Mrs. Mccarthy, mother of Patrick Nc
earthly, the station agent at North Ben
nington, died Sunday night. A sad cir
cumstance was that, though Mrs. McCar-
thY's house is in sight of the depot, where
he was waiting for the night express
train, he could not leave his post to 90 to
the death bed of his mother. The two
other persons who could have taken his
place had been called out of town to the
sick-bed of their mother.-IrOy Times.
Charles Noyes of Wheelock is in crit
cal condition with an arm terribly swollen
from blood poison. The origin of the
trouble is peculiar. Some three weeks
ago Noyes and John Miles, quandum
peacher, were in excited conversation.
and Noyes attempted to enforce his views
by striking Miles in the face. The blow
took effect in Miles mouth and one of
his teeth entering one of NOyes' knuckles,
cutting deep cash. Noyes was punish
ed next day by fine and cost amount
ing to about $l4. A further punishment
is now added by swelling of the arm
which inflicted the blow. and the doctors
pronounce the case very serious.-Moni-

A CRAZY WOMAN,

Capture of m Insane Stranger on the
Prairie in Hand County
Hand County Press.
A very remarkable case of insanity has
been in change of the town authorities
here for some time. which tho Press has
made mention of before. However. re.
porter called at P. Hartong's house Mon
day morning, where she is in charge, and
cleaned few interesting particulars Of
the unfortunate woman which We give
as follows: She was brought to Miller
Sept. 10th, by Commissioner Duthie. near
whose place, in l11.69, she was found
wandering aimlessly over the prairie.
She stubbornly refuses to talk and it is
utterly impossible to learn who she is or
where she is from. About week prior to
her discovery by Mr.. Duthie, she stopped
about dinner time at Mr.. Bakers house
few miles from Mr.. Duthie and asked
for dinner. She was invited to sit down
with the family but refused saying she
preferred to eat alone. After she had
finished her meal she pulled out quite o
handful of money and offered to pay,
which was promptly refused by Baker.
She refused to talk but asked to work
for $500 per week. This was refused
and she soon left. The Press reporter
asked permission to trv his ekill at IN.
ducing her to talk, and Mr.. Hartong
kindly led him into her presence and
left him alone with the woman. There
she lay on bed covered to the crown of
head with heavy bed clothing.
She is a medium sized woman, about
thirty. five years of age, tanned features,
prominent cheek bones, hair light, gray
eyes and when the reporter tlmorously
commenced telling her how he was there
as friend and wanted her to kindly tell
him who she was and where she was
from, she fixed diabellcal gaze on him
for moment that made him quake all
over and as she sprang up in the bed
with "yip' the reporter went "tother
end formost" through the partition
and vanished into the whereness
of the whittier. Mrs. Hartong displayed
some pieces OF clothing belonging
to women with the name
"Findlay" marked on them. Various
articles of clothing indicate the woman
was formerly in good circumstances.
She will not touch meal without first
carefully washing and combing. Her
manners indicate she possessed more
than the average degree of refinement.
/ "A staRe urlVeT 10 WeselngtOn Springs
reports that the same woman was in the
hands of the Jerauld county sheriff for
some two weeks when she made her es-
cape. She is reported to have claimed
at Washington Springs that she had two
brothers living near Woonsocket
and that her husband lived in
England, furthermore that she lost her
reason by attending revival meetings.
We cannot say how true this is. She is
very eharp about her attempts at escap-
ing and has succeeded in getting away
from keeping half dozen times. Being
very fleet footed she has given Hartong
some interesting chases, Last Sunday
she got away and skipping up street she
ran into T. NJ. Wilkins barn where she
hid in the hay. Judge Payne has used
every effort to find where she belongs
but could learn nothing and has there,
fore sent her to the asylum at Yankton.

JOHN MCCULLOUGH.
All His Engagements Cancelled in Cons,
quence of His Break Down.

All His Engagements Cancelled in Conse-
quence of His Break k-DowB.
Chicago, Sept. 3o-Joseph Brooks,
John McCollough's manager, and Mr..
Price, his agent, said this morning that
the tragedian 8 season has been closed =;
that all the dates had been Cancelled and
arrangements made to send the COM
pany back to New York. Both the
gentlemen soy they wished the public
to understand that among the company
and management all feelings of disap-
pointment at personal embarrassment or
loss were smothered in the general regret
for Mr.. McCollongh's pltiable condition.
They said. further, that they were en-
couraged at the beginning of the season
by the fact that the actor was in far bet.
ter condition than he had beeh at the
beginning of the previous season, and
that they had expected that, as he be-
came once more used to acting, it would
prove tonic to his system, as it had
done previously. He had been rehears-
ing very hard all yesterday, and this
caused reaction of his mental trouble,
eliminating in the painful scene of last
night. He would be sent to some friends
in the east. where it is hoped an entire
seasons rest will again restore him to
his wonted vigor. Among the members
of the entire company there was
but one feeling, that OF sincere sympathy
for the afflicted actor. MIR. McCullough's
managers state that the resl trouble is q
physical breakdown of the great trage-
dian. Any other assumption or state.
ment is unjust and untrue. It is init
mated that physical excesses have caused
the present outcome, and this is also de-
olared by them to be not true. They
contend that bis physical condition has
been bad for nearly two years. He
started in last season in almost the same
condition, and his acting appeared to
serve as tonic to him, and he improved
steadily as the season advanced. He
played the part of Virginius all last
week, but in an erratic manner. One of
his performances was highly finished,
and his managers we're encouraged to
feel he would overcome his display OF
weakness and incertitude on other oc.
casions. A change of bill became nee.
cessary. and "The Gladiator" was chosen.
He studied hard rehearsed the part
faithfully, but the result was such as to
make it absolutely necessary that he
should be withdrawn. This decision was
reached without his knowledge, and the
most melancholy feature was that he was
rehearsing the part most assiduously
this morning.

booty, they evidently became enraged,
