there is not ready for me yet"
There is no telling where Mrs. Ma
ton will appear next in the role of a
saloon-slnasher. She says God has
told her to rest for a few days and that
as soon as he tells her where to go
and begin again she will start out.

the frequent statements that she is
insane on the question OF destroying
saloons. She declares too much COM
ment has been made on her remarks at
Hope yesterday when she declared the
hotel keeper had tried to murder her
during the night by blowing cigarette
smoke through the keyhole into her
room. She said that cigarette smoke

earth. Because of the prominence of the
boys parents and the very positive man
ner in which the stories were written, some
credence was placed In the strange power
of sight attributed to the young man, and
when II was stated that he was locating
underground streams Of water for cattle
men. without n single failure, Interest grew
in the matter. and there are now many
people who Will testify to the fact that
