WOMAN LOSES HER WAY HOME
New in City, She Starts Calling and Can Not Tell Her Address
INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 20 -- Unable to tell her address in the city, Mrs. Mary Shriber was compelled to spend last night in the police station, while the entire police force made an effort to find her home.
She said she had lived at her present address for only a short time and for that reason did not remember where her home is.
The woman was taken to the police station by a merchant policeman after a woman living in the eastern part of the city had gone several hours trying to find Mrs. Shriber's home for her. Mrs. Shriber called at the house after she was lost.
She said that a few months ago she and her children moved to Indianapolis from Brookville and that she had been ill nearly all of the time since she had been here.
Yesterday, Mrs. Shriber concluded to call to a friend whom she though lived on Massachusetts Avenue, but was unable to locate her. When darkness came, she was unable to find her way home again.
