Endeavored to Secure His Old Place at
the State Insane Asylum.
The fates do not seem to treat every
body alike. DR.. Eastman succeeded in
getting his old place as superintendent
of the state insane asylum, but John
Brun, who was endeavoring to recover
the position of steward which he held
before the Populists came in power, has
failed to be reinstated. He asked the
supreme court to reinstate him on the
same ground that DR.. Eastman asked for
his old position, but DR.. Eastman's case
was never heard. DR.. McCasey resigned
in favor of the old superintendent, and
the mandamus proceedings were dis
missed
But Steward Butler was not 80 kind
to Bruu. He swore that he never would
give up his job until compelled to do SO
by the court, and he secured the SER
vices of G. c. Clemens to support his
claim.
The case WAS argued at the session Of
the supreme court last week, w. A 8.

listening to the arguments the court did

that in any event Bruins term had now

A POOR WOMAN'S WOE.
Mrs. e. G. Murphy Tries to Com
nit Suicide
BY CRAWLING UNDER 4 TRAIN

She Came Here From VVichIta-Grfef
and Hunger Make Her Reason Tot
ter.
Crazed with troubles and made desper-
ate by hunger, Mrs E. G. Murphy, an
unfortunate woman from Wichita, made
an effort TO commit suicide Sunday by
throwing herself under a Rock Island
train, and repeated the effort today
Mrs. Murphy is we'll dressed woman
about 40 years of age, and wears gold
trimmed eyeglasses. She came from
Wichita to Topeka last Thursday to visit
her maynard boy, who is confined in the
reform school Mrs. Murphy part of
the time partook of the hospitality of
family at Shorey, but she told the officers
today she did not have enough to eat.
1t was Mrs. Murphy's hope to unite
her family. Besides her son at the re-
form school, she has a daughter and
son, and she was ambitious to take them
all back to her old home in Indiana,
where she lived before her hus band died.
Her aim was defeated, however, when
Superintendent Hitchcock told her he
could not release her son until his time
was up.
Sunday afternoon Mrs. Murphy was
noticed about the Shorey round house,
was watched. When the Rock Island
passenger train had stopped at 6horey
and was starting to pull out again, Mrs.
Murphy jumped on the track directly in
front of the engine, but man who was
standing near dragged her from her per
ilous position in time to save her life.
This forenoon Mrs. Murphy was back
and renewed her attempt at suicide This
time she got down on her hands and
knees and was in the act of crawling
under slowly moving box-car, between
the tracks, when head brakeman Ed.
Cunningham saw her and succeeded in
dragging her away.
Mrs. Murphy's only excuse is that she
has more trouble than she can bear, and
wanted to die. Mrs. Murphy was taken
to the probate court this morning and
was examined by Judge Wood. She
said she wanted to die, and iutimated
that she had suffered lately for the neces-
stiles of life. Judge Wood pronounced
her case one of acute mania, aud he or
dered the woman transferred to the Gus
tody of Poor Commissioner Hale. Judge
Wood SAYS: 81 think her insanity only
temporary, brought on by anxiety and
the poor farm, where she can get plenty
to eat and someone to take care of her
and medical attention. If she does not
rally from the attack in a few days, |
shall commit her to the asylum"
Mrs. Murphy appeared to be greatly
worried also about some money which
she expected to arrive from Wichita by
express, but which never came
