the amount of one dollar and seventy
eight cents, assessed by the Village Cor
poration of Brunswick, was before Judge

delegate it. He further claimed that the

years, which should have been included
in separate and distinct warrants There
were several other points fully as tcchni-
cal, If not more so, upon which it was

He ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
A Man who Created Much Excitement at
the Police Station Last Night.

There was perfect circus at the police
station last evening. A young man was
brought in fighting drunk. He was in a
bad condition and from the first moment
made trouble for all concerned. He gave
his name as Hodges, and his residence
Bath. but the tramps who who were
brought in later said that he had been
with them. They also said he was sober
the lattor part of the afternoon, state
ment calculated to cast doubts on their
yer aoity.
Deputy Hartnett was at loss what to
do with his prisoner. He was in fight
Ing mood and tried to bite all who came
near MIN, and after he was looked up
maue frantic attempts TO bite the CRATES.
At nrst 1t Was thought that it might be
a case OF hydrophobia, except that he
showed no special aversion to water.
He was left alone for very brief time.
during which he made an attempt to
commit suicide. He took off his sus-
penders and tried to hang himself very
nearly ending his life in that way. Then
he tried the same thing with his shirt.
but was again secured.
Then he tore off his clothes until he
was entirely nude. From that time if
WAS found necessary to watch him every
moment. A doctor was called and
opiates injected, but with little success
at first. He still insisted on trying to
bite his way out, and evidently had no
idea what he Was doing.
He begged for cigarette, and could
not be made to comprehend where he
was. He was simply crazy drunk, so the
doctor said, but he looked and acted very
much as man who had been drugqed
might be expected to. The liquor he took
must have been of the violent description,
for several hours after his arrest he was
nearly as wild as when he was first
brought in.
