Going,

last Saturday Lulu Cluh, of
Pima, hired q horse and buggy at
Madsen's livery stables to take a
few hours drive. When evening
arrived and she did not return Mr.
Mudsen became somewhat uneasy,
but when she failed to return naxt
morning, he was fully convinced
that he was out horse and buggy.
Finally he learned who the lady
was and proceeded TO Thatcher
and notified W. Moody, her broth
erin-law, with whom she had been
stopping Returning to Stafford he
notified Deputy Sheriff Chus.
Norris who, accomp lnied by John
Madsen. started in pursuit of the
runaway They left Stafford Sun
day morning and soon found that
she had gone in the direction Of
Bowie They followed her up the
San Simon about l miles, but as
she had doubled on her track sew
eral times and had driven out in
to the prairie time or two al
most the entire day was spent be.
fore they found which way she had
gone. Finally the buggy track
lead them back to Il MeXican's
house near the Soiomonvile depot.
Fr m here she took the Cienega
road which she followed until
reaching the Clenega W Ell she
left the road again and wandered
aimleSsIy around for Il mile or
two, then she got onto the Grant
road, which she followed several
miles, but before reaching the pass
she left the road again, in the
middle Of the night, drove over
mesas, through deep washes, up
canyons and around dangerous
side hills, where it was almost i'm
possible to follow her H. the day
time
At 3 o'clock in the morning she
reached Neesc's ranch and wa cred
her horse. Mrs. Neese wanted
her remain there until daylight,
but she insisted that she must
reach Grant by that time. The
next time she was seen was near
Bonita. There she made another
excursion into the praire for about
10 miles, then took the road and
drove to l!ookers where she again
watercd the horse. She spent the
balance Of Sunday, Sunday night
and Monday wandering aimlessly
around. back and forth over the
prairie and on the road, avoiding
ranches and people as much as
possible and reached Wilcox Mon
day night. She drove around the
town and went to Il house about
half Il mile away where she was
granted pc mission to stay all
night and her horse was cared for
Alter supper she took walk
and the family waited for her un-
til about II O'Clock but she did re-
turn. Next morning she was
found on the porch asleep.
Messrs. Morris and Madsen fol
lowed the trail faithfully and
found her at the house above re-
ferred to Tuesday morning and
arrived home with here early We'd
nesday morning.
She had Travelled at least l5D
mile without stopping except to
water the horse twice and possibly
for few moments at one time to
feed it a little. She had nothing
to eat from saturday until Mon
day night and she had driven owe
and through places that were eX.
tremely dangerous.
When arrested she said she was
going to Tucson and then to Mexi.
co as her people wanted to send
her to the asylum. Sbo WAS taken
before Justice Sparks and he soon
discovered her mental condition
and turned her over to her rela-
tives.
Miss Cuffs mind became un-
balanced about two years ago and
finally she was sent to the asylum
from which institution sh~ was re-
! leased Us cured short time ago.
She eemed to be rational enough
when engaged in conversation, but
ber desire seems to be to go some
where all the time. One Of her
delusions is that she believes sev.
eral persons ia Solomonville are
determined TO poison her.
