Mr. Williams says she has never

would rather not give the name, as
the woman had died a drunkard's
death.
Mr.. Williams said he told Daisy that
She was surely mistaken. but Daisy
was positive about the matter.
She also said: Il saw her. and

Such are the wonderful words that
Daisy said when she recovered con-
seriousness and they were repeated
again and again before several wit
nesses. She fingered along for

she would recover. but she died re-

The Strange, Weird Story of the Death

The Strange, Weird Story OF the Death
of Little Girl
A very strange and weird story
comes from San Jose. California A
Mrs. Williams residing there relates
the following about one of her children:
Daisy, my thirteen-year old daugh-
ter, died. She called US all to her
bedside, and one by one bid us all
goodbye, and then she fell back and
died. Neighbors came in and all pro-
nounced her dead She was cold as
ice, her eyes were CLASSY. her limbs
perfectly stiff, and the usual deathly
pallor covered her features. She
ceased to breathe and her pulse Quit
beating.
''She had been dead one-h half hour"
continued her mother, "when suddenly
she opened her eyes and looked about
the room smiling, and seeing her little
sister, she said: Maudie, l have
come back to stay little while.'"
Here the father took up the narra-
tive, cautioning your reporter. how
ever, to make 60 mistake, saying:
Il want you to give just the same
words she used. and you must not
change them. for l fear some great
calamity would happen to US if you
did"
She then turned over in bed con-

A NARROW ESCAPE.
George KEENAN, Got into Trouble But
Cutwitted the Russians.

SutWttGed the Russian
On the second day after our arrival
In krasnoyarsk we narrowly escaped
getting into what might have been
serious trouble as the result of an un-
expected perquisition in the house of
the acquaint ance with whom Sham arin
and Peterson were staying. This ac-
quaintance, it seemed was under sus-
picion. and late in the evening, during
the absence OF the two young men from
their quarters, the police suddenly ap-
peared with orders to make a house
search. The search was duly made.
but nothing of a suspicious nature was
found except the two locked trunks of
Shamarin and Peterson. In reply to a
question as to what was in them the
proprietor Of the house said that he
did not know, that they were the pro-
perty of two of his acquaintance who
had stopped for few days with him
On their way from Irkutsk to st.
Petersburg. Upon being asked where
these acquaintance were, he replied
that he did not know, that they usual
ly went out after dinner and returned
between eleven and twelve o'clock.
After a brief consultation the police
officers decided that as they had no
orders to search the personal baggage
of the house-owner's guests they would
not force the locks of the trunks, but
would merely cord and seal them so
that the contents could not be tam
pered with and leave them until morn
ing.
When Shamarin and Peterson return
ed to their quarters about midnight
they found their trunks corded and
sealed SO that they could not be OPEN

What was to be done? To break a
police seal under sucn circumstances
would be a penal ofense, and would
probably lead to imprisonment and an
Investigation. To leave the letters
and photograph in the trunk would be
to insure their discovery and confsca-
ton on the following morning and
that might create very embarrassing
situation for me, as well as for the
authors and their friends. The two
young men finally concluded to make
an attempt to get the trunk open with
out removing the cords Or breaking
the seals. and as the letters and ph o.

the lid could not be raised even if the
trunk were unlocked, they decided to
