of Dr. and Mra. Kennard, and is ex
pected will in due time recover from
the effects of the exposure resulting
from her singular experience on Dry
creek. Mrs. Carmichael is still una
ble to shed any definite light upon the
manner in which she reached Dry
creek, although she has a faint im
pression that she was brought by two
men in a car and put out somewhere
"in the dark," afterward finding her
self in flood water. She left Seattle
Monday of last week, while suffering
raging headache. The train was
crowded, and she was unable to get
a berth. She sat up in the chair ear,
and after passing North Yakima par
tially lost consciousness. She has a
hazy recollection of alighting at the
station in Walla Walla, but subse
quent events, until she encountered
the cold waters of Dry creek, are al
most a complete blank to her.
