EAST ROAD MYSTERY.
A FARM HAND MiSSiNO.
WHAT HAS BECOME OF LYFORD?
A case presenting some mysterious aspects is now being investigated by the local police. It deals with the disappearance of Edward Lyford, aged about twentynine, who has not been seen or heard of since early on the evening of Thursday. He works for his uncle, Mr T. Lyford, of East Road, and between seven and eight o'clock on Thursday evening he left the house to go to his whare. That was the last seen of him.
At live o'clock on Friday morning one of the family went to waken him, but it was found that he was not in the whare and that his bed had not been slept in. Further, a pool of
blood was found on the floor of the room, and, search being made round the homestead, more blood was found near a disused outhouse. But nowhere could be found anything to indicate what had happened to Lyford or what had become of him. Constable 'MeCowan proceeded to the spot yesterday afternoon and searched until dark without avail, and he and Sergeant McXeely set out at six o'clock this morning to continue the search.
