LOST BABE IN THE WOODS.
One Hundred Men Scour Woods for
Missing Little Girl Near Maysvillc—
Probably Perished in Snow.
Maysville. Feb. 1. —One hun
dred men, who have been search-1
ing for almost a week for a
three-year-old girl who was lost
in the big snowstorm ten days
ago, started out again this morn
ing to resume their hunt.
They have practically no hope
of finding the little one, and only
for the sake of the mother, who
is hysterical from grief, are they j
keeping up their efforts.
The little child for whom this!
remarkable search is being made
is Annie Woods. All sorts of
theories are being advanced here
as to her probable fate. One
report has it that a band of
gypsies have kidnaped her.
Others believe she has been
seized by the wild animals which j
are seen occasionally in this sec-!
tion. There are still others who
think the little one fell in the
snow and perished.
Friends of the family are try
ing to convince Mrs. Woods that |
the child is still somewhere in
the forest and that she will be i
found by the volunteers who are
conducting the search.
WENT TO YARD WITH DOLLIES.
It was just a week ago last
Saturday that the child strayed
away from her home. During
the morning she went into the
rear yard to play with her dolls.
Then xhe heavy snowstorm came j
up. Mrs. Woods had stopped
her work occasionally to see that
the little one was all right, and
it was only fifteen minutes after
having peeped out of the window j
and seen Little Annie that she j
went to the back door to call i
the little girl into the house.
There was no sign of the child
in thg yard.
Mrs. Woods threw on a cloak
and bonnet and went out to
make a search. She went all
over the place, calling frantic
ally, but could get no response.
Next she went out into the
woods. There also her search
proved vain. Then she hastened
back to the house and summoned
her husband. By this time the
snow was falling at such a rate
that it was possible to see only a
few feet ahead in the storm.
Mr. and Mrs. Woods secured a
horse and buggy and scoured
about for miles around
home, but still no
child could be
