POLICE TO SCOUR TWO CITIES FOR LOST GIRL

Father of Catherine Winters Institutes Search of Chicago and Indianapolis Schools.

A search of Indianapolis and Chicago schools and boarding houses is to be instituted for 9-year-old Catherine Winters, who disappeared from her home in Newcastle eight weeks ago, mention of which was made .in The Republican. Dr. W. A. father of the child, who has searched five states without finding a clew, stopped in Indianapolis on his way home from Chicago. At the suggestion of Cap tain of Detectives Halpin of Chicago, Dr. Winters called on Capt. Holtz of the Indianapolis detective department and asked that a search be made of schools, private and public, and boarding houses of Indianapolis. Capt. Holtz will enlist the aid of school teachers in the search. The search of Chicago schools was begun Thursday. “I don’t want revenge, I don’t want to prosecute any one for stealing my darling daughter, but I do want Catherine back,” Dr. Winters said. As he spoke tears welled in his eyes. “It was eight weeks ago today that Catherine disappeared and we haven’t been able to get a single tangible clew. We have set her place at the table each day since she went away with a jliopc that she would be with us the very next meal, but we have begun to despair of seeing her again. It would be a relief if we could learn her fate.” .... r _.—.—1 Dr. Winters is a dentist. He has given up his practice to devote his time to a search for the child and has practically exhausted his means in traveling. A fund of $625, raised on “tag day,” was recently provided by Newcaste citizens to help him.
