Or. Sheppard And Architect McCarty
Visit The Institution
Thursday

DR.. A. F. Sheppard. of the state
board of administration, and Mr.. Nc
Carly, a Columbus architect, visited
the Ohio State Sanatorium Thursday
to plan the location Of new build
ing, for which $4,000 was appropriat-
ed by the general assembly two years
ago.
DR.. Sheppard and Mr.. McCarty spent
most of the morning looking over the
grounds, but did not decide definitely
on any location.
The building which is to be erected
is to be a hospital and will give the
sanatorium a wider scope and will
make it less difficult to cope with some
of the problems which confront the au-
thorities.

Student Held
Up BY negroes
ON gambler ST.
Carl Shields Relieved Of
Watch And So
GRABBED NEAR ALLEY
BurIy Colored Men Work Systemati-
caIIy And Effectively, One Hold
ing And The Other Rifiing

With one colored man holding him,
Carl Shields, student of the Mt.
Vernon Business college, was help
less to keep a second colored man
from going through his pockets and
relieving him of So in money and an
expensive gold watch Wednesday
evening about 1880 o'clock while he
was passing the alley that adjoins the
Keefer meat shop on East Gambler
street The incident was reported to
the police and search was institut-
ed for the men, but Of no avail, as
they skipped clean.
Shields home is at Morgan Center,
but while attending business college
here he is a boarder at the home of
Mrs. AIDA Hampshire on South Cath
crime street. He had spent the even
ing in the business section of the city
as was his custom and was returning
to his place Of rooming when the hold
up occurred.
Passing the alley adjoining Keef-
ers meat shop, Shields was grabbed
by a great, burly colored man and
was held in tight grip while the 9th
er went through his pockets, obtain
ing an expensive gold watch and SO
In money. Having been relieved of
these articles, Shields was headed
east on Gambler street and instructed
to pursue his way home as quickly as
possible. This order was obeyed with
little hesitation on the part OF
Shields, as he was no match for the
two big colored men.
Arriving at his rooms, Shields noti-
fed the police department of the
hold-up and requested that search
be made by the police for the foot
pads. The vicinity of the Pittsburgh
Plate Glass works was secured and
revealed nothing, as did the two rail-
( way stations when they were search
ed.
Probably one of the reasons why
the police were unsuccessful in their
attempts to locate the two men was
because no description of them could
be obtained from Shields, his eyes
having been carefully kept to the
front by the men.
A sharp lookout will be kept fol
the men who committed the hold-uI
and possibly they may be discovered
but 1t is not likely.

Coroner Officially S VS.
Cause Is Unknown
CASE MOST BATTLING
Science Defied In Attempts To Pene-
trate into The Reasons For The
Sudden Demise Of Little
Girl And illness OF
Her Parents

The last chapter in the mysterious
death of Pauline Grubb, aged 13, has
been recorded with the filing of the
inquest of DR.. G w. Miller, which
was filed with ]. v. Finney, clerk of
courts yesterday, says the Mansfield
Shield.
The words, cause Of death un-
known" contained in the inquest
leaves unsolved probably the most
mysterious death that local authori-
ties had to deal with in many years.
1t will be remembered that on the
night of Dec. 16 last, Pauline Grubb
was found dead at the home of her
parents, 116 1-2 North Main street,
while the mother, Mrs. Mollie Bro
kaw, and the stepfather, Clyde Bro
kaw, were in an unconscious condi-
tion.
The stepfather regained conscious
ness the same night but he was un-
able to give local police authorities
any information that might lead to a
solution of the mysterious death Of
the one member of the family and
the serious condition of the father
and mother.
1t was several days later before the
mother even had brief periods of con-
seriousness and she, as the husband,
was unable to give authorities any in
formation that might eventually lead
to some solution of her daughters
death.
DIR. G. w. Miller, coroner at the
time, ordered the stomach of the dead
girl removed and the contents sent to
the state chemist at Columbus. After
an exhaustive examination the analy-
sis failed to show any trace of poison
with the result that local authorities
practically gave up any hope they
might have had tending to solve the
cause of the death of the daughter
and the serious illness of father and
mother.
