One horse turned compile summersaut oil

Il CRAZY W0MAN.-An insane Wo-
man unable to give any particular account
of herself arrived in the city from Milwau
kee by one of the evening trans on last
Saturday evening. She was not only in a
demented mental condition, but appeared
sickiy and. weak, with her nervous system
terribly out of order. Her situation was
such that she was taken in charge by our
city authorities and medical assistance pro-
cured During Sunday she escaped from
the officer having her in charge. and wan
deredas far as Fuerman 5 hop yard, a short
distance west of the city, but was taken
back to her stopping place. From docu-
ments in her possession, and from what
could be CLEANED from her remarks it would
appear that she had been an inmate of the In
sane Asylum at Toronto for three months. A
short time since she started from Peters
borough, Canada, there size claims to have a
sister residing, TO join her husband in the
Red River country of the North She had
on her ptISULI dUOuL 90U IN canada money,
some jeweIry, aud railroad ticket for St.
Paul, at which point she would be in
care of Hill, Griggs & Co., who it would
seem were to see that she was placed on
the proper route for the Red River country.
The woman gives her name as Mary Jane
Hall and is a tall, large framed person, not
unprepossessing in appearance, but bears evil
deuce Of long sickness in her countenance
She recovered sufficiently on Monday to
proceed On her journey, although both in
mind and body she was far from being fit
to travel alone, and Deputy Marshal Rich
art saw her safely on board tie after
noon train for La Crosse. How the
relatives and friends Of this unfortunate
woman, or those having her ia charge,
could allow her to undertake the long journ-
ey that is before her, in Der present sad
condition, is more than We can imagine.
