The woman's insanity was as violent as
it was recent. She threw one of her
children through a half-open window
and seemed anxious that the babe
should follow. 1t took the muscular
persuasion of three strong men to con-
vince her that it was not the proper
thing to do. She finally became so furi-
ous that her keepers were compelled to
bind her, hand and foot, and sew her
securely in strong blanket. In this
condition she was taken below.

and now the very best
hing our Democratic friends can do
or US. before they step down and our,
8 to undo that wrong. The city is
Brigham, the depot is Brigham, the
commercial business is Brigham, but
he .postoffice is Box Elder, and there is
carely day passes but that complica-
ions arise because of this confoundinp

Cider Station, U. P. Railway, Kansas, or |

ay it, and so it goes. We want our old |
anne (the name by which we were
restored to US through the |
ostofice department, and we want it |
