A strange coinCidenU occurred at
the home of n. B. Blanton the night
that their grandchild, Thelma,
daughter Of Mr.. and MIS-. Ed Julian
died. At about u o'clock Mr.. and
Mrs. BlantOn, who were sleeping in a
room off the parlor were awakened by
piano music and thinking some one
was in the parlOr playing, got up to
see who it was, but to their surprise
found the room dark and vacant. In
the house there was also a mantel
clock, the property Of Mrs. Fannie
Streeter, that had not run for ten
years. At 3 o'clock am. it struck
three and continued to run until one
minute past 6 o'clock am, when it
stopped. The strange thing about 1t
all is, that the sick child was with its
grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs. Flavius
Julian, in Hazelton, three miles from
the Blanton home. 1t begun dying
at o'clock and died exactly at one
minute past 6.-Kiowa Journal.
