YOUNG GIRL MISSING.
ON EVE OF WEDDING. MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE. Miss via Wyatt. aged 20 years, was to have been married to a young Queenslander, Mr Harry Bay lists, at Armidale, New South "Wales, at seven o’clock on the evening of April 27. but, leaving the home of her prospective sister iu-la\v at six o’clock that morning she hired a. car and went to Werris Creek. She was located there by the police. As the girl had about £SO with her it was feared by the bridegroom that she had been attacked at Armidale. However, these fears proved groundless. When the girl ran away she carried only a handbag. The relatives can give no reason for her action except that she received a telegram from her aunt, saying: “Too young to marry; wait-.*’ The mother of the girl, accompanied by the disappointed bridegroom, caught the next train for Werris Creek, but failed to locate the girl. Mrs Whitton. sister of Air Bayliss, declares that the young couple were attached to each other, and that the girl was eagerly looking forward to the marriage. The trousseau was ready and the wedding breakfast prepared. The excuse the girl gave to her mother when she went out at such an unusual hour was that she was going to buy some hot pies.
