BAREFOOTED IN THE SNOW.
Charles BrittendaIe Runs Barefooted
From His Boarding House
AND ENTERS CRAWFORD'S THEATER,

Where He Is Found Seated Looking a
Ihe Play when a Policeman Cap
lures Hfm-The Man is Insane.
1t was nearly 10 o'clock last night when
the ushers at Crawford's opera house
were startled to see man rush into the
room and quietly take a seat. He wore
only a vest and trousers. His feet were
bare, but he seemed perfectly comforta-
BILE.
The man had just settled down to en-
Joy himself when Policeman johnson
entered and arrested the stranger. He
led him from the room while the man
mildly protested. The snow was falling
and the streets were white but the young
man Paid no attention to that. He
wanted to return and see the rest of the
play. When he was locked up he gave
his name as Charles Brittendale.
There is no doubt about the mans in
sanity. He has been boarding at GAL
Iagher's restaurant at 220 Kansas avenue
for a week. A few days ago he began to
act strangely aad night before last he
came down stairs and told James Gal
lagher, the proprietor of the restaurant,
that he felt something coming over him
and he wanted to go and join the church.
Mr., Gallagher told him he would go
with him in the morning and this salts
fed BrlttendaIe and he went pack To
bed
Last night nearly all the boarders had
retired when the hall door was opened
and Brittendale rushed out into the
street. He did not stop for explanations
but started up toward the opera house.
MIR. Gallagher followed the man but he
had so much the start that he found it
impossible to catch him. He called off,
Ger johnson and they came on to the
opera house where he was captured.
When Brittendale entered the opera
house he ran up the steps He did not
stop to speak to the door keeper but
rushed past him and took a seat.
His home is in Brookville. He came
to Topeka last summer and boarded at
220 Kansas avenue. He sold needles
and pins on the streets and the proprie-
tor of the boarding house says he gave
no evidence of insanity and always paid
board promptly.
1t is said that Brittendale has been in
the asylum and was discharged last
October as cured. Mr.. Gallagher made
a charge of insanity against the young
man before Probate Judge Wood but he
will probably be returned to the asylum
without trial,

SALT LAKE, Utah, Feb. 7.-Frederick
Warde gave his first production of
Shakespeare's king Lear" here last
night before crowded house, and made
the hit of his life.
The play was superbly mounted and

fourth act, he made graceful speech of
acknowledgement. king Lear" prom

Says that He Doesn't Mind n March 10th
Convention.
Judge J. B. johnson was in Emporia
yesterday and the Emporia Republican
said:
Judge J. R. johnson ofaTopeka WAS
in the city today looking after his politi-
cal interests. Judge johnson is the man
who has been selected to beat Cy Leland
for member of the Republican national
committee. He has gone into the cam
paign in earnest and he's great hus-
tier 1t is the general opinion among
politicians that he will give Cy the most
interesting chase of his life.
ICY has played it low down on him by
going into his own bailiwick and bringing
out a candidate for delegate against him,
but the judge doesn't anticipate much
trouble from this source. Although the
date of the Wichita convention was con-
troiled by Leland, Judge johnson says it
suits him all right and doesn't see how
Cy is going to get the best of it by hav-
ing the fight settled SO early"

She is Suicide.
PORTLAND, Ore, Feb. THE dis
appearance of Mrs. Grace Cody, ths wife
OF Arthur B. Cody, of Chicago, who left
the house of her parents in Tacoma a
week ago yesterday, is shrouded in
mystery.
The theory that the woman had ar
rived in Portland last Tuesday, having
walked from Tacoma to this. city, was
found to be incorrect. The woman sup
posed to have been Mrs. Cody was
another person and she was traced to
the residence of a family at Woodstock
BY the husband of the missing woman.
Mr.. Cody, Detective Evans of Tacoma.
and c. F. Goodrich, brother of the
missing woman, returned to- Tacoma,
satisfied that any further search in this
vicinity would be fruitless. 1t is now
thought that Mrs. Cody has committed
suicide.

A M. Harvey of Topeka will be a
candidate for the Populist nomination for
lieutenant governor. There is now d
movement on foot to secure the delegates
from this congressional district for him
and there is probability that when the
state CONVEX tion meets the Fourth district
will be solid for him and if the governor
is nominated from one of the western
counties the second place on the ticket
will be given to some one in the eastern
portion of the state.
That is what Dir. Harvey's friends
argue and they say that with either Vim

certain.
