CURED BY THE PRAYER
STORY is TOLD By NOUN.
TAIN LAKE PAPER
Wonderful Thing Occurred; In
jured Woman Was ReIived
Of Her Suffering

Mountain Lake, July 13.-The
Mountain Lake View says that this
community has been stirred consider
ably this week by the miraculous
healing of Mrs. Richert at the Bethel
hospital, Sunday, through the power
Of prayer.
Mrs. Richert, whose home is in
Montana, was injured in train &C
cident January 6, last, when the coach
she was riding in went over thirty
foot embankment, injuring seriously
the majority of the passengers. Mrs.
Richert was brought to the local hos
pital fourteen weeks ago, where
everything possible was done for the
poor lady Though she improved
slightly during this time, both Doc
tor Piper and Dr. Wall stated that
there was no hope for her recovery, OF
that at best she might some time be
able to hobble about on clutches. Her
condition was such that to move her
lower limbs was an impossibility and
to be seated in a chair meant almost
unbearable pain.
Heard of Wonderful Cures.
Having heard of the wonderful
work being carried on in the park
by Evangelist Hogue, she requested
Sister Martha to send for him, that
he might pray for her that she re-
ceive the Holy Ghost. Her request
was complied with and Immediately
upon the close of Rev. Hogue's earn
est prayer. she felt, and it was feel
ing that probably few of US will un-
derstand, that she had received not
only the Holy Ghost but that hel
physical condition was decidedly bet
ter. Almost afraid that it was but
dream, she raised herself In bed
and the excruciating pain that had
always attended such movements was
not there.
Was Able to Walk.
She next tried to use her lower
limbs, and as she gradually came to
the realization of what the Lord had
done for her, she set her feet on the
ground and with Sister Martha slight
ly guiding her, she walked across the
room and tears streamed down hel
cheeks as she cried for Joy.
After the miseries she had under
gone for fourteen long, dready weeks
the world suddenly changed for heI
from a dark, gloomy aspect to one
Of happiness and sunshine, and tC
prove what the Almighty had done for
her she walked to the meeting that
evening and testified of her exper-
fence; and we dare say there are few
people in this world who have ex-
perienced greater joy in this world
than Mrs. Richert and the Sisters OF
the hospital who witnessed this
strange miracle of Christ.

told police that he answered Miss
Woods telephone call, for help from
the Lofts apartment and when LOT

Although the police believe that
the diamond merchant died as a re-
suit of conclusion of the brain, prop
ably caused by a fall, they are not
