NEARLY A TRAGEDY.

Tho Serious Freaks of Maniac Yes
terday,
What might have been tragedy re-
suited only in a terrible fright yester-
day afternoon to Mrs. Jordan living
in the vicinity of the old San Fernando
depot. She has had for neighbor a
Mrs. Willis, who has been acting queer
ly of late, and who became wildly crazy
yesterday.
Mrs. Jordan was out in her yard when
Mrs. Willis came out of her house
fourishing revolver, and before Mrs.
Jordan could realize that she was con-
fronted by maniac the demented
woman blazsd away at her. The ball
passed near her, but did not do any
execution and Mrs. Jordan ran scream
ing into the house. The shooting at
tracted crowd and the crazy woman
was disarmed and placed under control.
She raved about her neighbor saying
that her back yard was full of graves
and dead people, and that 1t was her
mission to expose her and take her life.
The officers were called, complaint
was issued and the woman was taken
before Judge CLARK, where she was
adjudged insane and committed to the
asylum at Stockton.
