Extra! Evolution of Wee Rumor and Chase it Led Reporter in Effort to Trace it to Lair

This is to show how a rumor spreads

from mouth to mouth and how it grows none the less in telling. A rumor came to the Palladium this morning that the wife of George W. Homrighous, a jeweler, had found a note in a potato, written by the woman who had raised the potato saying she had sold it with others at the rate of 39 cents a bushel. It was said the woman who wrote the note lived in Iowa and that she requested the person who purchased this potato to write to her and tell her the ultimate price a bushel. A reporter called on Mr. Homrighous. "No, it wasn't Mrs. Homrighous," he said. "A Mrs. Crawford living on

South Thirteenth street told me about !

it She said a neighbor of her's had found the note." . Calls Upon Mrs. Crawford. The reporter called on Mrs. Crawford, who lives at 230 South Thirteenth street. "I heard about it from Mrs. Finfrock, who lives three doors north," she said. "It seems that Mrs. Finfrock was visiting in Piqua, Ohio, and her folks there or some neighbor woman found the note." The reporter resumed the trail and called at the Finfrock home. "I was .coming home from Piqua when I overheard two women, who got on the train at Bradford, telling about the note. One of them had found it in a potato. It was written by a woman in Colorado and said she had received 30 cents a bushel for the potatoes," Mrs. Finfrock explained. Mrs. Finfrock didn't hear whether the woman answered the. note because

hey reached their station at that juncture. There was nothing unusual in this. Only the wholly natural tendency of persons to repeat inaccurately. Then folks wonder when the newspapers make a mistake.
