A HEROINE OF SANTIAGO,
Sarah j. Ennis is Coiored Trained Nurse

DANIEL eooME's QUEER DREAM.
II Led Him to the Finding of His Com

II Led Him to the Finding of His Com
panion's skeleton in n Hollow Tree.
At Ash Grove, in Green county,
No., lives an interesting descendant
of the famous Kentucky hunter, Daniel
Boone-Mrs. Nellie Boone Frazer,
one of the early settlers of that part
of the county. The Boones went to
Green county about fifty years ago
and formed settlement near the
present site of Ash Grove. When that
part of the county was organized into a
township it was named Boone in hon
or of one of the sons of the great ex-
plorer of the Kentucky wilderness.
Mrs. Frazer is now eighty-three years
old, but one OF the most vivacious of
the pioneer women of southwest Mis-
souri,
Mrs. Frazer says that her grand
father was a firm believer in dreams,
and tells singular circumstance in
connection with the hunters career
in Kentucky which led the pioneer
to attach more importance to the sug-
gestions that came to him in sleep.
In one of his explorations in the will
derness of Kentucky, Boone lost a
companion. They had separated one
day while hunting, and the man did
not return to the place selected in the
morning for their camp. The hunter
supposed at first that his associate
had pursued game too far for his re-
turn that night, or that the man had
got lost in the pothless forest. The
next morning Boone began to hunt
for the missing man and searched the
wood hour after hour without finding
any trace of his friend. Finally, com
ing to the conclusion that the man had
been killed by Indians or become the
prey of some wild beast, Boone left
that part of the country and went back
to the settlement. But he could never
entirely give up the thought of find
ing some trac, of the lost hunter. II
weighed NJ on his mind with strange
persistence.
Several years after the disappear.
ance of the hunter, Boone won't back
to the woods where he had parted
from his friend. One night while

briskly, guided by the impression tn,
sleeping vision had left.
He found the big hollow tree as h
had seen it in his sleep, and looking
: into the large cavity near the grount
discovered complete human skeleton
and an old, rusty Aintlock rifle. Tn

that the hunter always believed tina
