Christ Cover, 19 years old, of Mt.

Saturday, deserting his 17-year-old
bride of three months, and up to the
present time no trace of his wherea-
bouts is to be had. Mr. and Mrs. Co-
i ver have been living in Mount Joy
since their marriage.
Mr. Cover, who was employed in
Elizabethtown, working on the
bridge being erected by the P. R. R.,
left home early Saturday morning,
presumably to go to work. He told
his wife that he would return at
noon, but has not been heard of
since that time.
Mrs. Cover can give no reason for
his action as she says their married
life was a perfectly happy one. She
is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry
