SEEK RELATIVES OF DEAD
MITCHELL WOMAN HERMIT

Mitchell, S. D., Sept. 1.-THE death
CT Mrs. Anna Elliott, 65, has brought
to light considerable mystery sur
rounding the old woman. She died a
mental wreck in q local hospital after
an illness OF about a month. Investi-
CATION following her death resulted in
the discovery hat for three years she
has been living in an old barn on the
south side OF the city alone, leading the
life OF d hermit. There was no furni~
turc in tie place except one chair, a
table, a pair OF bed springs without q
mattress, and an old broken down
stove.
The woman is believed to have had
considerable means, as she always paid
her hospital bill by the week in ad-
vance. 1t is thought that she mas u
son and two daughters somewhere in
the state, but thus far the authorities
have not been able to discover their
whereabouts. y thorough search Of
he barn has been made, but it failed
TO reveal any papers or anything which
would give any clue as to the identity
of tine hermit.
The only evidence, however, that
could be found of any means she might
possess, were some tax receipts, found
In a battered old black bag she carried
with her to the hospital. These re-
ceipts indicate that she was the owner
of a quarter section of land in Jones
county. Sho also owned the lot and
the barn upon which she lived before
being taken to the hospital.

PPEER9HNG STRONG

Army Friends-Points TO
Mexico and Japanese
8 Militarism.

Washington, Sept. ~16.-According 10
a remarkable articel in the Washington
Post today General Pershing, though
he has not talked for publication, has
expressed his views on the League of
Nations and on preparedness to close
army friend. He has told them the
league will not prevent wal and the
United States must look to it's own
fighting strength.
He thinks there is a great danger Of
another war. He regards Intervention
in Mexico as unavoidable and has ad-
vised his staff to be prepared for ac-
zion there. But nc looks CT J:nen
with it's excessive militarism as most
dangerous.
In this connection. it appears Japan
wanted to, go into Russia alone against
the bolshevists but made extreme ter
ritorial demands in Asia, as the price
OF this work. Pershing has beer un-
willing to talk for publication on II
matters relating to politics or interna-
tional affairs but to old army friends
he has, h Post says. made no secret
OF his views.
