Chicago, Oct. 13—Margaret Davis, 14, one of three missing Chicago high school girls for whom a wide search has been made since last Monday, was found last night, masquerading as a boy under the name of “Dick” Davis and working as a chore hand on the farm of Fred Backhaus near Roselie, 23 miles west of Chicago.
With a corn cob pipe and a package of cigarettes still in her overalls, “Dick” awaited the arrival of her parents, frantic four days with their theory of murder, kidnapping or romance.
Detectives searched rooming house districts for Ivy Reeves and Frances Reilly, believed to have run away in search of careers.
