Mormon Elder Nearly Drowned by an
insane Convert.

LEwIsBUEG. W. Va, April is
Among the Mormon converts baptized
in the Greenbrier river above Clover
lick last er hing was an enthusiastic
man named Peterson. who shouted
''ilory. at the top of his voice. Just
as the elder dipped him he seemed to
lose all control over himself, and in
a minute he and the elder were strug-
CLING in each others embrace. The
elder was willing to let go, but the
old man held to him, and was evil
IDENTITY trying to drown him. For
fully ten minutes the struggle kept
up, first one would be under the
water and then the other. Finally
the elder was apparently played out,
and the convert got him under the
water for good and held him there,
shouting that he had drowned the
flesh and the devil.
BY the time men on the bank had
come to their senses and several of
them rushed to the man and forced
him to let the elder go. The elder
was Insensible and did not come to for
fully half an hour, and he is in a
critical condition
The convert is violently insane and
will be sent to an asylum.
