Peculiar Actions of Young Man
Named Emery Hughes

Emery Hughes, who says he lives at
Shellsburg, To-, walked into the Central
station last evening and asked to be
taken in charge, as he said he felt his
mind giving away. He is a quiet appear
ing, well spoken individual and Lieut..
Pothen, in charge of the station, was
somewhat at a loss what to make of
the case, but accommodated the stranger
by putting him in a cell
After being locked up Hughes wrote a
rambling letter addressed to his sister
Miss Edith Hughes, of Shellsburg, in
which he told of a plot to murder him and
other members of his family He warned
his sister against certain persons and
wrote wildly about socialism and spiritu-

City, Mont. He says he ran away from
his home in Iowa when he was sixteen
years of age. He was in an asylum at

BURN SIDE LAMPS.
This Is the Request Made by the
Associated WheeImen

Several matters of interest to wheel
men were considered by the Associated
Wheelmen at a meeting held at the
Commercial club yesterday noon
One is the contention between the cy-
ciists and the property owners along
Reaney and Fauquier streets over the
formers desire to use the sidewalks. The
trouble in the first place was fomented
by number of hot-headed wheelmen,
and, in fact, the cycling associations are
trying harder than any one else to sup
press these reckless riders 1t is thought
that an agreement can be arrived at
which will satisfy all parties. The cyclers
decided to keep a sharp lookout for rid
ers who violate the riding ordinance by
sCOrching on the sidewalks.
The committee decided to start an APP
peal to owners Of vehicles and carriages
Of all kinds to burn side lamps at night.
This, it is thought. can be accomplished
by arousing public interest. Such a re-
suit would be of great benefit to the
drivers of vehicles as we'll as to the
Wheelmen. AS it now is, the drivers havs
all the advantage.
