At about II 80 last night, rider from
the north brought the news that Miss
Bailey had been found near Nh. SAT-
ford's, seven or eight miles north Of the
city. A hack and q number of horse
men were at once dispatched TO bring
her home. This party met Mr.. AbEa-
ham with the young lady in . buggy.
The manner in which hEr. Abraham
found the young lady is about a. fol.
lows:
In the afternoon Mr.. Lansing Abrs-
ham was in town and read the account
of the missing lady in THE NEws,which
he took home and read to his wife. She
said that the young lady had been there
and had acted quite strangely and gone
away, taking = direction toward Mr..
RudisiIl's. MIR. Abraham Immediately
hitched to his buggy and started in
pursuit Of the young lady. At the same
time he sent his brother Horace to the
city to give the informationto her peo-
pie. Mr.. Abraham found her at Mrs
Safer's who lives about ten miles from
town, where she had stopped to spend the
night. When taken from the hack at
MFR Jacobs residence she was quite
restless for some time bot soon
became quiet. Nothing satisfactory
could be obtained from her by way Of
conversation as to her flight and the in
cldents connected with t. This
morning she became more rational and
ate q little, which was the first food
she had taken since Monday noon. She
also took q short sleep after which she
conversed some. She said she did not
know whore she was going and did not
remember OF going in the house after
leaving Mr.. Gilmore's Monday evening.
She told Mrs. Cleaver that during the
night she had a delightful walk
In the woods and was not
in the least frighted at anything. After
leaving Mr.. Abraham's residence yester-
day afternoon her reason seems to have
returned to some extent, and she became
frightened. Arriving at Mr.. Saffer's
residence she opened the door and walk.
ed IN without invitation. Here they
gave her drink and wanted TO- get her
something to eat. but she would not
permit it.
Strange as it may seem, Miss
Bailey did not meet any one
until she came to the bridge that spans
the Neosho. Here her path led her in
the presence of man whose name we
have been unable to learn, who was per-
haps as badly frightened for his own safe
ty as the friends of Miss Bailey were for
hers. After wandering all night and
part of the morning she rested in an or
chard under a fruit tree, where she fell
asleep.
This afternoon Mr.. w. Gage
called at The NEWS Office
and says that he saw the young lady
after she had left Mr.. Abraham's resi-
dence. She seemed to be greatly agi-
tated and inquired for q horse from
which she said she had been thrown,
and which she described as carrying q
saddle with her hat hanging to the horn.
She was prespirihg freely and seemed
very nervous. Mr.. Gage asked her
where she was when the horse threw
her. but she said she did
not know just where it
was or how it happened. She added,
however, that it was three houses back.
The facts are that just three houses
back, near the residence of Mr.. Rudisilll
was a loose horse with q saddle, and this
suggested the idea of representing her.
self as one who had been thrown from 8
horse, which idea she carried out mosi
admirably.
Miss Bailey was resting quietly at
O'Clock this evening and her reason il
rapidly returning. Desiring not to agi.
tate or excite her they have avoided
asking more questions than really seem
ed necessary.
The mystery is, however, clear
ed away, and the time for re
joicing come, Miss Bailey hav
ing been suddenly deranged in mint
started she knew not where, with the re
suits already known. Mrs. Jacobs say
that Miss Bailey has deceived her only
In keeping back the school trouble from
her. As it is, Miss Bailey is expected
to soon recover and be restored to heI
friends the same joYial young lady she
| formerly was.
