Malica Adams, aged 10, after four
years, has been restored 10 her uncle

his daughter 10 the leader OF a band

The child wife became a palmist, but
finally tired of the gypsy customs. At
Harvey, ILL.,, she learned that her uncle
and aunt, Alexander and Mary Adams,
were residing in Grand Rapids. She
did not like her life and ran away to
join them. She was taken in charge
by officers, with her uncle, Alexander
Adams. a week ago. She has been
indicated of the charge preferred
against her by Joe Stephens, another
Servian gypsy.
Stephens charged her with the lar
ceny of $500. but it developed that the
grounds for making the charge were
based solely on the girls absence. She
was sold to him for the sum named
by her father and was the star fortune
teller of the camp. She has papers

RESCUED FROM GYPSIEs
Most Marvellous Case Known to Med
icai Annals-Girl Sold to Gypsy Es-
capes.
Pierced His Brain.

Thomas w. Brockman, OF Bailey.
Mich, died in Hackley hospital, Mus
kegon, from injuries caused by fall-
ing tree while numbering. His case
has been one OF the most marvellous
known in medical annals. For over
six weeks he has lived with hole two
inches in width piercing his skull and
with great portion of his brain re-
moved. The accident in which he was
injured occurred at Beechwoods and
was caused by falling tree crashing
on his brain When picked up he still
lived after receiving injuries sufficient
to have killed any man instantly.
Brought TO the hospital in an ambu-
lance IL was found on examination that
small block of wood and two inches
Of cap cloth were lodged In his brain.
An operation TO remove these was tenn
porarily successful, but few days ago
unforeseen complications set in.
Local physicians, as we'll as out OF
town experts, are deeply disappointed
at Brockman's untimely death as II
was thought his case might prove eX-
traordinary in surviving the operation.
Brockman was young man but Is
years of age and leaves his parents,
two brothers and sister, all residing
at Bailey.
