Adolphus Senecal, living at 40 Center street, Holyoke, left home Thursday morning and had not been seen since by his family. His wife thinks that he has run away. He is a plasterer by trade, and has worked in this city. He quit wok Wednesday and went to Holyoke taking with him his kit of tools. He claimed to have left them in the railroad car, and told his wife Thursday morning that he was doing to the depot to inquire for them. He was seen at the station by Officer Davis, and had been drinking. Since that time no account of him has been received. He is 38 years old, five feet seen inches high and weighs 143 pounds. He is dark complexioned, has a heavy, dark mustache, and wore a dark sack coat and black derby hat
