A LIVELY CHARGE.
DR.. W. e. Elwel1 Is Travelling with
Fifteen Crazy Men.

A strange company passed through
Portland yesterday It consisted of DR..
W. E. Elwell, of the National Soldiers
Home at Togus, with the squad of crazy
veterans which is taken annually from
Togus to the National Asylum for De-
mented Veterans at Washington. A con-
siderable number of veterans at the
Home al Togus become demented every
year. They are kept at the Home until
spring, when all of them are sent at
once to the asylum. There are fifteen
in the squad that. DR.. Elwell is taking
on. There were to be sixteen; but one
died of apoplexy just as they were
leaving Augusta. DR.. Elwell has four
assistants to help look after the fifteen,
and lively time they have of it, as
some of the maniacs are violent enough.
The party carry their own provisions,
feeding the men in the car.
