Girl Goes Crazy.

About o'clock yesterday morning the
guests at the Grand hotel were aroused
from their sumbers by blood-curdling
shrieks, lnterspersed with yells of police
murder" Are" 1t did not take long to
discover that the shrieks emanated from a
room occupied by Mary Unanget, one of the
domestics An attempt to open the door dis
closed the fact that 1t was locked on the in
side All this time while an effort was be-
ing made to open the door the yells and
shreks Of the woman inside continued The
officer on the Pearl street beat was sum
moned and at his suggestion the porter
climbed through the transom and opened
the door. The young woman was found
lying fully dressed on the floor and 1t was
at once apparent that she had become vio-
lently insane. Sheriff Morgan was notified
and the woman was taken in a hack to the
county Jail. She fought, kicked and yelled
and 1t took the combined strength OF six
men to carry her downstairs and place her
in the carriage. On reaching the county
jail the same difficulty was experienced In
getting her In there Later she was taken
on order of DR.. Thomas OF the Board of In
sanity Commissioners to St. Bernards hos
pital. The violent fit was not long lasting
and yesterday afternoon the young woman
was resting quietly, although completely
worn out with her struggles DR.. Thomas yes.
terday evening was inclined to believe that II
was more a case of violent hysteria than in
sanity. The affair created intense excite
ment in the hotel, as from the shrieks the
guests thought terrible murder was being
committed.

, prepared to take It of our hands is too far
ahead to say with any certainty at present"
When asked regarding the extensive pur-
chases OF bottom lands in the northern
part OF the city Mr.. Duncombe said he had
nothing to say at this time, as the plans OF
the company are not clearly defined as yet
AS to the route the road would enter Coun-
ell Bluffs he said that had not yet been de-
termined. Two corps Of engineers, he ex-
pected, would start out today, one from
Fort Dodge and the other from this end,
for the purpose OF laying out line. He did
not expect much beyond the preliminary
work would be attempted this year, as dur
ing the winter little work on the road could
be done. but there was no doubt but the
road would be built in the coming year
When asked over which bridge his road
would probably enter Omaha Mr.. Duncombe
said he could at this time give no informa
tion on that point. Neither was he pre-
pared to state IL the company intended
building shops or yards on the property Sc
cured north Of Big lake. About all that
President Duncombe was inclined to admit
was that the road weuld be built from Fort
Dodge to Omaha via Council Bluffs.
Yesterday II was made public that the
Northwestern railway had instituted con-
the Judson tract recently purchased by the
Fort Dodge & Omaha road and the logical
conclusion is that President Duncombe' s
visit at this time is in connection with
these proceedings, although he declined to
say anything at all on this matter. From
Sheriff Morgan, however, 1t was learned
that the Northwestern road has commenced
proceedings to condemn a strip about three
quarters of mile long and about $50 feet
wide on both sides OF it's right of way
through the Judson tract. The grounds on
which the condemnation is sought are that
the company requires the land for the pur-
pose on one side OF strengthening its track
and on the other for borrow pits" or in
other words, to secure ballast for it's grade.
The following have been appointed ap-
praisers G. w. Lipe o. H. Lucas, Frank
L. Childs, S. T. McAtee, John P. Williams
and c. A. Tbbets
Should the Northwestern succeed In hav-
ing this trip condemned 1t will absolutely
prevent the Fort Dodge road from build
ing its track and entering the city over the
route proposed and for which the Judson
tract and other property in that vicinity
we're purchased. Although Mr.. Duncombe de-
clined to say anything on this question, 1t
is certain that the Fort Dodge G. Omaha
road people will not stand quietly by and
let the Northwestern freeze them out. The
inference is that the courts will be called
upon to settle the matter should some AMIGA
BILE arrangement not be forthcoming other
wise.

Old story of Bogus Policeman Worked
on IA BON Durant Citizen.

Old story of Bogus Policeman worked
on "a Bon Durant Citizen.
BON DURANT, Ia, Sept. 25.-(Special.)- y
F. e, Darling of this place has just returned
from Chicago. While there he sold eight
carloads of horses at the stock yards He
deposited a draft for IS, 900 in the Drovers'
National bank and with $3.50 in his pockets
went down town happy. When a sociable
stranger accosted him at the Rock Island
station Darling was not averse to chat.
The conversation turned to horses and
Darling was delighted to learn that he and
the stranger were in the same business.
The stranger, who said his name was Jack
son OF Dubuque, Ia, invited Darling to a
room at Thirteenth street and Wabash ave-
nue. to talk shop. Darling confded to his
companion that he had Just closed an IS, 600
DEAL but neglected to say that he had de-
posted draft for the amount in the bank
Waxing more confidential, the Bon Durant
man exhibited $160 in $40 bills, with which
he said he would purchase goods at a GER
tain store.
AS Darling held the cash in his hand the
door of the room was suddenly broken open
and a we'll dressed person, who exhibited a
star, declared Darling and the other man
under arrest He said the place was a
gambling den and the occupants of the room
had been gambling. Darling protested In
vain and the supposed policeman searched
him. He took the $3.50 and was about to
leave, when the stranger said to Darling
"You were in luck to save your $4,000"
Acting on this the supposed policeman
searched Darling again and even ripped
open the lining OF his vest. Darling as
sured him the money was on deposit, show
ing him his book. The man with the star
told him to remain in the room while he
searched the rest of the house and he dis
appeared.

