AN ALL NIGHT BUSINESS


Last Sunday evening, Mrs. Charles Bradshaw, who
lives near Thortonville, walked out into the woods
near her home for a Sunday evening ramble and also
looking for a stray hog.


She got lost and rambled trying to find the way back
home.  Night came on and she shouted herself hoarse
hoping that by this means to attract aid. 


Fortunately she had matches with her and late in the
night dispairing of finding her way back home, she
built a light wood fire as a protection from the
cold and "made herself at home".  Exhausted and
worried she made a bed of pine straw and leaves and
took a nap.  


Early next moring she resumed her ramble and about
nine o'clock Monday morning she walked into the home
of Mr. James Welch, who lives four or five miles
from her home.  Mrs. Bradshaw is an old lady and
such exposure with nothing to eat was dangerous.
