Special Correspondence of The
Press.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 10
At the age of 80, Mrs. Ann f..

Gridley, killed two years ago by
the explosion OF the battleship Mis-
souri,, is regularly at work as a
clerk in the land office, a subdivi-
sion of the department of the in
terror.
Spry. CHEEKY and without a word
of complaint, Mrs. Gridley keeps
the regular Office hours, and does
the regular work Of those in her
division. She has worked for the
government, almost continuously,
for 80 years. During Cleveland's
administration she was let out; the
records showed that she had serv-
ed as nurse in the Union army. But
President Harrison reappointed
her. and she has been in office
since. Her salary is 5000 a year.
Mrs. Gridley came to Washing
ton from Michigan shortly after the
war. Her husband was Frank
Gridley of Hillsdale, Mich. He had
been engaged in mercantile pur-
suits before the war. but he be.
came a confirmed invalid and Mrs.
Grldley sought employment and
supported both for many years.
She has one son, Lucius e. Grid
ley, for years an employe of the
treasury department, with whom
she lives.
Mrs. Gridley has pension of 500
a month granted her on account OF
her services as nurse during the
civil war. President Roosevelt has
taken a personal interest in Mrs.
Gridley, and has recommended that
congress pass bill increasing her
pension to 800 month, which
would enable her to resign from
office and take a few years rest.
Representative Alden Smith has in.
troduced a bill, but the matter has
failed to attract attention in the
press of ether legislation.

of meat. and then went out for

contents on the table

that he had to force himself to con-

you can judge what relief it was
to me to see a team drive up with
two men in a vehicle and room for
one more. Hhey stopped to water
the horses and chat a few minutes,
and readily gave me lift on my
way. | did not impart any suspic-

the horrible stories came out that

close call | had had.

man as he whipped away with his
pipe to get it alight, "and you may
suppose I have met with some STIR

"On two great OCCASIONS . ate
dinner at the cabin of old Bender,
the Kansas fiend. Ore the first
occasion the old man was away
and | saw only two women about
the place. Six months later when
I called again 1t was about i o'clock
in the afternoon. Then | saw old
Bender for the first timc.
"The same two slatternly women
were about the house and there
was young man whom | took to
be old Bender's son. The young
man disappeared soon after | ar
rived, and whether he hid ~ the
house or rode off a:'oss the prai-
RE | never knew. Bender's women
purchased about 81 worth CT no.

with me an hour before he bought
a gold watch. 1t seems he had
but small stock of cash, but he
offered me personal property in ex-
change. He had three or four sill
yer watches, all of which had been
carried; two or three revolvers,
two bosom pins made of Jumps OF
pure gold and three or four pairs
of valuable cuff butt)n2

after. | took my pack with ne

back room was the kitchen.
81 had my eyes wide opol when
! entered the dining room, and the
very first thing | noticed vas that
the table was set lenthgise of the
room, and that my place had been
so placed that my back would be
toward the kitchen door, which was
not over five or six feet away. Hal
it been at the other end my back
would have been toward the Office
door. The first move | made was
to turn the chair around to the side
and sit down. | now faced the bed

to my right and left, while there
was no window behind me. The

for two or three minutes and thea
