HE WAS INSANE
Examination Brought to Sudden
Close

OlOSc
OAKLAND, April 13.-W. c. Grebe, a
maniac jabbed hat pin down his throat
at noon today while being examined for
insanity in the court room of Judge Og-
den. 1t was thought for time that he
had succeeded in killing himself, for his
throat and the organs of respiration
were terribly mutilated. but it is now be-
lieved that he will recover.
Grebe fought with all the desperation
of insanity to keep the officers from re-
moving the fragments of the pin from
his throat, and it was only after he had
become unconscious from strangulation
that they were removed. The scene in
the court room was a remarkable one.
Grebe was very violent when brought in
by Jailer Lane and fought to free him
SELF He begged for poison or weapon
that he might kill himself, and could not
be quieted.
The hearing had about closed and
Judge Ogden had issued the order for
the confinement of the prison in Agnews.
when Grebe asked permission to kiss
his wife, a tall. handsome woman, who
sat with him during the hearing. AS
he advanced to her he suddenly seized
her about the neck and tried to bite her.
She screamed in terror and struggled to
free herself. Grebe clutched at her hat
and tore it from her head. AS he did so
he saw the long pin that had held the
hat on her head. In an instant it was in
his mouth and he was forcing it down his
throat. The jailer and bailiffs seized him
and hurried him from the court room.

Should the river complete the cutoff it
has threatened, East Omaha, with ex-
tensive factories, including the great
Carter White Lead works, will be moved
into Iowa and the SO, 900, 900 bridge of the
East Omaha Terminal company will be
left across a slough. while the thousands
of dollars expended by the government
ir protecting the banks of the river along
the great bend will be wasted.
Down in town the situation Is less
serious than it was last night. The
smelter of the Omaha and Grant COM
pany is still above water. The Thomson
Houston electric lighting plant and the
Willow Springs distillery can stand a
rise of another foot and the railroad
companies feel that their tracks are safe
for the time. All are watching it though
and taking every precaution to protect
! their property. The weather has cleared
off here and the prospects are favorable
for a cessa tion of the rains.
DOWN THE RIVER
MEMPHIS Tenn, April 13.-The river
continues to rise south of Vicksburg and
the swift current is throwing the water
all over the levees, with enormous force.
A telegram from Tallelah, La. received
last night, reported that the levee at Da-
Wis island, Warren county, Miss, had
broken, but the report was premature.
The water is washing over the levee at
that point and break may occur at any
hour. Many people have left the island
with their most valuable effects and
stock. Several weak spots have devel-
oped in the southern levee and the peo-
pie in that section are making heroic
struggles to save their property. Tonight
the backwater in the flooded Mississippi
delta is about stationary. The river at
Memphis continues to fall slowly.
At Helena the river is declining at the
rate of two-tenths of a foot daily. The
refugees are flocking into Helena by
every boat. Three officers, Lieuts. A. S.
Rowan and McC. Crowley of the u. S. A.,
and Capt. Graham D. Fitch, have ar
rived at Helena on the steamer Itasca.
A conference between the officers and
local relief committee was held, that
Lieut. Rowan may secure all the facts
regarding the situation. At the meeting
It was estimated that of %, 800 inhabiting
the county, 1000 lived in the city and
one-half of the remainder lived in the
territory now inundated. The popula-
try was put down at approximately
5000. OF these 1000 to 5000 are now in Hell
ena and scattered along the foothills for
a distance of fifteen miles. There are
1900 refugees at Old Town Ridge. The
relief committee reported that 5000 peo-
pie were dependent upon aid Three
thousand dollars weekly was the sum
decided upon to take care of these peo-
pie. Lieuts. Rowan and Crowley left
Helena today for Greenville and the
White river to investigate the situation
there. Capt. Nollty of the steamer Titan
reported forty-three refugees at Modoc,
eighty at Avenue, forty at Dawson,
forty-five at Lower Ludlow, 164 at Fer
guson and 100 at Knowlton. The major
ity of these unfortunate people are
camped on barges and have been sup
piled from Helena.

sites would answer every requirement.

addressed by Mrs. Stanford to the trust
ees of the Stanford university, in which
she favored the location of the school in
San Francisco. Mr.. Scott made an ar
gument in favor of selecting a site in this
