 DANGEROUS MANIAC LOOSE
                 ______

 NATIVE OF WORKINGTON

   Stated to be a native of Workington, Irving PARKER,  a dangerous maniac,
has escaped from the Menston Mental Institution, near   Ilkley, and an
extensive search has been commenced by the West Riding and  Bradford City Police.

   The roads leading to the Institution are usually  busy with motor and
pedestrian traffic, and as the man disappeared suddenly and  all efforts to find
him have up to the time of writing, failed, it is suggested  that he avoided
the roads and is wandering about somewhere on the lonely moors.  He is
described as being a dangerous maniac, and much concern is felt by the  asylum
authorities, as he may do some harm while he is at large.

   When he escaped he was wearing a dark tweed suit  and a pair of light
slippers with buckles. He is described as being 5ft 9 in. in  height, with very
dark hair. He is 29 years of age.
