Sarah AHhea Terry.

It'll Thursday when she came here from
Stockton. She was placed by friend
in the house of Editor Calbreath, OF
the City Argus, and nurse was hired
to care for her. as she seemed to be
laboring under tremendous excite
ment. She has now been two days.
in her room attended by DIR. Gilmore.
The doctor says it is clear case
of dementia, due to worry over her
affairs and dabbliug in spiritualism.
She sits for hours in one place with
pocket handkerchief rolled up and
placed to her ear like the holder OF a
telephone. She says she gets all kinds
Of messages through this handkerchief
from her friends in the spirit land. and
handed the handkerchief to a reporter
who saw her and asked him If he did
not hear whispers coming through 1T.
She looks very old and haggard, and
her face is flushed with fever.
At night Sarah becomes very violent
and calls loudly for Judge Terry and
for Porter Ashe, whom she says she
loves dearly. Ashe is well-known on
the turf as the owner of Gerland her
fast horse. He befriended Mrs Terry
after the shooting. and was about the
only one of her friends who has been
able to endure her caprices. Her un-
Gle, who is in the city refuses to make
application to have her committed to
an insane asylum, as she has shown
no tendency to violence, but the doctor
fears her mania will increase.
She had only remnant of her prop
erty left, Judge Terry's estate having
been heavily mortgaged and badly
managed. When the Sharon divorce
suit began in March, 1884, she was a
remarkably handsome woman, and
since then she has been almost con-
stantly before the public. She never
got a cent from the Sharon estate, and
about six months ago the last of her
appeals was denied by the federal
court.
Sarah AIthea Terry Myster;ously Dis
appears.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 15.-Crazy
Sarah Althea Terry, who is insane on
spiritualism and believes she is person
ally directed in all her actions by the
late Judge Terry, disappeared from
Editor Culbreath's house at o'clock
yesterday morning and no clue has yet
been secured to her whereabouts.
The doctors dosed her Saturday night
with opiates and she secured her first
sleep for nearly four days. She looked
better yesterday morning, and sur
prised Culbreath early by appearing in
full street costume and saying she
wanted to walk on the sidewalk in
front of the house. He was amazed
when he reached the street to find her
gone. An alarm was given and the
neighborhood was thoroughly searched,
but no trace of her could be found.
There are some who think the poor
woman may have thrown herself into
the bay Editor Culbreath is not sorry
Sarah has left his house. He frankly
admits he was going to have her put in
charge of the authorities to-day. as she
had worn him out and damaged his
place by her eccentricities.
The story of her wrecked mind and
forlorn condition excited much pity
here among those who knew her before
she began the disastrous law suit against
Sharon.
