A SENSATION!
Two Dates and Two Remarkable Letters
That Connect Them.

Two letters from the same person have been re-
ceived by the Edwin JOY Company of this city that
are of so remarkable nature and that relate such
miraculous tale that the company for a while hesi-
tated to publish them lest doubt be created in the
minds of the public to their genuineness But on
this point they are prepared to satisfy the
increduous. The letters are from lady formerly
OF this city, but now residing IN Napa County. We
quote first from her letter Of March 9, 1889. She
writes:

letter was received, dated January l6. 1890, ten
months afterward that detailed most marvellous
yet delightful denouement She was still In the
mountains of Napa County, and writes:
