MRS. MACOMBER IS FRAUD
THAT is WHAT THE POSTMASTER
GENERAL SAYS OF HER.
is NORFOLK ASYLUM INMATE

The Letters Bearing on Matrimony
and Received Hereafter by Woman
Patient From Tilden, Will be Re-
turned with "Fraudulent" on Them.
Mrs. Ida Irish Macomber, the insane
patient in the Norfolk insane hospital
who used to live at Tilden and whose
father died at Neigh some time ago,
can no longer use the United States
mails. Her many matrimonial vic
tins, from whom she is said to have
received engagement rings, money,
dress patterns, and the like, have at
last been the cause of closing the
postoffice to her use. This is an
nounced in a telegram from Washing
ton, which tells of fraud order that
has just been issued by the postmaster
general.
1t will be recalled that year or so
ago Mrs. Macomber advertised in pa
pers throughout the country, claiming
to own much land, and stating that
she was a candidate for matrimony.
In reply to the ads. she received hun
dreds of letters from all over the coun-
try, many of them containing jewelry
and money
She was at that time an inmate in
the Lincoln hospital, having been TAX
en- there from Norfolk when the fire
burned the institution here. She gave
her address as Asylum, Neb.," and
the officials at the hospital had no
authority, under the laws of the state,
to prevent her getting mail Being in
sane, she could not be prosecuted as
fraud. And so a request was sent
to the postmaster general asking that
an order restricting her from the use
of the mails, be issued.
Saturday that order was issued and
hereafter all letters which come to
her bearing on matrimony will be
marked, Fraudulent" and returned to
the writer's.
A few months ago Mrs. Macomber
was removed to the Norfolk institu-
ton from Lincoln, and she is now
here. Her real name is Ida Irish but
she assumed the title of Mrs. Macon.
Der when DIR. Macomber, who was en-
gagged to be married to her, succumbed
few days before their wedding date.
Dr. Macomber was found dead in bed
one morning and it was said by those
who roomed with him that, having too
many matrimonial propositions on
hand, he ended his woes with suicide
by the morphine route.
Later the young woman, claiming
her name to be Mrs. Macomber be-
cause she said that it would have been
that, was brought to the Norfolk in.
sane hospital.
