Dual Meets Held Saturday
Leaves the State Meet a
Matter OF Doubt
HARD TO PICK a WINNER
brakes Overwhelming Defeat by Amos
Puts the State College We'll to the
Front In Opinion Of the Dopesters-
Ames Iowa Will Meet Next Satur-
day.
Special to Times Republican.

Iowa City, May From the records
made by Iowa athletes in the three
dual and home meets by the five major
state college teams on Saturday of last
week, 1t Is freely predicted here that
the state meet to be held in DeS Moines
the last Of the month will be one of the
most holly contested as we'll as one of
the most interesting in the history of
the association. Ames overwhelmed
Drake University in their dual meet by
10 to 26 and Iowa defeated Normal
three points to one. While the annual
home meet at Grinnell did not deNel-
op any records good enough to attract
any marked attention it is known that
the men are not as far advanced as
the other state college teams and
much was not expected of them. The
dope of the season has all been up
set. Anaes, heretofore considered Il
weak team. showed unexpected
strength and Drake fell down in an un-
expected manner. Grinnell is also
a weak team but while
Normal was smothered by Iowa, the
few athletes that Normal Las got are
practically the best in Iowa in their
events. A better line on the state
teams will be obtained following the
dual meet between Ames and Iowa
which will be held at Ames next Sat
urday

Clinton, May Mrs. Abbie Perham'
of this city, In whose veins courses the
blood of three races the white, black

woman in Iowa; and If her story.

which is borne out by appearance. is
true, she may be the Oldest woman IN
the world. Mrs. Perham asserts that
eral Washington's troops pass her ia
thers cabin. and British soldiers In
endless numbers march by She be-
lieves she is 140 years old, but has lost
the records OF her birth these many
decades
The Clinton centenarian, in whose
appearance the negroid blood is most
manifest, Is bent and feeble with the
weight of her unnatural years, and her
memory is erratic and uncertain, 50
much SO that at times she cannot rec
ollect the names of her parents, who
have been dead more than three quar-
tcrs of a century. Her father was a
half breed Creek Indian named Isaac
Prince. and her mother a full blooded
negro woman. The family lived in the
south, near historic old Tuscumbia.

girlhood days. There were five chill
dren in the family, and these, with the
mother. Mrs. Perham states, were SELF
ed by whites and taken into slavery
while the husband and father was en-
gagged in fighting Indians in one of the
early Indian wars in that region. The
mother died soon afterwards. and the
children never saw their father again.
Soon the children We're separated. and
Mrs. Perham spent many years with q

years old, was taken to st. Louis, and
left two of her sons whom

came north. She lived in various Iowa
cities for years, the longest period at
Keokuk, and came to Clinton thirteen
years ago. Her husband, whom she
married after coming to Clinton, has no
knowledge Of his own age, but must
be half century younger than the
aged negress, If her theories concern
ing her age are correct.
Mrs. Perham can read little in the
Bible, but never received much educa-
ton. She is nearly blind. but her oth-
err senses seem acute, and she shows
no indications of early decadence. Her
face, tho strongly suggestive of the
negro, nevertheless has the high
cheek bones of the Indian and pecu-
liar copper tinge showing thru the
dusky negro skin. Tho infirm and
crippled from rheumatism. the aged
woman cooks her own meals and cares
for the aged man whom she has chosen
as the companion Of her declining
years.
