MYSTERIOUS HAPPENING TO
MRS. MABEL CARMICHAEL

At about nine o'clock Tuesday
night Mrs. Mabel Carmichael was
found lying in field near the
school house on Dry creek by Mr.. K.
Hupps, the teacher. who lives near
by. Her screams brought him to her
assistance.
A heavy rain storm had occurred,
and the unfortunate woman's cloth
ing was completely soaked. She was
in such "a state of exhaustion as to
be wholly unable to give an account
Of herself. She was cared for
during the night at the Hupps res
idence and was conveyed next day
to the home Of her uncle, DR.. 5. l..
Kennard, in Weston, where she has
since been under the care of DR.. c.
H. Smith.
Mrs. Carmichael has rallied to
some extent but is yet quite vague
concerning her experience. and has
not been pressed for details by her
anxious relatives because Of her Sc
rious condition. She says that she
came to Walla Walla on the train
from Seattle, and was taken from
the latter city by two men in an au-
tomobile, and that they put her out
of the car somewhere "in the
dark" 1t was found that she had
evidently crossed the Dry creek
bridge, had come in contact with a
barb wire fence, had waded through
a rushing torrent of flood water and
had tramped aimlessly back and
forth in the field where she was
found. A hand bag containing a
pocket book, which she had dropped,
was recovered the next day. She
has not as yet disclosed the identity
of the two men of the mysterious
car.
Mrs. Carmichael is the divorced
wife of Geo. B. Carmichael, young
farmer north of Weston, and since
the couples separation few months
ago has been living with her mother
in Seattle. She is supposed to have
come back to effect some sort of bus
mess settlement. She is young
woman of culture and refinement, a
trained singer and musician, and is
highly regarded in the Weston
neighborhood.
