Purse Found After Dream Moment on Bevington Witerset Train
A woman lost a purse on a Bevington to Witerset journey aboard Conductor White’s train. Post‑sweepers found no trace, yet the next morning the purse appeared in the seat end where she sat after dreaming. The husband claimed the recovered purse, while a Chicago furniture maker’s son faced parental opposition and arrest over a marriage. General Sherman hints at retirement plans in April.
