YOUNG LADY LET SELF
OUT OF HOTEL WINDOW
Why Did She Depart Thus Is
Question Asked at The Cliff
ton House

The management and the en-
ployes of the Clifton house are mys-
titled about the peculiar departure
of one of the guests of the hotel
last Sunday night. A young lady
who registered as Miss Agnes Rindy
of Walnut Grove arrived here Satur-
day evening and remained at the
hotel that night. Nothing was seen
of her during the following day, and
she retired Sunday evening quite
early. In the morning it was found
that Miss Rindy had left her room
through the window which faces the
alley, in most unusual manner.
She had torn sheet into strips, tied
them together and made a rope, thus
letting herself out of the window
and down to the ground. She took
all her baggage with her. and not,e-
ing has been seen or heard Of her
since. She was not seen in company
with anyone while here, and the rea-
son for her seemingly stealthy de-
parture is still missing.
