proof that the woman had become
confused as to distances If not as to
directions. In a log they found the
remains of some baked chicken, all
that the squirrels had left. The Of

cape, which she said was tucked un-
de: log somewhere near. They did
find q pair of tan shoes. She had left
her dog at a ranch some five miles
away. but the officers did not think
it worth vile to get him. The horse
was left at a ranch some eight miles
east of Rathdrum.
A peculiar occurrence was the de-
