Adee Huse, akminded pauper Of the
town of t psham about forty years of age,
who was cared for by Oscar Eastman, very
suddenly left her lodgings, September 4,
and no traces Of her could be found, al
though reward OF $50 was offered for the
discovery OF her whereabouts. After wait
ing in vain several days for her return,
searching parties were organized. The
country for number Of miles about was
carefully examined, with no avail. Her
disappearance was as complete as though
she had vanished In thin air. Many rumors
we're afloat as to her reason for departing so
suddenly. Some said she had been whip
ped, and otherwise roughly treated by her
keeper. While others feared that she had
been foully murdered and secreted, and
that her body would be found after the ex-
element, caused by her disappearance, had
subsidized. Scandalous reports were afoat
as to her relations with her keeper. Her
body was found last Friday by Duncan
Morrison, near brook about one half mile
south OF Harvey's Mill, in the town of
Orange. The searchers had been in the
immediate vicinity Of the spot, on the expe-
ditions, and 1t is cause of wonder that the
body was not found before. The spot where
the body was found, was very near the
boundary line between Orange and Tops
ham, and was wet, marshy and secluded.
A coroner's inquest was held Saturday, and
a thorough examination of the body and
place is to be given, to ascertain II any evil
dences of foul play can be found. The re-
suit of the inquest is not known Further
developments are awaited with keen inter-
est as deep mystery hangs about the
case. 1t Is, however, accepted by many
that she aimlessly wandered off and was
starved. or froze TO death.
