ed. She was brought to Mexico MON
day by Rev. A. L. Harris, A. T. SoA
and G. Douehant, adjudged insane ana
taken to the Asylum at Fulton. Inc

About one year ago John Lanhing
married Miss Josephine Detlehhe'
They located in Audraip county,

Lanning had a severe spell OF eve
and at intervals since her illness she
has been out of her mind. During her
spells of insanity she would WANDER
away from home. Last week she an
Off. Her husband pursued and caught
her before she had gotten far from
home. Lanning got a strong switch
and whipped his wife unmercliuiiy'
He beat her until her arms were piack
with bruises. Bart Rice, VINO was
working with some threshing hanus
near by, happened along about that
time. He caught Lanning and with q
whip he thrashed him until he wrench
ed himself from Rice's grasp and es-
caped to the woods. tanning was
pursued by the machine men ana
when overtaken he was told that If he
did not leave the country before Sun
day night his life would pay the pen
atty. Lanning went to Vandalia and
caught the midnight train Saturday
night and left for parts unknown. Ii
is thought he went to West PLANES,
Howell county, where he has rela-
tives.
The poor wife is a pitiable object.
She bears evidence Of bad treatment.
Her physical condition is very weak
as well as her mind. Notwithstanding
the brutal treatment she has received
by her husband she says she still
loves him and begs to be restored to
his care, declaring that he will not
mistreat her again. Mrs. Lanning is
the woman who was the plaintiff in
the tfooch- Lanning suit which was
dismissed because the Lannings failed
to give bond for costs.

DIR Laws in Gnnd Health.

Would it not be well to correct the
statements so frequently published
about the insanity of DIR. Laws, late
chancellor of Missouri STATED University,
and now professor in the Theological
Seminary at Columbia, 8. G. Instead
of being at Columbia insane, he has
been spending the summer at Asbury
Park, N. j., where I saw him a few
weeks since. A day or two since !
saw and had a long conversation with
him in this city. There is not the
slightest indication of insanity. He
appears t o be in excellent condition,
both physically and mentally.
