An Unfortunate Woman.
On the evening OF March l. an cid.
erly lady giving her name rs Lizzie
Miller. was put off the east.bound
train at Dickinson. Her mind was
not clear and the matter of getting
information was a little difficult. 1t
seems that she left her home in
Pennsylvania some weeks ago to Wis.
it her niece living in the Red River
Valley. presumably near jamestown
she could not tell for a certainty
with $3.50 for expenses. Through
somebody's ,blunder, purposely per.
haps, she was taken to Portland, Ore.
gon; thence she was sent toward
North Dakota. At Butte she ran out
of money, and somewhere in Monta.
ma she fell, hurting herself considera-
bly,, and losing her letter of instruc-
tions. At Dickinson members of the
Knights of Pythias. who were rea.
sonably satisfied that the woman's
son is a leading member of the order,
took matters up and sent her on to
Bismarck. The jamestown papers
speak of her arrival and say that
diligent search is being made for the
niece.
The PRESS has learned quite a bit
of interesting history connected with
the career of Mrs. Miller. She was
born in Lancaster, Pa, April, 1873;
and after her marriage moved to
Cumberland county, between Harris
burg and Gettysburg. At the great
battle fought there July l, 2 and 8,
1853, her house was used as a hospi-
tai. There ex.Gov. Beaver of Pennsyl.
vania had his left leg amputated;
Nj. Fairchild of the same state lost
an arm there; Col. Bowen of Cold.
water, Michigan and Col. Linsley of
Toledo. Ohio each lost an arm. For
notification of these facts Mrs. Miller
gave the following addresses: Elk.
Gov. Beaver, box 20S, Harrisburg.
Pa, and W. c. Hammel. box 39S,
Harrisburg, Pa.
