Allegheny, is suffering from terrible
attack of hydrophObia. An officer observed
him acting queerly on River avenue, and
supposing him to be intoxicated, placed him
under arrest and took him to the

the cell he tore the clothing
from his person. howled, yelled, snarled
like dog, frothed at the mouth and butted
his head against the door Of his cell. He
attempted to tear up the bench IN his cell,
and It took several officers to hold him. 1t
was supposed that he was insane, and City
Physician Wright was summoned. Donald
son had quoted down somewhat, and hisre-
moval to his house was ordered. Before the
house was reached he had another attack
more severe than the first Although he
Is of slender build he threw a
couple of men who attempted to. subdue
him, and so great was his strength during
the paroxysm that it required five men to
hold him. Since then he has been piniOned
hand and foot and tied to the bed. His
struggles are fearful to behold. Two years
