MISSING GIRL FOUND;
MAN LEAVES PLACE
TACOMA, Sept. 19.—Scouring the
woods about the mining town of Car
bonado, the posse in search of Mamie
Torkko, the 10-year-old child who dis
appeared last Wednesday evening,
found her at noon today, bruised, mu
tilated and burned, 100 yards from
the road below the graveyard where
■ her father and brother are buried.
| The child was conscious but very
[ weak. This discovery was made by
! Crooked Joe Ginsky, and shortly be
! fore that a bag of peanuts and a pack
age of unopened crackerjaik, tossed
over a log at the side of the road,
found by John Johnson and Thomas
.Trirnm at 11:30 o'clock, led to the
discovery of the child.
] Her body had been pushed under a
i log in the deep brush and other logs
| piled over her in an evident attempt
to set fire to them. Her face was
swollen and black, her yellow hair
burned and bare arms and legs black
ened.
A shout from Ginsky brought a
posse of fifty men, headed by Sheriff
Longmiere and City Marshal June to
the spot. Boys relayed the call for a
doctor and Doctors Shaw and Bren
ton met the group on the way down
the road, the child being carried by
a sturdy miner. ,
When discovered the child weakly
opened her eyes and said *‘a man
pushed me over the log last night.”
Later she described a man who had
been in the employ of the mining com
! pany. This man was closely question
ed the second day of Mamie's dis
appearance by Town Marshal Charles
June, and when the sheriff was call
ed Friday the man dropped out of
sight completely.
After the finding of the girl to
day the posse of 300 miners, with
the sheriff and several deputies and
a number of horses began a systemat
ic search for the girl’s assailant.
The Alaska Road Commission crew
is camped two miles north of Beaver
Dam.
