We have recently heard of a case or

The above article is a timely one.
II is a fact that no strange uni can
some to this town without some foul
nouthed man or woman starting vie
stories about the past of the new ar
rival, and this is particularly true if
she oma happens to be a single
woman dependent upon her own
resources.
A case in point, and the one which
~ presume is referred to in the above
article, is that of Mrs. Howard and
Miss Gray, who recently came here
from Kansas City. Mrs. Howard, who
Is a widow, came here and rented the
lower rooms of the Moranville block
with the object of taking boarders and
sndeavoring to make a living for her
self. When she had become comfort
ably settled in her new quarters she
sent for her friend, Miss Gray, who is

two ladies opened d~ressmaking parlors
M their rooms. Both ladies brought
letters of recommendation from some

she ladies at some time in the din
past in a little Nebraska town, under
infavOrable circumstances. Investi'
CATION by interested parties showed
Mat the lady was never in the towr
referred to.
