 Lois Lane, reporter for the Metropolis Daily Planet, flew to the scene. The next day, a telegram signed, a friend, urging editor White to order Lois home, sent Clark Kent as Superman streaking 2,000 miles to Freeville, where he discovered that Lois had disappeared. Old Abner Sykes, the local telegrapher, admitted sending the telegram, but refused to say any more. He denied knowing what had happened to the girl reporter.
