! SISTER DEAD iND
BURIED RETURNS
Brother Receives a Letter From Girl
Whose Funeral He Thought He
attended.

An Asheville, n. c., dispatch says:
It is a rather weird story that comes
from the western part Of North Caro-
lima, brought by one of the leading
business men of Andrews, Cherokee
county, in which a brother and Sis
ter of Andrews buried, they though,
the body of their sister and mournec
her death, but later found that their
sister was alive.
William Oliver, who belongs to the
firm of Andrews Supply company
lived in Andrews with his sisters,
Annie and Della. The story goes that
Annie Oliver left Andrews about SIX
months ago and came to AsheVllle
and stayed here for several weeks
After she left Asheville it seems that
her brother and sister lost track OF
her.
About two weeks ago strange Wo-
man committed suicide in the redllght
district of Charlotte. There was
travelling statesmen in Charlotte at
the time who knew William Oliver
and also knew that his sister had lett
Andrews. He went to look at the sui
eide and was shown a letter which
was found on the suicide or with her
effects. This letter was addressed to
Annie Oliver. Thereupon the sales
man telegraphed to William Oliver
that he was convinced that the suicide
was his sister.
The brother Immediately telegraph
ed to a firm of undertakers, instruct
ing them to embalm the body and
ship it to Franklin, where the family
formerly lived and where other mem
bers are buried.
He was notified of the time the
bodv was shipped and when it migh
arrive at Franklin, and he and his SIS
ter Della made the trip to Franklin
to attend to the last rites. Another
brother came from Atlanta and there
were numerous relatives and friends
living in Franklin who were present
The body was put away with appro-
pirate ceremonies, punches OF flowers
were laid on the grave. But the cas-
ket was not opened on account OF the
family's aversion to look on the faces
of their dead. Besides, it is SAID
that Mr.. Oliver had received a letter
from the undertaking firm suggest,
ing that the casket had better not be
opened, as the face Of the corpse was
disfgured about the mouth, caused
by the corrosive action of the poison
which had been taken.
William and Della Oliver then re,
turned to Andrews and the Other
brother to Atlanta, apparently vel
satisfied that they had attended the
burial of their sister. But a few days
ago the brother at Andrews received
a letter from Columbia. He was amaz'
ed to See that it was in the hand
writing of mis- sister who he believed
dead and that she had signed it. She
! gave the information that she was II
Columbia hospital and had been fol
some time; that she had undergone
an operation for appendicitis. This
evidence that his sister was alive
seemed conclusive, but Mr.. Oliver was
not taking any chances. He boarded
the train and went to Columbia, anc
sure enough, he found his sister alive

certainly went to great deal of ex'
pense and trouble besides the menta
anguish that he suffered.

RUSE OF "TENAS" GEORGE.
"Tenas" George was a squaw-
man and a white savage. The In
dams called him that because
."tenas" in Chinook means little.
George was certainly small phys
1cally, but mentally he was big
enough for his surroundings and
the savages with whom he asso-
ciated.
George was a nomad and no
good for several years befoer he
reformed. Then he settled down
to be- a common farmer. He mar
ried the best looking squaw he
could find and went to tilling the
soil.
The place he selected for the
completion of his reformation
was small valley on the Simil-
kameen river. It was beautiful
spot, but was contiguous to an
Indian burial ground where lay
the sacred bones of once famous
war chief. A creek ran through
it and there were mountain trout
and small game in abundance.
The ground was easy to cult
vate and the crop was about
grown and ready for George and
his squaw when the Indians be-
gan to assemble from every con-

his squaw spent most miserably.
But the next season found him
as industrious as ever, planting
another garden. As it grew into
green stuff with which George
and his squaw found feast the
next winter, the squaw-man COW
eted the burial ground because it
was just as fertile as his farm.
He. dared not attempt to drive
away the Indians with intimida-
ton.
And he didn't know whether or
not they would be back for an
other sun dance. But they came,
just the same, and Immediately
settled down to eat George out
of house and home once more.
All that day he thought over the
problem of Kidding himself of
them. Then out of the recesses
of his evil brain, somewhere, a
happy thought flashed.
That evening he spent much
time in the garden gathering
pumpkins and making them into
hobgoblins, with candles to light
them. When the revel was end
ing in wild war whoops, tomtom
noise and frewater, then George
sneaked his pumpkins out to the
war chiefs grave. He lighted the
candles and hurried back to await
