built by the first of the coming March as that month is one of the heaviest shipping months in the year. Freight traffic at Ithaca has increased twenty per cent during the past few months. 10 THE JUG An Italian whose name is not known, was arrested this afternoon by Officer Bob DcGroff at the Le- high station. The man was asleep in the men’s waiting room and when awakened by the officer, who told him that he could not sleep, proceeded to make a nuisance of himself—and landed in the jug. He will be charged with drunken- ness and disorderly conduct Jas. B. Mocker in “Grimes' Cel- "THER " Than the Pay-Master Could Hand it to Them a Riot is Narrowly Averted A gaag of four or five hundred Italians lined up at the Lehigh Valley pay station in this place yesterday afternoon to receive the money due them for services ren- dered the company. The majonty of the men had finished their labors with the company for the season and they were extremely anxious to get possession of their checks. In fact they evinced so much haste in the matter that at one time it looked as if a riot of no small pro- portions would result. Instead of taking their places in line and waiting until the paymaster could pay each man in his turn the ex- cited sons of Italy pushed and crowded each other in an effort to get to the window, and the officials in charge of the station lost all control of them. In order to settle the difficulty M. H. Sawtelle, cashier of the National Bank of Sayre, who was cashing checksgfor | the men, closed the window and | ceased to do business. When the| men discovered that by their own | acts there was no possibility of their getting their pay last might, then they were mad, and a call was sent tor the police to keep a watch upon them during the remainder of the day, PASSENGER WRECK NEAR GLEN ONOKD No. 10 Meets With An Accident Near That Place and Both Tracks Are Reported Blocked Lehigh passenger train No. 10, | which left Sayre last night drawn | by engine No. 2002, in charge of | Engineer W.

The milk train was reported two hours late, and the mail train which was/ attached to No. 157 did not reach Sayre today at all. It is said that the local Lehigh officials are unable to learn any thing concerning the wreck on account of the telegraph wires being down. ————— A, A RAILROAD RUNOR A rumor is current in local rail road circles to the effect that another change is to be made in | the Lehigh Valley time schedule. | The new time table it is said will go into effect on the first of Jan and it is also stated that trains!
