FIFTY-YEAR SEARCH ENDS

P. C. Grimes, Aged Seventy-Five, Finds Lost Sister After Spending Much Time and Money. Altus, Okla. —A search of fifty years, extending iover a dozen different states and twenty-five counties in Oklahoma, during the progress of which a small fortune was expended in an advertising campaign, ended at Blair when P. C. Grimes of Nebraska City, Neb., stepped from an Orient passenger train into the, arms of his sister, Mrs. D. W. Jones of Altus. Mr. Grimes is seventy-five years old. Fifty years ago, after the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Jones, the family broat up. After a few years they lost trace of each other and all efforts to get into communication were unavailing. Mr. Grimes then began his search. It was a mere accident that Grimes finally found his sister. He had written a letter to her, directed to Rix, a post office in Green county, long since discontinued. The letter was thrown to Mangum, and Postmaster G. B. Townsend, who happened to be personally acquainted with Mr*. Jones, forwarded the letter to her.
