A LUNATIC.
John Ardrie, an Insane Man, Loose
In the Weods-Taken by Friends.


Monday afternoon as the Wa
bash passenger train bound East,
stopped at the depot, q man, neatly
dressed. and appearing respectable,
got off the train and asked q LxDaEs
reporter the distance to Rush Hill.
On being told, he remarked that he
would have to walk the distance.
THIS led to inquiry and the facts fol-
lowing were obtained: John Ardrie,
a man living in Michigan, and who,
at times, suffered from mental abber-
alton, started from his home to visit
relatives id Kansas City. Not arriy-
ing at his destination at the proper
time, an investigation followed, and
it vas discovered that a man of Ar
dries description left the train at
Rush Hill a few days ago: The gen.
tleman above named, j. W. Brown,
Of Kansas City, knowing Ardrie's
mental condition, accordingly came
to this city yesterday to look for his
missing relative. He left on foot for
Rush Hill, and, as we learned this
morning, found Ardrie between this
city and that place, at a farm house
near the railroad. He was IN his
right mind but did not remember
having left the train. The two gen.
tlemen left on the 8 o'clock c. & A.
train for Kansas City. 1t appears to
us that q man in Ardrie's condition
should not travel alone, as it may
some time result in his death.

LADDoNIA, Oct. 26.-The fair given at

bic he may prove himself innocent, as no

that a man answering the description OF

ID. L.. Kincaid.

The following extract we produce
from the Christian Leader, edited by
Mr.. John F. Rowe, formerly of the
american Christian Review. We do
this for the reason that Mr.. Rowe
has figured in this case and this
seems to be his last, best and most
mature %utterance, and it is an attempt
on his part to do what he thinks in
simple justice to Elder Klncaid,
whom he denominates a prosecuted
man:
The following letter relates to the
Christian standing of Bro. D. L.
Kincaid. While at Carrollton, Mo-,
Bro. Gilmore and myself had a con-
ference with Bro. Kincaid, and after
examining this letter Of vindication
from the elders and deacons of the
Perry congregation, and, after learn.
ing some other facts not known to
the public, we arrived at the conclu'
| sion that Bro. K. was a prosecuted
man, and that many Of the reports il
circulation relating to his conduci
have been put in circulation by hi
personal enemies. Bro. K. is a mar
of talent and a very successful evang
elist. He is very anxious to be il
the field and at work. As no charge
of criminality have been sustained
against him, and as he is ready t.
meet his ccusers face to face, it i
certainly wrong to condemn . mai
under such circumstances. Let hi
future conduct prove the consistenc.
and sincerity Of his private and pub
lie ayowais,

Young Dohe, now in jail for bur-

culiar circumstances. It seems that
he and his partner had planned to
steal horses, by going to a livery
stable, hiring a rig, and not return

was to hire the livery outfit in Mon
roe City, which he did, and after
driving some distance, he fell asleep.
The horses, guided by a natural in
stinct, started home, arriving at the
stable just in time for the officers, who
had received notice Of the Laddonia