The fact has leaked out that among the
indictments returned by the recent district
court grand jury and not made public at the
time was one against James N Casady,
charging him with embezzlement. The au-
thorities were trying to keep the matter Of
the indictment secret as they were anxious
to lay their hands on Casady, who was lately
reported to have been in Milwaukee. Pre-
vious to that he had been seen by several
parties in Seattle and Spokane, but his
present whereabouts are unknown.
Casady suddenly disappeared from Council
Bluffs in January. 1897, and it at once be-
came known that his business affairs were
hopeessly entangled. At the time he left
Casady was administrator of the Grosvenor
estate, guardian OF the heirs of the Vogel
estate and teasurer Of Fairview Cemetery
association. Investigation showed that his
accounts with all these concerns were short.
and that he was a defaulter to the tune of
nearly $4,000. At first 1t was believed his
relatives would come to his assistance and
help to straighten out his affairs, but they
did not and his bondsmen have been left to
hold the sack.

Penitcnt Thief Makes, ,Restitution.
CLINTON, Ia, Sept. 25.-(Special)-A
most unusual as well as interesting case OF
restitution has come to light in this city.
Thirteen years ago the hardware store OF
Charles Baldwin & Co. was broken into and
robbed OF knives, rszors and other fine goods
to the amount of over $50 There was moth
ing peculiar about the robbery and as none
Of the goods were ever recovered the matter
was soon forgotten. There was nothing to
lead to the suspicion Of any person and the
theft was laid to the door of visiting bur-
glars. Mr.. Baldwin. the head OF the firm,
had almost forgotten the circumstance, but
he had II recalled in a most remarkable
manner. A man entered his place OF bus
iness-the same where the theft had been
committeeman asked to see Mr.. Baldwin
privately. He was taken into the office and
at once began a confession. He said that
he committed the theft and disposed Of the
goods, profiting to the amount of their value.
He had come to make reparation and asked
to pay for the goods, with interest and all
expenses and trouble occasioned added. Mr.
Baldwin received the money and gave a re-
ceipt. At first the man declined to give his
name, but finally revealed his identity. He
handed Mr. Baldwin his card, under the as
surance that his identity would never be re-
vealed Who the man is Mr.. Baldwin and
the man himself only know; but 1t is known
that the one-tlme thief and robber is now
in business, is prosperous and has wife
and children.
The man explained to Mr.. Baldwin that he
committed the robbery when discouraged
and out OF work. 1t was his only crime. He
secured work soon after and has never since
had the temptation so strongly placed before
him to do wrong

President of Fort Dodge & Omaha
Gives Out Little Information.
j. F. Duncombe of Fort Dodge, president
OF the Fort Dodge & Omaha railroad, ar
rived in the city yesterday afternoon. When
seen last evening Mr.. Duncombe was per-
fectly willing to talk about the new road
but not inclined to tell much. Regarding
the report that the Illinois Central was
back OF the new road, he said that road had
nothing to do with 1t and that the stock Of
the new company had been subscribed by
parties who were eminently able to carry
it through to completion. THE Dubuque &
Sioux City railway owns all the road oper-
ated by the Illinois Central in Iowa and the
Fort Dodge and Omaha will run into it at
or near Fort Dodge. so from that you must
do your own guessing. Whether when the
road Is built the Illinois Central will be

Northwestern Freight Cars Dftched.
Northwestern passenger train No. 75, due
here at 1925 p. m, collided with a freight
at Crescent City Saturday night with the
result that several freight cars were dtched,
the track blocked and Council Bluffs was
not reached until $3.50 o'clock yesterday
morning. The freight train sidetracks at
this point to let the passenger by. but in
some manner the entire train did not get
on the siding before the passenger passed
and the consequence was that three freight
cars were sent into the ditch and the en-
gine of the passenger badly damaged. En-
gineer Dad" Woods OF the passenger and
his fireman jumped and escaped injury. The
passengers were more or less shaken up by
the force Of the collision, but none were in
