A DANGEROUS MAN.

west brookfield Maniac Does Damage
at the City Hospital.
Arthur ]. Spur, who was arrested
in. West Brookfield Saturday afternoon
by Officer George w. Stone of that
town, is still at the city hospital. His
actions yesterday showed clearly that
he was insane. He got out of his bed
and kicked over a glass topped operat-
ing table and smashed the top into
small pieces. He was then taken back
to his bed and strapped down. He
amused himself afterwards by asking
the nurses if they knew what the
course of true love was. Invariably he
received a reply that they did not and
he informed them that it was travelling
in clover and the path of true love, and
it all happened because he had three
women chasing after him. He would
then go into a long series of strange
talks. AS soon as his wounds are
healed it is probable that he will be
transferred to a lunatic hospital.

A Very Sad Death.

Mary Ethelyn Schenck was born in
Dakota City, Iowa, Nov. %, 1880, and
died in Decorah, Ia. Sept. Z, 1899.
She resided in this city during the
past four years and succeeded in win
ming the respect, esteem, and love of
all with whom she became acquainted.
She was a modest, sweet spirited,
Christian girl. She united with the
Methodist Episcopal Church when
about eight years of age, in Nora
Springs, Ia.
Her last sickness was shor. and pain
full, appendicitis being the cause, and
when told that a surgical operation
might save her life, which could not
otherwise be done, she bravely set her
face to meet the ordeal, saying that
she was prepared to die il it should
not be successful. She survived a
little more than three hours. Though
so young, her life was full of promise,
and already she had engaged in the
useful and honorable calling of teach
ing, with comRendable success. She
would have begun her third term on
last Monday, had not this fatal sick
ness prevented. She was buried near
Frankville, the funeral services being
held in the First M. E. Church of this
city on Saturday morning at 1880
o'clock, her pastor officiating.
Very much sympathy is felt for the
bereaved family.
