y North Star special TO the Detroit
Times of Tuesday says that people
there are in a furore of excitement
over an occurrence during Sunday
service. During the sermon +. Smyth
and his young wife sat side by side
looking the picture of happiness and
devotion. Smyth has generally been
regarded as an upright citizen and
Mrs Smyth is one of the most attract
i've women in the village. During the
collection they seemed to be havln 9
warm words but the congregation sup
posed they had merely forgotten theig
customary contribution and were re-
preaching each other for forgetfulness.
: The congregation had just risen TO sing
a hymn when they were Mortified to
see Mr.. Smyth seize his wife by the hair
and drag her struggling from the
church. The people rushed out just in
time to behold Smyth strike his wife
several violent blows and hurl her to
the ground. The crowd closed about
them and the ladies took Mrs.
Smyth away. Smyth would probably
have received rough handling but he is
a large and powerful man and the other
gentlemen thought it inadvisabie to
create scene on the Sabbath. The
cause of the trouble is unknown but il
is understood that it was a case of
sudden insanity.
