johannesburg, March Is, 1896
George Robinson, concerning whom
the above charges are made was seen
by Standard reporter yesterday aft
ernoon, and he gave at length his ex-
PLANTATION of the reasons for his return
and for his leaving Newton at Robins
Island. He said
our party arrived in Johannesburg
on Christmas day. Two days after our
arrival we were asked to take up arms
against the Beers and were told that
IL we wouldn't we would be placed on
the blacklist and couldn't get work at
any of the mines. Some of the boys
did take a gun but most of us refused.
Very soon after our arrival Newton be-
gan to show symptoms of insanity. He
grew worse and we took him to the
hospital. But he didn't improve and 1t
was costing $3.50 per day to keep him
at the hospital. So Ii was decided to
send him back to America. Mr.. Laird
asked me IL l would go back with New
ton. agreeing to pay both our fares If
i would take him. / had been sick ever
since l reached Africa. / am troubled
with heart disease and under excite
ment l faint away The war excite
ment I'm johannesburg made me worse,
and l tainted there twice. The water
was horrible, and had fever, so | was
very willing to go back
They didn't raise quite $500 for us
The amount was $3.50. l left Johannes
burg with Newton on Jan. 6. The ride
to Cape Town by rail was two days and
three nights, and every mile of the dis
tance Newton grew worse. | did not
sleep a wink / dared not, for fear he
would throw himself from the cars He
would start up in the middle of the
night. and cry.
There are the Boers," and then he
would try To escape, and / would have
a struggle Of half an hour TO quiet him
By the time we got to Cape Town
was a mass of bruises. II was the most
terrible experience l ever had, and
wouldn't undertake IL again for my
life. 1 have handled drunken men be
fore. but that was my first experience
with crazy man.
I'VE reached Cape town on Jan. o.
The steamers leave twice a week. but
we had to wait three or four days be-
fore one would go. l took Newton
with me TO a hotel. but he grew stead
lily worse. Twice he tried to throw
himself In front Of a train. He would
knock me down, and run for the track
and but for the guards who caught
him he would have been killed by the
cars. He would point to the telegraph
wires. and say:
See all those wires? They lead
straight TO hell. and that's where / am
goingl'
Another time he would say:
I'm a leper; don't touch mei'
He also tried to drown limself in the
bay, but caught him just i'm time. The
authorities told me there was no use
trying TO take him home in that con-
dftion, and that / couldn't handle him
So j took him TO the Roland street
hospital. He had every care there and
every day l visited him. taking him
fruit and other things. But he kept
getting worse. and the physicians told
me the only thing TO do was 20 take
him TO the insane asylum on Robins
island. They said he would have to
be confined closely IL put on the ship.
and would never live TO reach America

Robinson. Who Sidetracked the
Unfortunate-iis Explanation.

In the early part of last November a
party OF Butte and Anaconda mechan-
les left this country for johannesburg
South Africa, under contract to work
for one of the South African mining
companies. Yesterday the following
letter was received by the Standard,
signed by a number of those who left
this vicinity for Africa:
To the Editor of the Anaconda Stand
ard:
We, the undersigned citizens of Butte
city and Anaconda, ask permission for
a small space in your most valuable
paper to expose a most dastardly act
of one of the party of mechanics, who
left Montana with us for South Africa
On arriving at johannesburg we dis
covered that our friend and fellow
traveller. w. S. Newton, was troubled
with insanity, whereupon we had him
Immediately taken TO the hospital and
examined by skilled doctors i'm the
Transvaal They pronounced him in
sane and incurable. We then decided
90 send him back to America, George
Robinson volunteering to accompany
him. Owing to the trouble going on
here at the time ii was difficult to get
out, but Mr.. Robinson, not being built
of the right material, was more than
anxious to leave the country, so we
raised $500 Give hundred dollars) to
pay both fares home. Mr.. Robinson
took the money and his patient to Cape
Town, remained there a few days and
sent Newton to Robin island a small
island few miles from Cape Town,
where they keep lepers and insane peo-
pie. Then leaving poor Newton there
he left Cape Town, as we suppose, for
Butte city, Montana, instead of coming
back to johannesburg, as a man would
have done with any principle. This is
given to the people of Butte and Ana
conda that they may know the facts
with regards TO our friend Newton,
who is now at Robin island.
You will oblige the undersignelaxDur

An Unusual Sight on the River Front - Is

Mobile, Oct. Especial Correspon-
dence)-The public schools opened here
today with a very full attendance.
Those people who were down on the
river front yesterday afternoon about
2:30 o'clock had the pleasure of Witness
ing an unusual sight, which was no less
than the towing up the channel of three
barks by one towboat. The tug MINI
rod steamed proudly up the river with
three barks in tow, two NorWegians and
one German. They We're the Norwegian
bark Nimeira, the Norwegian bark Clio
bus, which is a new vessel in this port,
and the German bark President
Trotsche, which is also a new vessel here.
The bark Globus is a very pretty vessel.
and one of the pilots remarked that she
is the first vessel that has been here in
some time that carries skysail yards. Her
masts tower way up into the air. and her
model gives one the impression that She
Is a clipper.
The cold record for September, SO far
as Mobile is concerned, was broken yes
terday, September 80, the weather bu-
reau thermometer in the early morning
hours of Wednesday registering 1872 de-
grees, the lowest recorded since the SER
vice was established, twenty-siX years
ago. The perevious lowest record was
Just eight years ago, the thermometer
registering 81 degrees on September so,
1888. The lowest temperature recorded
Wednesday morning in the middle dis
trict was 30 degrees at Evergreen.

The Register says: "There was a re-
port current yesterday which the Herald
credits to the 'tugboat people, to the
erect mat case of yellow fever had de-
Veloped on one of the vessels from SoutD
America, which is now undergoing quar-
antine at the station thirty miles down
the bay DR.. T. S. Scales. health and
executive officer of the quarantine board
of Mobile Bay, was asked last night il he
had any information about a case Of vel
low fever at the quarantine plant, and
ne SAID that he knew nothing about it.
He had no official information on the sub
ject. He had heard the report, and thar
is all he knew about it.
One of the reasons for disbeiieving the
report is the fact that there is no official
information at hand on the subject, and
as the wires from Fort Morgan were
working last night, there Is no possible
reason why that information was not
forthcoming. If there was really a case
of yellow fever at the plant. The well
known promptness of DIR. George II.
Fowler in matters of this kind is another
evidence that he has had no case of yell
low fever to report to headquarters.
