DEATH FOLLOWS
WEIRD PROPHEGY.
Mrs. RebecCa Short Dies IS
ClairVOyant Fore
told.

True 20 the prophecy made a week ago
BY clairvoyant whom she visited that
she would die suddenly on July II. Mrs.
Rebecca Short. forty-fve years old. OF
lZ3j Second street southwest, staggered
from the dinner table yesterday evening
toward her room, and as she sank into
a chair her body became lifeless. The
fortune teller had told her the secret
that she would pass away as the
shadows Of night came on and her death
would be peaceful. She died without a
struggle.
Mrs. Shorts oft-repeated declaration
that she would drop dead was never
taken seriously by the members Of the
family, and her frequent mention OF Il
since visiting the clairvoyant was taken
lightly by her friends and relatives.
Suddenly Becomes Faint.
The members or the family were
seated at the table yesterday evening
and were in merry mood. Joviality
reigned around the family board. AS
the meal drew 10 a Csose and after Mrs.
short had partaken heartily Of every
thing before her. she turned CHASTITY
pale and could not speak. Her son and
daughter were terrified. Finally, catch
ing her breath she explained that she
did not feel We'll and would 90 10 her
room With faltering step she started
toward TIE room and died the moment
she sat in the chair.

A Strange Influence.
Mrs Short was active mentally and
physically up 10 the moment of her
death though the mystical influence
which had dominated her lie from the
time she was a girl hastened her demise
in the opinion OF her relatives. She
would constantly digress from every
conversation to mention the awful fate
which had been predicted for her by
the woman of magic. Since visiting the
clairvoyant last week. when she was
told OF her fate, she has exhibited a
morCse and melancholy temperament
and at times she would sit in deep
thought, Oblivi0us OF anything that
might be transpiring around her,
Mrs. Short took an active part ir
church work and she was believed u
have absorbed the doctrine of the spir
itualsts Her mind dwelt constantly o.
what the future would be, and he

made for her at these seasons.
