Miss Morgan, who had been suspended from school for one day because of dis-| obeying the rules, left the schoolhouse with two books under her arm and has | not been seen since. The next morning | her school books were found on the river bank and her cape on the bridge one mile west of town. Both were perfectly dry, although rain had fallen during the fore part of the night.
