MYSTERY CLEARED UP
HIS NAME is TWIGGS
Copy Of the Press Ends Our Interest
ing Mystery-Oklahoma Woman
Leaves No Doubt That She Knows
Whereof She Speaks.

Our "lost man" is no longer myst-
cry. He is Al Twiggs, OF at least was
in June and July of last year when
he was working on the farm of Guy
and Doc Harrington, near Fairmont,
Oklahoma A woman spoiled our SEN
sation. When women read the Press
they just simply can't help finding
out things.
The only mystery that remains is
where Mr. AL. Twiggs maintains his
domicile and keeps his bank account,
where and who his wifGs people are,
and the name and POI office address
of his father. When these trifling de-
tails are cleared away Mr.. Twiggs will
take up his delayed correspondence
and possibly make visit back
home"
There is no doubt of the identity OF
the man who was assaulted here the
night of December 21 last. The letter
received leaves no doubt. Mr.. Twiggs,
alias the "nameless man." repeated
many things contained in the letter
below that were never printed nor
contained in any letter sent out, and
the only person who could have i'm
parted them to the lady is Mr.. Twiggs
himself. He is either Mr.. Twiggs or
else he was jollying the lady when he
told her his name.
Fairmont, Okla,
March 10, 1916.
d. B. Jefferies,
American Falls, Idaho.
Dear Sir: Have just received the
American Falls Press dated March
End and will try to give you some in
formation concerning the stranger
who has been robbed of his memory.
We recognize the picture as a man
who worked for us. His name is AL.
Twiggs. He worked on the elevator
at Fairmont or near Enid before ne
came to work for us, about June Id
to July 21, 1915. We are the two
brothers that he recalls. / will give
the names of each family hoping that
It will help him to recall us: the
brothers names are Guy and Doc.
Harrington, hying in the same mouse
but each family living separately.
Guy's wife's name is Grace and the
baby is Harriet, called Tootsy. Docs
family, who he lived with, the wires
name was Anna, called Dips, and the
little boys were Lisle and Dutch1e.
Lisle is a little red-headed, freckie-
faced fellow.
Mrs. Harrington, the mother of the
brothers, lived with Doc but was not
at home all the time and had been
staying with another son. A sister
of Docs wife came to visit during this
time. Her name is Min Fox, from
Muscatine, Idaho.
He first shocked wheat and later
exchanged with neighbors and drove
a bundle team to help thresh. he
left our place on July 21st as Guys
family was moving to Fairmont where
Guy had the position of buying grain
for the elevator. We think that Mr
Mangold, who identified him as work.
ing on the elevator and gave j. T..
Howe as the name, had associated
the wrong name with the picture.
Nearly all the information given in
the Press about his past are Identical
with what he told us.
Things he told us: He had mined,
was hurt so that he had done no hard
work prior to June, 1915; had travel
ed In all the places mentioned; had
property, we believe. in Arizona and
money some place. He received s5oo
in Enid and said that he had sent 1t
to an uncle. He had worked In
Arkansas, we think he picked straw
berries at that place; his people live
in Missouri and probably live near
joplin or Carthage; he spoke OF MS
father often. His wife is dead, l be-
lieve about or years; he had been
married several years; Mrs. Twiggs
was a graduate of the University OF
Missouri and then taught for a num-
ber OF years. l think he said she dled
with appendicitis. At one time ne
had a restaurant or stopping place
on a stage coach line in Arizona, some
where near the Grand Canyon.
We are sending some pictures Oh
the little boys and OF the house, also
the check he signed, so you can iden-
tify his writing. This check VIII be
sent from the bank of CARRIER in sep
arate letter.
am sure by writing to the Univer-
sity of Missouri you could. through
some publication Of the university
press, obtain information of his wife.
Please return pictures and results
obtained. We would be glad to add
any more details Of his stay with us
If it will help his memory. He pro-
baby recalls our COW lot across the
road, how We all helped milk the Is
cows and heifers, how the mosquitoes
were SO bad that he used to mold the
baby and smoke his pipe tc smoke the
mosquitoes away. Also that when
