Widows Dream.

The Montgomery county authorities last
Saturday took stock in the occult in an
effort to solve the mysterious murder Of
Edward L. Mills. OF near Hunting Hill. who
was slain by an unidentified stranger on
his farm several weeks ago.
Several nights ago. Mrs. Mills told the
police her dead husband appeared to her
in a dream and carefully spelled out the
name of the murderer. The name was
unfamiliar to her. she declared. and as she
awakened with start she jumped up and
wrote down the name. which was turned
over to the police Saturday.
Beyond revealing that the name was
that Of a Washington man. the authorities
were secretive about the information given
by Mrs. Mills. but did indicate that they
were ready to run down any clue in their
efforts to solve the murder and would
transfer the investigation to Washington.
