A Strange Phenomena.

Abilene is always up with the times.
When we are not doing something
new in literary or musical way, the
forces Of nature are at work to bring
us prominently to the fore. 1t was
discovered last week that in a certain
room at the residence of c. Johntz by
walking across the room covered with
moquette carpet, and not lifting the
feet, enough electricity enters the
body so that when touching person
with your finger aloud reports made,
slightly burning the person touched.
Sparks can be made to fly from the
steam radiator by simply touching it
with your finger. 1t is said that any
room so carpeted will produce the
same effect. 1t is curious to say the
least.

$500, which have been long past due.
Unable to get settlement from
Phillips they decided to place the
positoflice in ion where they at
least can get interest on the invest
ment. The material is being moved
to one OF the rooms in the Crawford

mence suit to regain possession.

From Tuesdays Daily.1

The probate judges office was
crowded at the trial Of Anderson
Minter this morning to determine his
sanity. Mr.. Minter was his own
counsel and put up an Unexpectedly
strong fight. He said nothing was
the matter with him. He knew what
he was doing and all his queer actions
were the result OF advice from The
Lord. He said he spent last week in
Topeka, went to the theatre and spent
considerable time looking on at the
doings Of the legislature, The jury
was not much impressed by this as 1t
seemed unreasonable that the Al
mighty would order a man to visit
the Pop lawmakers. He said he came
home by the Lords orders, arose in
the night and came to town. A
freight train came through and he
was instructed TO get abroad and 60
to Salina, which he did. He says he
expected to come home today and has
orders now to stay on his farm for
six months and attend to business.
All the questions were clearly an
swered and he explained all the queer
actions Of the past two months on the
same ground-diyine advice. The
Jury consisted Of Il. B. Lafever, W.
W. Herr, +. A. Smith, j. T. Andrews,
J. y. Edwards, W. q. Wyandt and it
speedily returned verdict Of insane.
The trial lasted about three hours and
was very interesting. Mr.. Minter is
apparently rational on all subjects
but this Of his particular mania.
Minter will be taken to the asylum
as soon as place is ready for him.
His relatives took him around town
today to give him exercise. His wife
will probably be made guardian of his
estate.

M|N7ER IS FOUND.
LORDS ADVICE IS NOT GOOD
EVIDENCE.
Then Skips For Salina But Is Over
hauled and Is Now Safe in Jail
Queer Hallucinations
From Mondays Daily.]

Anderson Minter, the missing farm
or living southwest Of town, has been
captured and is safe in Jail. The
Rock Island train Saturday evening
brought him home from Harrington.
Where he has been during the past
two weeks no one knows but himself
and he will not tell. He came up
town, got shaved and started home
ward. His wife and children got no
answer to their questions and he took
up the affairs OF life naturally and
went to bed as usual. About 8 a. m.
Sunday morning he arose and started
back to town, taking an early train to
Salina. This time he was traced and
the sheriff followed him, bringing
him back Sunday evening and lodging
him in Jail. He was found in Sail
ma hotel, unconcerned and contented.
He tstill had the certificate Of deposit
for 1925 and some money and notes,
making in all about $1,000. These
were taken from him. Minter has
suffered from hallucinations OF var
ious sorts and has been especially
wild on religion. Recently he became
worried about his money and has
drawn 1t out Of one bank and depoS-
tied it in another without reason.
He is still excited about this phase Of
his career but seems quiet on relig-
ious themes. He is about 80 years
old and good farmer. His condition
makes 1t very hard for his family.
