AS STRANGE AS FICTION.


The story of the abduction of
Miss Linton is as strange as fiction
and forcibly illustrates the trite
proverb that sometimes truth is
the stranger.
Briefly summarized, it is said
that Miss Lucille Linton, an heiress,
living in Thomasville, the center of
a circle of many friends, popular,
and a general favorite, was notified
by telegraph that her brother was
in Moultrie and intended coming
to her home by private conveyance.
Later in the afternoon, which
was late in October and dark and
rainy, Miss Linton is said to have
been approached by an alleged ne.
gro women, who drove to the Lin :
ton home in buggy. The woman
is said to have handed Miss Linton
a note, saying that her brother,
while On the way to Thomasville,
had been the victim of a runaway
and was injured and at that time
in a house several miles from the
city.
THE RIDE INTO THE COUNTRY.
Miss Linton accompanied the
stranger and it is said thas she took
the precaution to carry her revolv-
er with her. Ititsaid Miss Linton's
suspicious gradually become arous-
ed and to this suspicion anxiety
and alarm were soon added, when
it is said she discovered that her
driver was leaving the main road
and carrying her into an isolated
and abandoned settlement road.
