REMARKABLE SLEEPING SPELL WHICH
HAS ATTACKED AN INDIANA GIRL
In Con,atose Condition for Four Weeks Pins, Cold
Water and Shouts Can Scarcely
Arouse Her.

Kokomo. Ind-Miss Maude Snow
has completed the fourth week of one
of the most remarkable sleeps in med
ical records She is a resident OF
Jackson township, eastern Howard
county, Indiana, and the daughter of
ID. II. and Mrs. Snow, humble farm
ing folks. Saturday night, four weeks
ago, Misc Snow was seized with
sleepy spell She told her parents
that she would retire for the night.
The next day she had not arisen
late in the afternoon and when her
parents undertook to awaken her she
could not be aroused. Violent meth
DDS were resorted to but without sue
cess. A physician was summoned.
He was unable to tell what was
the matter with the young woman.
Various theories were advanced,
among them that, being of frail con-
stitution, naturally she had broken
down from overstudy. A more SEN
sational surmise was that she had
quarreled with her lover and nervous
worry had produced the strange con-
dition with which she was afflicted.
1t was a fact that she had lover
and that he had gone to Virginia and
that the young woman had taken his
departure very much to heart. If her
condition is due to a lovers quarrel
she has not revealed the fact during
her waking moments.
But none of these conjectures af-
forded a satisfactory explanation of
the condition of the young woman,
who continued to sleep, and all the
doctors summoned to her bedside have
as yet been unable to explain the
case.
She lay like one in a trance. Her
face is chalky white, but her breath
ing is slow and regular. At times
her features assume the innocence of
childhood.
These conditions have led Spiritual
lists and hypnotists to besiege the
parents for experiments. They insist
that the young woman is under trance
control which can be broken and that
she is possessed by a spirit ignorant
Of the conditions with which 1t is sur
rounding her. Hypnotists believe she
Is the victim of a deep and powerful
suggestion TO which she yields imme-
diately after being rudely wakened
from the strange state which en-
thralls her,
The parents are skeptical of all
these things and decline to permit
experiments. Meanwhile Miss Snow
remains in profound slumber. To
arouse her 1t is necessary to prick
her with pins and pour cold water
down her back, first standing her in
an upright position. She is violently
beaten and shouted at. for it Is felt

several weeks ago by making a balloon
ascension on dare. Since then sue
has made six ascensions successfully
An immense crowd had gathered
around the balloon at three ociock III
the afternoon, the balloon was luliy
inflated, and Miss Daley was slltlhe
on the tapeze. Her manager, Charles
Williams, begged the crowd to stanu
back so as to allow the balloon TO Dc
cast off Finally he gave the word anu
the guy ropes were loosened. one U,
the ropes whirled into the crown
and the loop caught about Mrs. roper
The balloon rose rapidly, carrying MIS-
Roper swinging head downward from
the rope. and Miss Daley sitting on
the trapeze. Mrs. Roper gave one
shrek of fright and then was STILL

The crowd was stricken dumb by
the occurrence, but Manager Williams
kept his head and shouted to MISS
DALEY not to cut loose in her para
chute. The latter understood ana was
apparently cool. The guy rope, whlcn
was fastened around Mrs. Ropers leg,
hung from the top of the balloon, ana
she swung by Miss Daley, describing
great areas in the air. The crowd be-
low was frantic, women tainted. and
men shouted themselves hoarse. There
was a stiff south wind, and the gas
bag was carried rapidly northward.
Soon Miss Daley was seen trying
to grasp Mrs. Roper as the latter
swung by her. She finally succeeded
in getting hold of Mrs. Ropers hair.
Then it was seen that the balloon was
descending. The crowd rushed madly
in the direction of the balloon. Men,
women and children climbed fences
and rushed wildly through the fields
and woods. Miss Daley, still holding
Mrs. Roper by the hair, leaped from
the balloon with her when 1t was a
few feet from the ground. She sue
ceeded in throwing off the rope when
the balloon again scared into the
clouds and was lost to view.
Mrs. Roper was carried to the home
of DR.. Alice Divine, where after some
time she recovered consciousness. Her
injuries consist of broken hand and
many cuts and bruises.
It was only short is minutes from
the time the ballo bn went up until the
women were back on the ground, but
to the crowd 1t seemed hours.
