tleman. With information from
young man, who hunted in that neigh

married her.
A young girl arrived with no bag
gage but a pair of overalls, which she
said belonged to her brother, she had
gotten off the train with her ticket
She told many stories, obviously false
but we found that she had managed
to beat her way here without ticket
A telegram was sent to her uncle
who answered with enough money to
buy a ticket to Camp in Georgia,
where her sweetheart was in service
and willing to marry her. She
reached there safely and was married

man to let her alone. This man has
ben reported to his employers who
