is ALMOST STARVED.
Runs Away From Sterling
Bound For Newton.
Girl Is Pretty and Tells Mys-
teriOus Story.

Newton, Jau. 7.-Graca Burns, good
looking girl of 16, who claims she has
an aunt living in Newton, was found
almost frozen near Burton yesterday
morning. There is at present a deep
mystery surrounding her which the
officers are trying to unravel. The
story she tells is strange, and it might
be said improbable.
The story that has been drawn from
her lips at conscious moments is as
follows: She had been living three
miles north of Sterling with a grand
father the father of her stepfather.
She had left there on last Friday after
noon to come to this city, where, as she
had been informed, her aunt, Bertha
Davis, lives. She came through Hutch
inson and in some way, which she does
not explain, she lost her money and her
extra clothing and walked from Hutch
inson to Burton. 1t was Saturday
evening when she passed Burton and
at dark she creDt into nay stack
about a half mile east of that town,
where she stayed Saturday night, Sun
day and Sunday night.
On Monday morning before daybreak
she staggered to the house of r. NJ.
Rowlands and aroused the family They
took her in and found that her feet
were badly frozen, and she was almost
unconscious from cold. Since then she
has been in a stupor and the above
story has been drawn from her with
the greatest difficulty.
Mr.. Jacobs, the trustee of Burton
township, came to Newton today and
with Sheriff Judkins' assistance made a
search fer the aunt mentioned by the
frozen girl as Bertha Davis of Newton.
It was learned that a young woman
by that name lived in the county, but
when found she knew nothing of the
girl and was clearly not related in any
way to her.
1t seems evident that either the girls
mind is affected or she is trying to de-
ceiVe people regarding her identity. She
has the appearance of being a girl who
has been well raised and her hands are
soft and white and show that she has
not been accustomed to hard work.
This evening the sheriff learned that
there had been another Bertha Davis,
who had received mail at the Newton
postohice, and they Immediately set
out to hunt for her.
