\ CRAZY MAN YIELDS A MURDER
Gus AK.

Last Saturday morning an insane man by
the name of O. d. Jensen, after striking
down young woman named Annie McCuen
with an AK, and intiicting terrible and pro-
badly fatal wound upon her head shouting,
at is a blood atonement," took to the street
and brandishing his weapon, drove, pell NELL,
at all whom he met. Says the Sentinel of
Sunday:
The noise had attracted the attention of
Mr.. Lambert, who was Ill his store on the
opposite side of the street, and he ran across,
entering the kitchen door just as the maniac
had delivered the fearful blow. He shouted
to him to stop, when Jensen swung the ak
over his head and made pass at him, giving
him close call, the blade cutting his panta-
looms from the thigh to the knee, and Just
grazing the flesh Lambert Immediately ran
out into the street shouting murder, the crazy
man in full pursuit. 1t was a tight race, and
would have ended disastrously to John had
not man named Dill pulled a pistol and
checked Jensen for a moment. Bmg Viii
Hams was the next man that attracted his
notice, and he made blow at him. Williams
stumbled and fell, and the ak blade struck be-
tween his legs i'll the ground. He sprang to
his feet, which he gained just in time to re-
ceive glancing blow on the head inficting
u severe but not dangerous wound Mr..
Jenkins now interfered, Selling and throwing
him to the ground and John Abrams, adj
vancing with double barleled shotgun, dis
charged a load of buckshot into his right
thigh, and another in the calf of his leg.
This brought him to terms, and he gave up
the struggle A big crowd had gathered by
this time, and a disposition was shown to
lynch Jensen at once Better counsels pre-
vailed, and he was brought to town and
lodged in Jail.
The same paper adds the following:
The man Jensen is a well known character
in and around Eureka He has been pos
sessed with religious mania for the past
year, and was, in fact, arrested and COM
mitted on a charge of insanity, but his de
meanor and general behavior was mild and
gentle, and people were disposed to laugh at
his absurdities, and regarded himas harmless.
This very dangerous mailman is to be sent
to Stockton, forthwith.

The Chinese contractors commenced work

that no trouble will ensue between these Chi

this matter, to have full respect for the laws
of our land, and the protection which these
laws guarantee to every one within these

Sale of Widows.

A century ago the authorities of a
town in Massachusetts, hit upon an in
genious expedient for disposing of their
widows who were tax upon the town.
IL started a pauper traffic by selling the
poor annually at vendue" and il con-
tinued this business during many years.
In January, l776, the Widow Lowell was
added TO the annual list, and at a ven
due the said Widow Lowell was struck
oil TO Josiah Stevens for TO keep one
year for the sum of nine pounds six
shillings; and if she did not live the
year, he to have in that proportion. The
Widow LovelPs disposition was very
migratory. Although sold and bought
for years service, the buyer seems to
have considered her bad bargain, liter
ally, for in few months Joshua Briggs
had her in his house, and also had n bin
OF fourteen pounds against the town for
keeping and clothing her. She became
an expensive property to the town.
After considerable knocking about she
finally died, and was buried at the
towns expense. BIT one of these wild
ows, Jane George by name, seemed de-
termined not TO die, but lived on until
she outlived all who had been her con-
temporaries. Through nearly two gen
erations the standing inquiry among
farmers was, Who's going to buy
Georgep' 1t passed into saying; and
thus BY Georgew became the town
expletive. In 1906 she was sold for
sum equal to about ten pounds. She be-
gan to be one of the towns poor in 1859.
and was set up on sale for the last time
I'm 1903. The town was pleased with the
business, and persistently voted not to
build poor-house on every occasion
when il was proposed. The widows
gradually increased in number, and they
were sold TO the lowest bidder, every
year, without any expression of senti-
ment. Thus, in December, 1908, it was
voted to sell the widow Of the late
Jonathan Percy, and child, and also one
COW and one heifer." In this children
were sometimes rated with cattle, and
separated from their mothers, thus sever
ing all family ties. This method of dis
pos ng of the towns poor may have
been good one under the circumstances
of the times, but it was accompanied by
some acts which must be considered ms
scandalous TO any community that
favored them, and which tended to de-
stroy all family affection.

A Nearly Fatal Joke,

The trick of shutting a spring-lock
door on a friend in tight closet or wall
safe, Is pleasantly that has more than
once been followed by serious conse-
quences. 1t is strange that iokers will
continue to perpetrate 80 thoughtless n
species OF waggery. The ST. Louis
EreniRg Post thus relates the narrow es-
cape of one who suffered from it:
Clarence Newcomb, son of ex-United
states Marshal Newcomb, stepped few
days ago into the vault attached to the
office OF Donergan q Thiel, of the De
tectiye Agency, where he is interested.
The vault IS used for the ST. ring away of
valuable books, papers etc. A gentle
man who was in the Office at the time
closed the door upon NewcOmb by way
of a practical joke.
Then the practical Joker went out
exulting in the funny plight in which
his victim must find himself when he
discovered that he could not get out.
Mr.. Newcomb could not hear any
sounds from the outside, and wondered
what had become of his friend. He tried
to cry out, but knew that his voice. even
