AN ACADEMY GIRLS
STRANGE EXPERIENCE

Miss Elzora Bennett, who recently
came here from Liberal, to attend
school at Fowler Academy, had a
rather peculiar experience last Sun
day afternoon. She had been down
town with some friends and about
3 o'clock started 10 her boarding
place alone. When a short distance
west Of the Baptist church q strang-
er came up behind her and politely
asked II her name was Bennett She
informed him that It was. The man
took telegram out OF his pocket
which he said was for her. He read
II to her about as follows;
your sister is very sick, come
at once"
Signed P, MARSHALL.
P. Marshall Ia Miss BENEFITS step
father, who with her mother and
sister, live at Chickasha, Okla.
Miss Bennett asked to see the tel
egram aud It was given to her. She
noticed that It. was not on regular
telegram paper but was written on a
white slip with ink.
When Miss Bennett had read the
telegram the man asked her II she
did not want to send reply and Of
fered' to 60 with her to the depot.
She began to get a little suspicious
and told him she had no money. He
asked her to give back the telegram
which she did. He asked her again
II she did not want to send some
kind OF q message, but she refused
and turned and left him, hurrying on
to her room at the Kershner home.
Not knowing but what the message
was really true and being somewhat
excited, she was crying when she
reached the house. To her girl
friends there she told her story, and
ON hearing some one crying, Mrs
ISershner went to ascertain the cause
As soon as she learned the facts she
called up Agent Maytum and he said
that no telegram had been received
for Miss Bennett any time since she
had been here. Inquiry was also
made at Meade with the same results
Miss Bennett could not give a very
accurate description Of the man bu
he was a stranger Of medium height
and OF sandy complexion. Whel
looking at anyone his face and eye
had q nervous witch which was hi
most peculiar characteristic.

pearing girl and II Ia feared that thu
mission OF the man was not a worth.
