A STRANGE CASE
IN AN |NF|RMARY
WOMAN WHO HAS LAIN FOUR
TEEN YEARS ON COT WITH
HER FACE COVERED.
Once Only She Consented to Talk and
Those About Her Saw Her Face
for First Time, But She Refused
to Tell Cause Of Action and Re
sumed Her Old Position.

Warsaw, Ind, June 2y.-Her head
concealed with a sheet and seldom ut
tering a sound, Mrs. Grim, aged Sc
years, has lain for fourteen years on a
cot in the Kosciusko county infirmary,
near Warsaw, with nothing whatever
the matter with her, so far as her rhy-
steal condition is concerned.
Body Without Defect.
Time and again different county ply
sicians have examined her body in
search of some defect, but without re-
suit, and each time they ascertained
that her mind is perfectly clear.
Strangest Case of All.
This Is the strangest case that has
ever come to my attention." said d.. T.
]. Shackleford, the present county ply
stefan, after visiting Mrs. Grim today.
For the first time in two years she al
lowed her head to be uncovered, and
for the first time in the same period
consented to talk.
Has Had Two Husbands.
She gave her maiden name, saying
that she was Mary Ashbrook OF near
Sterling, Ohio; that her first husband
was David Redman, whom she married
in Ohio, and that her second husband
was James Grim of Milford, this coun-
ty. When asked why she had for four
teen years kept a packed suit case
on the edge of her bed, she fell back
on her pillow, covered her head n
refused to speaek again.
Her Longest Conversation.
THAT Is the most the woman has
talked in more than ten years" said
Alva Rockhill, superintendent of the
infrmary, and former Superintendent
Sherman Mickey, who has long been
interested in the unusual case.
Takes No Medicine.
During the fourteen years that she
has reclined on the cot she has had
medicine but once, and this time only
headache tablets. A domestic who
tended the room for more than two
years never saw Mrs. Grim's face.

TRAINING FOR GAME
ON FOURTH OF JULY

The baseball game yesterday, at the
diamond back of the city park, result
ed in a victory for the "Bens." Both
teams showed well, but were a little
out of form, owing to lack Of practice,
which the candidates. who will play
against the Hanna team July 4, will
try and overcome this week. They
will play every evening at the dia-
mond, and any assistance the baseball
enthusiasts of the city a render will
be greatly appreciated, as all the boys
now need is the practice. They have
plenty of material. Brown, McMills,
C.. Barnett, Winfield and Eugene
Smith, who played yesterday, will be
chosen to help win the game. The
Hanna team, which is a very strong
aggregation, has not been defeated
this year, but the Laramie bunch hope

lads have of themselves, on the morn

Surveying For New Line.

Mat Baroch returned from Seminoe
Monday, after looking over some Of
his mining properties there, says the

well as getting into the Sweetwater
valley, where extensive irrigation pro
jects are being worked out.
