A BRAVE GIRL IS MISS JENNA
 O'DALY.
(From Fridays Daily)

| A brave little American woman is
 Miss Jemima O'Daly of Nogales
 Alone, except for the peons or Indians
 whom she may hire to guide her and
 do her bidding, she is now in the noun
 tain districts of the State of Sinaloa,
 Mexico, there seeking the remains of
 her murdered brother that she may have
 them brought back to civilization and given Christian burial. Hundreds of
 miles from a railroad and far inland from the coast she has made a journey
 by rail, by water, by stage and later
 by whatever conveyance might be had in the less settled country through which she journeyed, that would try the endurance of a strong man. With her into the mountains of that, to her, strange land, she has had peons bear coffin into which will be placed the remains of the murdered man. After recovering the body of her brother, the long, tedious journey must be repeat ed before she will be again among friends and acquaintances.
 Almost three months ago William ". O'Daly was murdered by his servant while travelling through Sinaloa. There were no witnesses to the tragedy, and when captured the servant told story of fight in which he was compelled to kill his employer in self-defense. Such a report reached Nogales about a month ago.
 Hurt and angered by the report that her brother had attempted to harm his servant, when alone with him in the mountains, Miss O'Daly at once an nounced her intention to prove the story false. She knew it could not be true, as her brother's brave, generous nature made such a thing impossible. She had known him to rebuke in strong terms men who had been unnecessarily cruel to such people.
 Three weeks ago she left here alone to make the journey into the almost unsettled section of Sinaloa where the murder occurred.
 This week a letter was received by a friend of Miss O'Daly in Nogales, written by her at Choix, Sinaloa, the town nearest the place where her bro ther was murdered. She had arrived there safely, and was to leave next day for the mountains, taking with her coffin to hold the remains of her brother, which will be buried in Sinaloa until such time as she can make ar to have them removed to h. urls, Sonora, the home of his wife and children.
 From Indian trailers who tracked and captured the murderer of MT. O'Daly, Miss O'Daly learned in detail the story of the murder, as adduced by them from thorough investigation.
 They told her that her brother, while riding along, was shot by his servant, who stepped up close to him from be- hind and shot him in the back. The bullet entered under the shoulder and came out in front, on the opposite side, higher up. Powder marks showed that the weapon used had been held close to the victim. The sudden shock caused the wounded man to pull his mule up so quickly that the animal slipped and the injured rider, falling off, grapped at once with the assas- sin, preventing him from firing a second time. Terror-strieken, the man beat his victim on the head with the revolver, then broke away and fled. The wounded man was able to draw his gun and shoot at the fleeing murderer, but in his weakened condition could not shoot with his wonted precision.
 In Sinaloa, Miss O'Daly says, every one believes the story told by the In dian trailers, that the servant erept up behind his employer and shot him in the back, intending to rob him. but failing to kill him at once, became panic-stricken and fled, fearing to re- turn.
