her. Just as she was budding INFO
Womanhood cloud came to darken her
life. Her troubles weighed so heavily
upon her that for a long time she would
not--rOuld not leave her house. She
used to receive her friends stretched
on couch or leaning back in an invalid
chair Ana her friends were many.
She was quoted as an example of
Christian courage. She referred to her
condition as her cross" and everyone
thought how brave and good she was II

WHAT MEANS 1nIs7
Female Attire Found in a CuIvert al Myrtle
and Willow Streets.

Albert Gay, mail carrier who resides
low street, Thursday morning. on his
way to the postoftice noticed, as he
passed the culvcrt at the intersection Of
Myrtle and Willow streets. a bundle of
clothes in the culvert. Mr. GRAY went to
the police station and notified Night
Waterman William a. Ward, who sent
ion them and gave them to CITY Marshal
Morse
The articles of apparel were neatly fold
ed with a skirt around the Inside. The
bundle contained a black aad yellow
straw hat with black lace and yellow
and white flower trimmings. a wrapper
which was formerly white and pink, suit
able for a girl about IA years old. a black
jockey waist with black braid trimmings,
"A white waist with what Judge Andrews
calls angels wings with floral decoration
ON the sleeves and the skirt which was
wrapped around the outside Tn. skirt
had seen better days and had once been
very handsome. 1t was a light gray bro
cade but was badly worn and had lars>
burn in front
The meaning of this bundle is not easy
to find out The marshal and officials are
inclined to put poetic view on it and
think some young girl had placed the
bundle there preparatory to running
away, but something had delayed her so
that she didn't get started before the
bundle was discovered. Another view is
that somebody stole them and fearing
detection dropped them there.
Marshal Morse would like anybody who
is Interested or recognizes the description.
especially the angel wings to call at his
office where the clothes are laid out for
