BODIES OF MISSING PENNEYS
MAY BE FOUND
AS RESULT OF A DREAM

In her dreams the young woman has
visited the place where her uncle and cOU-
sin are buried. the vision representing
that the missing men were murdered and
their bodies deposited in a gulch on the
edge of the Wah Wan desert. The same
vision has appeared TO ~ on four sepa-
rate occasions and each time the graves
were revealed in the same identical place
So strong were these Impressions. and
50 much credence is placed in the almost
supernatural powers of the young woman
that the inhabitants of Kanosh have or
ganiZed an expedition Of fourteen men
who have gone forth with wagons, ra-
lions and other supplies sufficient to last
q month. They VIII cross the desert in
search of the place, and the young woman
VIII accompany the expedition in order
to direct its movements. So minute in
every detail was the description given by
Miss Penney that the neighbOrs firmly
believe they Will succeed in finding the
bodies
A great deal Of interest and confidence
is manifested in this search by those
most cOnversant with the facts. as this
girl has at nine different times predicted
events which were afterwards verified
Mrs. Penney has also received a letter
from a young woman of Kanosh describ-
ing the place where her husband was
buried, and another from Park City Of
like import.

The experiments and tests made last

that purpose, and therefore no fear
need be entertained in that direction.

IOWA STATE NEWS
VERY ROMANTIC.
Service Employc Brought To-
Eethcr by an Egg.

In the summer months large forces
of girls are employed in Fort Dodge
handling eggs taken from picking
watts to be prepared for shipment. One
of the girls last summer selected d
large, smooth egg, and in moment of
day dreaming wrote her name and adj
dress upon it with an indelible pencil.
1t was placed in case with 277 others
and found it's way to Cuba. Months
passed and the young woman forgot
the incident, until she received letter
from Charles Percy Smith, in the sig
nal service, dated at Guines, Cuba, jan
uary 10, reading:
Miss Lizzie Gilday: 1 am sure you had
no idea into whose hands and to what dis
tant lands the egg upon which you wrote
your name would go. 1t came with large
shipment from the United States, and
was purchased by Cuban merchant here,
who, being unable to read English,
brought 1t to me for translation. 1 would
be glad to have you answer this letter,
as l am curious to know the one who
adopted so novel a method of correspond
ence. have a camera, and have had a
snap shot taken of myself with the egg
in my hand. If you care for one of the
pictures let me hear from YOU"
This letter was promptly answered,
with request for the picture, which
arrived in due time with another letter,
in which Mr.. Smith gave a more de-
tailed account of himself.
Needless to say this letter was an
swered as promptly as the first. Let
ters followed fast, but the communica-
lions were of such nature that the
public is not entitled to their con-
tents. Suffice to relate.th results have
been SO satisfactory that Mr.. Smith
will soon secure leave of absence, and
his vacation will be spent in Iowa
When he returns it is not unlikely that
an American girl will go with him.

that it is not an easy matter to send
