of Gen. Flint, commanding ut Ft. Sand
ers, has for nearly six years been entire
ly speechless, her voice having deserted
her in moment and without apparent
cause. A short time since the young
lady with Il number of post people start
ell out on n camping tour through Colo
RADIO, and while at Denver the miracrl-
lous part of the whole matter occurred,
the power to articulate returning TO
Miss Flint rs suddenly as it went away.
None but those who have experienced a
similar misfortune for SO long a time,
can ever know what wonderful Sensa-
ton it must have created in the Generals
family when on Saturday the daughter
returned to her home, and for the first
time in six years spoke the name of those
who had almost lost all hope that they
would ever hear her voice again. The
many friends of the family will unite
with them in rejoicing over the happy
occurrence Times.
