ingen could be found. He and his claim
ant had roOmed together IN Oneida, n

Glenn. attorney for the claimant set
out to find the missing individual He
had nothing to guide him but a fimsy
description given by his client. but he
went 10 many fOundrles and did con-
siderable correspondence, thinking that
he would find the man still working at
his old trade Weeks passed without
when the papers must be produced or
the claimant would lose his case. In a
last desperate effort to land his man
Glenn took a tra in for Pittsburg.
Early one morning. after sleeping In
a Pullman berth all night. Glenn woke
TO find that the train was az a stand

the cab was a man, and C7ienn-he
didn't know why he did it-suddenly
asked him. us your name Schwerin-

Yes" was the reply, and before
Glenn recovered from the shock the
train began TO move onward. He quick
" told SChWeringeu 10 rush the paBarq

client won his case.

country lately. Some OF these tales
have been so fantastic is their details
that If they were worked into fiction
or melodramas the critics probably
would call the police.
Take. for instance, the nauner IN
which John NJ. Lomax. Of Dover, Ohio,
found his sister after a separation or
more than thirty-four years. When his
sister Anne was sixteen years old her
mother died. and then she became
housekeeDer and cook for her father
and her brother.
Her special dish was beef stew. with
dumplings, and OF this her brother was
very fond.
AFTER four yearfs, the father married
again. and then the children drifted
away and lost sight OF one another. Al

sister, but could never get any trace
Of her.

Gave Way

Without warning, the great dam at

miles north of Helena, Montana par
TALLY gave way shortly before 3o'clock
Tuesday afternoon, causing damages
estimated at $3.50, 900. No lives were

its inter winding course has impeded
the progress of the water and no great
loss of property is anticipated in the

The Hauser lake dam was 400 feet
long and 20 feet high, and was con-

men were at WORK in the power house,
which is situated about 100 yards be-

men escaped and that no lives were
lost at the dam. About $50 feet of the
dam was destroyed, leaving about 1875
