Inspired by an imaginative mind, it is thought that Mrs. Buford of Romney, who claimed to have been, beaten, poisoned, etc., Friday night, played up the serjes of hoaxes that have put Romney on the map. According to rumor Mrs.-Buford is dissatisfied with conditions In Romney and wants to get back to the bright lights of Logansport, her former home. The tale was invented by Mrs. Buford, according to Sheriff Slayback, for a physician’s examination failed to reveal any bruises and indications point to the fact that Mrs. Buford cut her own hair off. Her husband, is a ’well digger, will not return to Logansport for business is better at Rounney. The fake perpetrated by Mrs. Buford will not serve to make the police any more genial, for they have devoted a great deal of time to looking for suspects and they hope the series of false alarms is at an end. — Lafayette Journal.
