There was unusual eommotion In ono Of tho
railway trains from Evanston yesterday morn
ing when, without notice or provocation, a we'll
known character named Freeman turned upon
que of Evanston's leading citizens, Mr..
s. YOU'RE q thief and liar; you ought
to be in the PenitentiarY, you villain,
you; you want to rob me, you old thief,'' etc.
To those who knew Freeman and had heard his
rawlings before, and knew that he insanely haE-
bored the insane notion TINT q coterie OF such
men as Lunt, Pnrington, Taylor, and Others
we're seeking to rob Linn OF his property, the
scene was no surprise To others twas a genu-
Inc sensation. IF Mr.. Freeman's insanity on
this subject there would seem to be DO doubt
He has frequently made these charges, talks
wildly upon the subject, but never gets
down to any details in what would
be grave SANDER coming from sane
man. He has frequently assaulted Mr. E. S.
And Jet his townsmen, knowing his weakness,
have resrained from legal or other means Of re-
dress. He has been known to lie inwait for tue
foes OF his faacT. and always carries q heavy
cane. But the result OF this last matinee prom
iscs to be more serious, as Mr.. Lunt took pains
to call the attention OF people In the ear to Mr..
Free!nan's manner and language, saying that he
had stood that sort OF uup}easantpeS5 about as
long as he could; that be thought him Il dan
gcrous man, and that he should make proper
complaint, on affidavit, to have Freeman ar
rested and examined on the charge Of insanity.
