INJURED MAN AND HUNGRY
WIFE ARE NOT FOUND BY

A Young white woman who gave
her name as Brannon called at the
home OF Mrs. Dan Finn on Thursday
morning with a plea for money and
groceries. She stated that her husband
hauled logs for one c. NJ. Smith, and
while thus engaged had been the VIC
tim OF an accident A falling log, she
stated, due to a slack log chain, had
fallen upon her husband and crushed
his back and shoulders. She further
declared that medical attention had
not been given the man, due TO lack
OF funds
Shortly after the strangers visit
Mrs. Finn, in company with Mrs.
B. NJ. Wilson, left for the home OF
the alleged unfortunate victim, which,
according to the woman, was located
about three miles from Dawson on
the Americas road. near the home OF
one George Anderson. A thorough
search from house to house was made
until the ladies had gone distance OF
six miles. They then turned and made
inquiries through the Yeomans COM
munitv until within a short distance
of PARROT The hunt, however, prov
ed fruitless, as no one knew OF lam
lily in such a condition or by that
name. Neither was Smith or Anderson
known.
1t is now believed that the story
was fairy tale originated by the wo-
man to obtain money by fraudulent
means. The idea is strengthened by
the fact that a woman answering the
description OF the beggar had been
known to have camped in Ford car
