Made Sane by GAJisnip!e
1Omaha Herald.

On the train yesterday was Miss lehman
of Milwaukee, who was sent West in chars &c
of her mother in the hope that the change
might avert threatened brain troubles. When
near Laramie, Miss lehman jumped from
the car window. 1t was some time before
she was missed, and after telegraphic inqui-
~ she was heard from at Laramie, where she
had been taken by the crew Of a freight train.
In jumping, Miss lehman fell in front of
the train, and was terribly bruised, but to
just what extent is not yet known, The fall
seems to have cleared her brain, for she was
as bright, mentally yesterday as any woman.
