comment in the Examiner, is in this
city.
She arrived Saturday and registered
at the Nevada House under the name
of Marguerite Brown and the next day
obtained employment in the family of

her from her guardians. Miss Grunig
has been nearly distracted by the fear
that Mrs. Grunig would take her
away from her home when she was

the woman in court. claiming that she
was not her mother.
