A REMARKABLE STORY

Mt. Clemens, Mich., March 9. A week ago, Mrs. Charles Bollensen, a women of 70 years, suddenly expired- it was supposed of heart disease. He death was announced and the funeral took place, Tuesday. The life-like appearance of the body excited much comment, which increased rather than diminished after the burial. Finally the interest grew so intense that it was thought best to disinter the body. This was accomplished, Thursday afternoon, the body having been in the grave two days and two nights. It still bore the same life like appearance. It was placed in a room in which the temperature has been kept at 75. Not the slightest indication of decomposition is apparent, and physicians declare themselves unable to determine whether Mrs. Bollensen is alive or dead. The case has created much excitement.
