In a Cage for Ten Years.
How SECLUDED FARMER CONFINED HIS
CRAZY DAUGHTER.

Samuel Case, 80 years old, of Wysox.
Bradford county, Penn, Is farmer IN COM
Portable circumstances, although he lives on
an isolated farm about 20 miles back through
the woods from the village. About % years
ago his daughthr Phoebe became deranged
through overwork on the farm and about the
house. Her parents would not have her
placed in an asylum. She roamed at Will
about the premises, and the family lived so
far away from others that her case was
known TO onIv one or two persons outside,
and nothing seems to have been thought of II
by them week or so ago citizen of the
country had business in that neighborhood,
and on the trip he stopped at Cases to make
some inquiries. While there he was curious
to learn what uses a uilding standing alone
by itself $50 feet from the farm house,
with window heavily barred and
a door locked with heavy paddock,
could be put to. The building was
not more than 10 feet square. The
farmer gave him no satisfactory answers.
The gentleman went away, but by rounda-
bout way returned to the building and gazed
in through the barred window He saw
sight that sckened him Lying in box of
straw, with little clothing on her person, and
surrounded by filth that emitted frlghful
stencil, was an old woman, gaunt and hollow
eyed, with matted gray hair covering her
head. The discOverer of this sight hurried
away, but at another house. some miles away
inquired what it was he had discovered, and
was told that the woman was Cases crazy
daughter, as related above, and that ten wears
ago she had become unmanageable. and her
father had built the outbulding and confined
her there, since which time she had never
stepped out of doors. This information was
at once forwarded to the State LunaCy Com
mission, and DR.. A. J. curt of that commits
sion, visited Case The old farmer at first
refused to open the building in which his i'll
sane daughter was confined. but finally
unlocked it. A cage, made by
fastening poles upright from the door to the
ceiling, was fenced off in the corner of the
building. In that, huddled in her box of
straw, the unfortunate lunatic was found
She raved wildly when disturbed. For ten
years she had been nourished by food placed
on block outside the cage where she could
reach it. She had lived there winter and
summer with no bed but her box of straw and
no clothing but one scant garment, ard no
covering but an old quilt. Case said he had
kept her there because he could not afford to
pay her expenses at an asylum A physician
who had attended the Case family for years
knew all about the woman's confinement in
the cage, and had never reported it to the au-
thorties The woman's mother died five
years ago. The lunatic has been removed to
the County House.
