WOMAN OF III FOUND.
Real Daughter Of Revolution Lives
in SquaIid Cabin.


Atlanta, Ga.-Mrs. Mary Trawicl
Proctor, III years old, real daugh
ter of the American Revolution. has
Just been discovered in an humble
old cabin in Barlow county Georgia
Her only companions are her daugh.
ter, Miss Mary Proctor, 80 years old,
and two great grandchildren, de-
scendants of another daughter.
Mrs. Proctor was born in Wake
county, N. G., April 80 1900. When
19 years old, she was married to
Hiram Proctor, veteran of the Rev
olution and the War of 1912. She
has lived under the administrations
of 26 Presidents, including John
Adams and William H. Taft.
On a bedding of straw. constitut-
ing a mattress so thin that the
rough plank Stats can be seen, this
daughter of the revolution lies, her
form emaciated, skin wrinkled, and
almost a skeleton. Her aged daugh-
ter ministers to the wants and ne
cessities of the household, and tills
the soil in a small cotton and garden
patch nearby. The meager profits
derived from this labor she adds to
the $12 month which Mrs. Proctor
receives for the services of her hus-
band rendered in the War of 1912. !

Atlanta to raise funds sufficient to
provide for the two old women the |
est of their lives.

SHIP GIVEN UP.
Bark Espada Now 15o Days Out of
Grays Harbor.

~N HSPoAa NOW iOO lays Out OF
Grays Harbor.
Aberdeen. Wash.-The bark Espa-
da, $50 days out of Grays Harbor for
Adelaide, South Australia, is believed
to be lost with all hands.
The Espada cleared from Aberdeen
over the bar. That is the last heard
OF her and as the normal passage
time on this run is rs days, marin
ers believe there is no hope for the
craft.
The Espada was commanded by
Captain Inghart Jacobson, of Tacoma.
and was manned by ten men. Among
the passengers on the trip, which is
thought to have been fatal for all
on board. was Mrs. Jacobson. who
was formerly Miss Olga Anderson,
of 2156 South M street, Tacoma.
The bark loaded at the Slade Mill
with a full cargo of lumber for the
Australit port. Unless she struck
storm 1t is the belief of local sea
men that she ran aground, as it
would be almost impossible for a
ship to sink in midocean when filed
with lumber.
Reinsurance on the Espada has
gone up in the last few days and 1t
is now denied. Efforts have been
begun to trace the missing vessel.

Rritons Seek Polo Gun.

London-Great Britain is going to
make another try to regain the polo
cup and will challenge America for a
match in 1912. The Duke of West
minister has offered to take over the
recovery fund and ponies, and the
Hurlingham committee has decided to
accept the offer. The action of the
Duke relieves the committee of the
necessity of appealing for subscrip-
tions for the fund that would be re-
quired. To carry the team and its
mounts across would necessitate an
outlay of from S25. 900 to $50. 600.

The Berthold reservation is trav-

plains are undulating and beautiful

fringes the streams. Both the North

ways have lines surveyed through the
reservation and the Northern has
right of way granted by the govern
ment, the franchise being held by
2 per cent grade. The 500 road cuts
thru a corner Of the domain dis
lance of about fifteen miles. The rail
roads will no doubt be built to reach
the government townsites when they
are established.
