"A WEST VIRGINIA MANS STORY.

A few days since Frank nj. Cottrill,
Of Ellenboro, Richie county, W. Va,
was placed in Jail in Harrisville, a
maniac. The events in the life of
Frank Cottrill, who was born in q
West Virginia village, something
over thirty years ago, equal the de-
tails of a romance. He early chose
the profession of an actor. This call
ing he pursued with zeal. While
travelling lie met Adelaide Gonzales,
an actress. The acquaintance of
the Gwo resulted in marriage on the
Goth day Of July, 1877. The mar
riage was an unhappy one, the cou-
pie living together but a few months.
On the first day Of July, 1882, Frank
Cottrill, through his attorney, P. w.
Morris, instituted proceedings for a
divorce, on the grounds of desertion,
against his wife. On the 18th of
November Judge Stealey rendered a
decree, granting the divorce. The
action was resisted by the wife, and
during the tendency of the suit, she
fled very curious answer.
Another lady appears upon the
scene in March, 1888. At the resi-
dence CT Robert McNair, manager of
Woods Opera House, st. Paul, MIN
nesota. Frank Cottrill, Of that thea
tire, was married to Miss Bessie
Clark, Of the Madison Square Hazel
Kirk Company. The succeeding
summer the pair came to ElIenboro.
In the fall Frank announced that
both had secured profitable engage.
ments in New York, which had been
his ambition, and thither.they went.
From that city he returned last Au.
gust alone, broken in health and dis
couraged, expressing fears as to his
intellect, complaining OF the dread
ful noise of the great metropolis.
His wife secured an engagement
with the company playing Wanted,
a Partner
Frank apparently recovered his
health, but, short time ago, he was
seized with terrible commissions, and
Immediately became violently insane.
There being no room at the asylum
for him, he is now imprisoned
in Jail, in an iron cage, almost I'M
manageable, raying of hell and its
torments, and the mastery of its
master over him.

PETER GIMLET.


Napoleon Bonaparte Bouton is the
high sounding name Of a huge Ken
tuckian Of the Blue Grass country.
Bouton is a carpenter and first
rate one, but his name is too elabor-
ate for the primitive people among
whom he lives. They shortened it
formerly to Nappy" ard sometimes
to "Bony," but of late, owing to his
occupation he has been, and is, uni
yersally known as i" Peter Gimlet,n
and half the people round there
don't know he has any other name.
Peter has an awful temper. When
be gets mad he begins to talk gent
", for the purpose Of keeping his
temper down, but as he talks, his
temper rises, and when he gets a full
head Of steam on, his voice is like
half dozen hurricanes and he is
distinctly heard, SO report says, in
the adjoining counties.
He has been troubled for several
years with an ingrowing toe nail on
the great toe of the right foot. It's
an uncomfortable aiIment and Peters
temper. never very good, was always
at its worst when the toe gave him
an extra turn. Early last year
while he was chopping in the woods,
his toe nail was particularly agra
waiting. "Gosh durn we, I'llfx ye,'
said Peter. He took off his boot and
stocking, put his foot mp on stump,
and with q broad chisel and malIet,
at one blow took off the offending
member.
A little branch of the femoral ar
terry supplies that portion of the hu-
man anatomy, and Peter came near
bleeding to death, but be used what
rough surgery be could, or rather
what rough dressing he could apply
= goodness knows the surgery was

off, blood poisoning set in, and every
one of the neighbors expected that
before summer Peter would fill six
feet or thereabonts of Kentucky soil.
One day last fall a neighbor who
had been out west looking at new
land, riding along, discovered Peter
splitting fence rails, as tall and mus
cular as ever. "Why Peter" said
he, dismOuDting, "I'm glad to see
you. Didn't peg out after all, eh?
