Susquehanna - About 10 days ago a couple arrived here and secured board at a private house. The man was about 21 while the girl appeared to be younger. They gave the name of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Lester. Within a couple of days Lester secured work in the [railroad] shops but on the third day he met with an accident and had two fingers badly crushed. The next morning he told his wife he was going for a short walk and that was the last she saw of him. Yesterday a man, giving his name as Karl Peterson and residing at Penn Yan, made his appearance and inquired for a party by the name of Harry Lester. No one appeared to know the chap and Peterson told his story to several local people who helped in his hunt. It appears that the girl, known as Mrs. Lester, was Peterson’s sister who ran away with a chap named Harry Flynn. Flynn was a married man who left his wife and child in Rochester and took this girl from a candy store in Penn Yan. Two days after Flynn left Penn Yan his wife and child appeared. Peterson had a warrant for Flynn’s arrest charging him with skipping a board bill and stealing an overcoat, a gold watch and $30 from one of the boarders. When Flynn skipped he left the woman without any money except a little change. The girl wrote a friend telling of her condition and the letter was given to the girl’s parents. Peterson discovered his sister while on a walk and at first she tried to dodge him but when he caught up she broke down and began to cry and expressed a desire to go home, if her parents would take her back. They went home on the afternoon train. No report on the whereabouts of Harry Flynn.

Montrose - Patrick Quailey, of Forest Lake, drove into town to do some trading, hitching his horse near Earl J. Smith’s jewelry store. An hour later it was gone and there was not a trace to be had. Mr. Quailey first thought that the rope had become untied and that the horse had returned home, but a thorough search here and at Forest Lake revealed no trace of the missing rig. The horse was rather old and was hitched to an open buggy. That the horse has been stolen seems probable, although it was not a particularly valuable one. There were many people in town, some tough looking customers in the bunch, brought here by County court which was in session and it is conjectured that some one may have appropriated the rig. Any information will be gladly received by Mr. Quailey.
