TRAVELERS SAID TO DISAPPEAR. ESPECIALLY WOMEN AND CHILDREN. RECLUSIVE CAVE DWELLERS SUSPECTED

Travelers in the wild country west of Annesburg are nervous. Recently some have been warned to avoid the area entirely. Authorities are still seeking information in the disappearance of Agnes Henshaw and her two sons last month. Their wagon was found looted and there was evidence of a struggle. Rumors persist that Roanoke Ridge has been taken over by criminals who live in caves like primitive peoples, only emerging to rob and kidnap travelers.

Those that have escaped their clutches say they have seen evidence and examples of cannibalism, and that the Murfree Brood, as they are called, are said to subsist on huckleberries and the flesh of young women and children. Others say these are the fantasies and fairy tales of people too often consumed with pulp novels and that the criminal element in the area are like any other ne'er-do-wells. Regardless, locals will not travel to the cave regions any longer, and commerce has suffered as a result.
