WOMEN MISSING IN AUTOMOBILE

Left Here for Elcho, in Northern Part of State Yesterday Afternoon

LAST SEEN AT NORTHLAND

Had Been Visiting at J.B. Lehman Home in This City

Start Search for Them Last Night

Had Expected to Be in Elcho By Supper Time

 

            About 2 o’clock Wednesday afternoon Mrs. Robert Lehman and her mother, Mrs. Zanaszak, left the J.B. Lehman home in this city for their home at Elcho, their intention being to reach Elcho shortly before supper time.  The two women were making the trip in a Dodge sedan.

            The women not having yet arrived at Elcho by the time darkness set in, Robert Lehman called Waupaca to find out if they had left.  After waiting several hours longer the husband at Elcho, and the relatives here started making telephone inquiries along the route in an attempt to locate them, but could find no trace of them in this way.

            Early this morning Robert Lehman left Elcho in an automobile while Donald Lehman and George Nordvi left this city.  They met at Wittenberg, without finding any trace of the missing women.

            Donald Lehman and Mr. Nordvi found out that they had been seen going through Northland, and that a crew of men working on the road had seen them between Northland and Galoway.  No further trace has been found of them up to this time.

            All police and sheriffs’ offices have been notified, and an extensive search is now going on for the women.

            They had no relatives along the route.  Mrs. Lehman is an expert car driver and when she left here was very anxious to get home before supper time, she having told her husband that she would b there before that hour.

            As to what may have happened to the women there is much conjecture, but it ishoped they will be located within the next few hours.
