NUMBER 141

PECULIAR ILLNESS Howard County Girl Has Ailment That Baffles Physicians. One of the moat peculiar eases in the history of the Indiana physicians is the case of Mias Stella Peters, the nineteen year old girl who resides on the Miranda farm, two miles east of the little village of Hemlock, in Taylor township, Howard oounty, and who for two weeks has been lying in a semiconscious condition. She seems to know everything that is said to her, with firmly compressed lips refu-es to even move a muscle of her face. Dr. W. H MoClueg, of Kckotno, and Dr. DeWesse, of Hemlock, made a thorough diagnoaia, but found that the affliction the girl is attacked with to be very much of a puzzle. They however, say that in many oases this sort of stupor-like attitude is but the prelude to a serious attack of illness, such as severe cases of fever. They also state that her condition may lie the result of a severe shock which has unbalanced her mind. This last may be apparent as her condition dates back to the time two weeks ago when an attempt was made to assault her cousin. Charles Sutton, a oousin <i l a former sweetheart. The mys terious case of the young lady serves to recall the fact that two years while returning home Francis Sutton, the sweetheart of Miss Peters, either commited suicide or was murdered, as his body was found in the pasture in front of the Peters home early the next morning. Several other mysterious attempts of assault have been made since then, but the guilty ]>artiea could never be located. Chai les Sutton was the last would-be victim, and it is thought that the occurrence together with the worry of two years has brought on the terrible malady from which the young lady is suffering. She has been coaxed and even threatened to speak but she remains as ever silent. The case of the voung lady is puzzling the physicians and all in. diana is watchng eagerly the case that is proving so mysterious to all who happen in contact with it. SURPRISING FACT Geneva Has Record For Long Block Over Two Squares of Buildings Unbroken by Alleys or Otherwise—Terra Haute Has Second Record. (Special Correspondence.) There are very few people in this oounty, in fact there are some in Geneva who are ignorant of the fact that the largest unbroken line of brick tusiness rooms in the state is to to be found here. This line of buildingsis over two blocks long and is composed of twenty-four business rooms. It was built immediately after the big tire which brought Geneva out of her long sleep. Before the tire there was an alley way dividing the line, but the new buildings were erected just at the time of the big oil boom when business was so rushed that the owners needed more room and so done away with the alley. Some people think that, should ever a big fire break out in any of the buildings it woulld be haid work to keep it from taking the whole string. There is no danger at all from this because, if anything like that should happen, there are sevoral places where dynamite may be used as the walls are not joined, but simply stand one anainst the other. The next longest stretch of brick wall is found in Terre Haute,
