out to rae a home TO the ground with
an ak this afternoon, and is now

NeWcombs mania is a spasmodic one,
and soon after an attack he is appar-
emily cured and is always liberated
This time, however, he stands chance
Of being held for some time to come.
The old mans delusion is a remark
able one. At 20 time within the last
ten years has he been able to get warm
He is on the hunt continually for fuel,
and he has a weakness for fires and red
hot stimulants that always gets him
into trouble. He is connected with a
well-to-do and respectable family in
Stockton. The family own property
here, and that is what induced the old
man to visit Oakland. He came to tear
down one of their residences in order
that he might burn it and so keep
warm.
NeWcomb demolished fence and had
begun work upon the roof, when the
policemen pounced downed upon him
and carted him off to jail. He storms
about the conspiracy to keep him cold
and names everybody he ever knew as
a party to the same.
