All Alone Save for v His
Grandparents and'

Little one-year-old Thomas

employe of the Cole Fish Co., sud
denly took sick of pneumonia. He
died the same day. Tuesday the
same sickness called Mr. O'Don
nell's young wife and her little in
fant, to whom she had just given
birth, away from little Thomas. He
is now all alone in the world, save
for his grandparents and aunts,
With great plans for the future
the young couple pledged to share
their future life January 18, 1916
and in order to be able to save for a
rainy day and lay aside a little
money for little Thomas to give him
a, proper education when he was old
enough to attend school, they made
their home with Mrs. O'Donnell's
parents, Mr, and Mrs. John Hurth,
3002 Vinton street.
His grandparents and his aunts,
Mrs. Schapef and Miss Belle Hurth,
have taken it upon themselves to
even the path of little Thomas' life
and give him all the comforts which
his parents had planned for him and
which deafcti denied them.
The funeral will be held Friday

Fear That Soldier's Wife
Fell Victim to Foul Play
Mrs. Mabel Stevenson, St Joseph, Mo., on Visit Here Is
Missing Since Wednesday Night; Believed to Be
in Company of Soldiers.
The police have been asked to
assist in a search for Mrs. Mabel
Stevenson, 19, who disappeared
Tuesday from the home of her
sister, Mrs. Ethel Armstrong,
1712 Clark street, following the
mysterious visit of two strange
men wearing uniforms of soldiers.
It is feared the girl has met with
foul play.
Last Seen at 6 p. m.
She was seen last by members of
the household between 5 and 6
p. m. "I think I shall walk out
for a short while," she remarked
to her sister, and put on her coat
and hat. When she failed to re
turn at a late hour, the pjolice were
asked to assist in finding her. No
trace had been found of the miss
ing girl at noon today, though the
search, which lasted all night, was
not abandoned.
Met Men On Train.
Mrs. Stevenson arrived in Oma
ha Sunday from her home in St.
Joseph, Mo. She was accompanied
by her sister, Mrs. Armstrong.
Their husbands are in France,
and on the train they met two
men they thought were soldiers.
They took Mrs. Armstrong's ad
dress, saying they would call later.
When the two men appeared at
the house in the afternoon the
women were not at home. A
neighbor offered to take a mes
sage for them, thinking they were
friends of the women' husbands.
They refused to leave any word or
reveal their identity.
Whether or not the visit of the
two strange men is connected with
the disappearance of Mrs. Steven
son, members of the family are at
a loss to understand.
The missing girl is said to be
about five feet and seven inches in
height. She is very slender,
weighing in the neighborhood of
125 pounds. She has brown hair,
and wore a pink shirt waist, black
silk skirt,;, small black hat and a
.long black velvet coat, trimmed in
black fur.
