Medical Men Puzzled.

Cheyenne, Wyo, Oct. 14.-Mrs.
John A. Grover who died at Lara.
mie yesterday of starvation, had
taken no noarishment except a glass
of milk for over two months. From
200 pounds in weight she wasted
away to rs pounds. A most extra
ordinary circumstance in this con-
nection is that the alimentary canal
failed absolutely to perform it's Of
fee for ten weeks prior to death.
Local physicians regard the case as
one Of the most extraordinary in
medical annals-ofering as the only
possible explanation the theory that
some brain disorder interfered with
the natural processes of the body in
such way as to prevent physical
wasting away. She lost the power
of speech two weeks ago and made
herself understood by signs. She
apparently suffered no pain. She
was a half sister of the world-known
Sarah Althea Hill Sharon.
