Lost Wearing Apparel In Snowdrifts From Saline

The mystery of the handsome cloak found on a country road where there was evidence of a struggle has been explained, although the cloak has not yet been claimed. The story is one of the most peculiar ones that has found its way into print in a long time.

On Saturday last Miss Emma Moore and an elderly lady, Miss Garnett Kingsley and Mrs. Jennie Lewis Mason went to Saline with a driver, where Mrs. Mason was left with her people. At 11 o'clock Monday forenoon the party with this exception started on their return to Ann Arbor and were over 8 hours on the road, reaching here at 7:30 o'clock. In this time they had stopped at several places to get warm. The unfortunate one of the party was Garnett Kingsley, who froze a heel and a hand, lost her cloak, lost her boa, lost her slippers, and a petticoat and fell out of the vehicle three times and was with difficulty replaced in it and brought to the city. The cloak is in possession of the sheriff, the slippers and petticoat in the hands of the police and the boa has not yet been found.

The cold was intense and the drifts were awful.

It is but fair to say that the women of me party deny the story and have not yet claimed the articles of wearing apparel.
