A Mailman at BAy-A Desperate Struggle
 With LunatIe.
 PARIs Oct. 28.-A terrible drama took place Friday at CIichy Ia Garenne which near ly cost the lives of six unfortunate police agents and produced much excitement in the neighborhood. On Thursday afternoon Mme Trezel, the wife Of joiner, living at No. Impasss Lacombe, made application to M. Pourrat, the local Oommissary of Police. in which she informed that functionary that her husband, who had formerly been in a iunatic asylum, was again the prey of vio- lent and dangerous attack of mania She added that for several days she had been in fear of her life, and that the strain was be- coming too terrible Her husband was 8 peril not only to her, but to the whole neigh borhood. Inquiries were made, and as the description of Mme. Trezei was found to be correct it was decided to take the unhappy man by force to the asylum of St. Anne. Trezel seems to have had some presentiment of what was coming, for he barricaded him. self in his room on the ground floor. Two agents Vho had been sent to capture him were reduced to the alternative of en- eok1u8 Dy ennAa4 W14uOH. cehL4nS tAas they would be unable to master Trszel, they returned to the commissaEiat, and six naore agents in priyate clothes were despatched to the scena of action. The door was forced open, but the madman sprang forward with q large knife, cutting and hacking all around with murderous fury. Six agents were ae- yarely wounded, and retreat was hastily beaten ImnediateIy after the wounded men had been dragged out of the room Trezel again shut the iooe and berricaded it. He was then seen through the window seated upon the floor with his hands strained with the blood of his victims. M. Pourrat endeavor- ed to persuade Trezel to accept glass of wine, in which was a narcotic, through the window The Iunatic refused. Shortly afterward he voluntarily broke the blade of his knife and the door was again forced. This time the struggle was successful and Trezel was S. cured, bound and manaclsd. He was taken of in private carriage to the asylum of St Anne The injured agents are: M. Tar dieu, severely cut across the artery of the right arm IT. Ducret, who has terrible gaah over the right eye; M. Vast, stabbed between the shoulders; M. Tfeard. stabbed 2 in the hand similar injury being inflicted upon M. Chapelle. secretary of M. PouErat.
