HE WAS CRAZY.
The Man Who Shipped Himself to
ST. Louis in q Trunk.

CHICAGO, March Thomas r
Vines, the clerk who had himself
shipped in a trunk to st. Louis with
s4,062, stolen from his employers,
Adams, Westlake IL Co, was TODAY
tried for the act. The defense was in
sanity. DR., Fenger testified that less
than year ago Vines nose was injured
in Sparring match. The organ was
properly dressed, but the patient
seemed extremely nervous. and ex-
pressed great fear that his beauty would
be forever spoiled. "He called on me
again." said the witness, land insisted
upon my performing another operation.
He was morbidly sensitive, and it was
in vain that | told him that 10 operation
was necessary. | finally had to re-
set the nose in order to quiet him, but
short time later he again called on me
and wanted me to attend to the matter
once more. He was almost insane
then and thought of nothing else but
his injury. | tried to convince him that
no further operation was necessary, but
it was no use, and to save his mind I
had to operate on him again. DIR.
Clevenger, an insanity expert, testified
that he had visited Vines frequently in
the Jail, and the young mans actions
showed that he was insane. His con-
duct after his Jury alone tended to
show this. The jury was out but few
minutes and returned a verdict to the
effect that Vines was guilty as charged,
but was insane at the time and had not
yet recovered. The court ordered that
he be sent to the Kankakee asylum and
there kept until cured.

CALGARY, n. w. t., March IA
profound sensation was created last
night when the report was circulated
that the mutilated body of a squaw had
been found in a room over the Turf
Club saloon. The case is a shocking
one. Chief Dillabough was patrolling
Stephen avenue about 9 o'clock last
evening when he was accosted by
welI-knOwn character named William
Fisk, commonly known as Jumbo"
Fisk, who appeared greatly excited,
told the chief he had come to give him

been spending some time with dis
solute squaw in room in the Turf
club. and that she had died on his
hands. The chief at once took charge
of the man, and proceeded with him to
the Turf club. On entering the room
some blood stains were noticed
son the walls. while the body of the
squaw lay spread on a bed. The bed
was saturated with blood, and there
were stains as if made with blood
smeared hands on the wall beside the
bed. The only wound on the body re-
vealed by hasty examination was
CHASTITY wound in the abdomen, appar-
emily more of tear than cut made by

he had been spending the greater part

The men were at work in the building
at the time, and all went to the rescue;
besides. the entire population of the
city turned out to suppress the flames,
but, owing to the lack of water facili-
ties and the pitch pine material out of
which the mill was constructed, moth
ing could be done to stay their progress.
In two hours from the time the fire
was first discovered the entire plant
was in ruins. The plant had just been
completed about two months ago at
cost of 100000, and the first cleanup
was to have been made to-day, which
would in large measure have deter
mined the success of the new process.
So far as known the process was work

Special to the Globe.
MANSON, To-, March 1.-The little
town of Rockwell City, the county seat
of this county, is in ferment over re-
cent revelations of outrages committed
by Rev. j. N. Buffum, pastor of the M.
E. church, upon little boys. The pas
tors wife has been absent for some
time, and he has been in the habit of
inviting young men and boys of the
town to stay at the parsonage and sleep
with him. This had been going on for
some time, when Sundry rumors caused
an investigation. The trustees of
the church were called together
and closely questioned the boys.
and found to their horror
that he had been in the habit of teach
ing them nameleSS indecencieS and
crimes that would put to shame the
most braZen. The evidence was so
strong and overwhelming that the trus
tees called on Mr.. Buffum and told him
to prepare to leave. the quicker the bet
ter.
Tuesday night he left the town ON a
freight train. fearing that he would not
be safe to remain, longer. Wednesday
SVcLiiiS Iie returned, bringing IreSluliiS
Elder Walker with him. A church
trial was at once instituted, when Buff
fun made full confession of his guilt,
and begged forgiveness. The outraged
sense of the members, however, could not
condone his offense, and he was
dismissed in disgrace from the church,
and his license to preach revoked. The
people of the town are very indignant,
and loud threats have been heard. The
church people feel very keenly the dis
grace, and their prompt action in di-
vesting Buffum of his clerical garb is
commended. His wife, who is a refined
lady, and who has the sympathy of all,
stays with him in his trouble.
Buffum is chaplain of the Iowa grand
lodge, Sons of Veterans, and has here
tofore been respected in the community
as an earnest Christian man and a good
citizen.
