One of them is said to have been Orval Shaw. To the other rumor gives the name of John Parks, fugitive from Peter boro jail, who, like Shaw, has been eagerly sought by police of a number of counties for a number of months. If one was Parks there is a pos- sibility that the other was the El- gin county girl he is alleged to have kidnapped. Parents of the girl have asked police to hunt for her since she is said to have van- ished in a motor car with the fug- itive some days ago. If she was one of the mysterious visitors, she was masquerading in men's clothes. Posse Searches in Vain A number of friends were spend- ing the evening with the high con- stable. As one was leaving he saw two strangers in the yard. He hurried back to tell Kirby and meanwhile the strangers disap- peared. Provincial Officer Beatty was called and with a posse of farmers scoured the neighborhood. It was not till this morning after the search had been abandon- ed that the high constable discov ered one of his cows had been milked dry. This is a favorite trick of Shaw's. The Kirby farm is on the Shake- gpeare road some 20 miles from the scene of the outlaw's activities in Waterloo county. Stratford police and authorities in all inter- vening towns were notified but no further trace of the two myster- ious visitors was found. "Daddy, teacher inquired after you today." Really?"
