L.
o'clock Monday night citizen living near
the gas works heard something or some
body splashing water in a stagnant pond
near by, but, concluding that il was occa-
stoned by dogs chasing rats, he paid no
further attention to it. When he got up at
O'Clock in the morning, however he was
astonished to see an old man, about so years
of age, standing perfectly still in the CEN
ter of the pond, where he had evidently
been all night with the water above his
knees. The citizen inquired what he was
doing there, and received answer: None
of your - business" The reply rather
moderated the citizens zeal to assist. but
further observation convinced him that the
stranger was insane, and he proceeded to
get him out and then convey him to the
furnace-room of the gas works, where he
had opportunity to get warm and dry his
clothing. He refused to give his name or
to state where he came from. In answer
to inquiry, he said that he went into the
pond because the Divine power directed
him to, and that the power" would not
let him leave the water nor call for assist
ance. Officers Rider and Farrell, when in
formed of the facts, went down to the gas
works with vehicle and conveyed the old
gentleman to the county Jail, where he will
be examined Tor insanity.
