Judge MeLane soon reached the Three Mile house, and was informed that a woman named Mrs. Lee had been in that vicinity the night be- fort. Returning then to Fort Whip pie, to see if Mrs. Lee actually was in existence and lived at the post, he learned that this woman was there as reported. He then returned to the Three Mile house and passed on short distance, meeting a man and boy named French in a wagon com ing to the city. He was informed by the boy that an aged woman was seen in the vicinity of the Ladwell ranch, about seven miles out on the Walker road, and there the justice went.
 He reached the ranch and meeting MT. Ladwell was informed that a woman went up a guleh near his place a short time before. Judge McLane then passed on and followed footprints, going about a mile up the guleh where he saw Mrs. Oneal.
 She immediately started to run, but putting spurs to his horse he soon overlook her. She informed him that she was going to take supper with Mrs. Jackson, and the judge informed her that Mrs. Jackson lived in an other direction from the course she was following. Putting Mrs. Oneal in the saddle the judge also mounted the horse and they returned to the road where Mrs. Oneal had started up the ravine.
 She soon realized the trick and be- came very violent, and it was with difficulty she was quieted.
 A short time later Lester Ruffner rode up, and taking the Cook horse he started to the city to make an nouneement that Mrs. Oneal had been found Judge MeLane sent word to the sheriff s office for a team. George Ruffner left immediately and return ed about f o'clock with Mrs. Oneal and Judge McLane. She was taken immediately to her home.
 The persistence of Mrs. Oneal in saying that she was going to Mrs. JacksOn's s from the moment she left her home to the time of her rescue nearly 24 hours later, is traced to time of long years ago, when she was employed by the JacksODs in Kirkland valley as a teacher of the private school maintained by MT. and Mrs. Jackson. Mrs. Oneal became very much attached to Mrs. Jackson, and time has not effaeed that mem Ory, although Mrs. Jackson passed away over three years ago.
 When found by Judge MeLane, Mrs. Oneal said she knew Mrs. Jackson was dead, but she was going to the house to take dinner any wayway, and that there were others there to welcome her again to the home. She would converse on no other subject but this old-time as- sOciatiOn.
 At her home last evening, Mrs. Oneal showed no i'll effects whatever from her long exposure, and went about her duties as usual She does not seem to know or to appreciate the seriousness of her situation for so long time and her intimate friends are unable to account for the sud den impulse that caused her to wan der away at large through the night especially.
 After leaving her home Tuesday afternoon about o'clock, Mrs. Oneal travelled around the rocks to the west of the city, and finally passed to the east over the old ball grounds From that place she went to the foothills north of the city, and it is the sup position of several that as soon as daylight approached she went up the Whipple gulch, passing close to the MeDermid dairy, where she was seen in the foothills. Then she travelled over the old road that comes out above the Three Mile house. She then took an old road that passes to the south of the Four Mile house, and after that followed the foothills | to the vicinity of the Ladwell ranch, near which she was found.
