"Ie was very strong. l have seen him
handle three sacks Of cement with pr
feet ease.

/ growing crops and seeing that everybody
was properly attended to.
Il remember seeing her riding on the
seat OF the big gangplow and helping
| with the haying. Once l saw her weed
| Ing the vegetable garden. She had a
/ horror OF weeds. There were Two houses
! on the farm, which stretched along st.
| Marie River. The forest came right down
| to the edge Of the farm. One of the
| houses was occupied by Mrs. Stillman.
4 This vas called the white house.
The other house, which was a stone s
/ throw distant. was occupied by the Beau
/ vais family. I was the only servant with

sTILLMAN CHILDREN
VISITED WILDERNESS.
Bud" Games Stillman, Jr.,) and Miss
Anne were there during most of the sum
mer. Sometimes Miss Anna and Bud
made trips into the wilderness with
guides or visited Camp Illmsnn, which
was some distance from the farm.
Bud" was very fond of shooting. He
was always firing at targets or some
thing. Also, he had a beautiful little
yacht, The Happy Second, on which be
spent much of his time. Fred Beauvais
was often with him.
Miss Armstrong has been kept under
cover since her arrival.
When found she was surprised and al
first unwilling to talk. Throughout she
refused to comment directly IN the
charges made in Stillman's divorce ac-
ton. Miss Armstrong is about 81 auburn
haired, nattily dressed and is very much
bewildered by the important role which
she finds herself playing in the Stillman
drama.
