Samuel Payne, Jr., of Hancock
Mich, Goes Insane.
BURLINGTON SHOCKED
Horse Racing Man Entirely Nude
Runs Wild Through the
Country.

Racine, Wis, Sept. 16.-[Special. ]-Jo-
seph Wallock and several other farmers
living north of the town of Burlington,
discovered naked man running wildly
through the fields. With great difficulty
they captured him and coaxed him to
dress himself. 1t was evident that he
was a man of means as his clothing was
of the latest pattern; he had costly
gold watch and chain and $1O4 cash in his
pocket. He was perfectly wild and in
sisted that he be allowed to run to the
railway station, lie down on the tracks
and allow train to cut him in pieces.
After a hard fight he was removed to
the lookup at Burlington and a telephone
message was sent here for Sheriff Rein.
The sheriff, after conversing with the de-
mented man, ascertained that his name was
Samuel Payne, Jr., and that his home
was Hancock, Mich. He said that on
last Wednesday he and his brother,
Thomas Payne, arrived at the State fair
with a trotting horse named Jerry L.
In the afternoon of that day he and his
brother started downtown together and
that in some manner they were parted.
He did not know what became of him
and does not remember how he got down
in the country near Burlington. Sheriff
Rein telephoned the Milwaukee officers.
A detective was sent out to the fair
grounds and the brother Thomas was
found and the story of the insane young
man found to be true. Late last night
Thomas came down from Milwaukee
with friend and took Samuel back.
From the conversation of the brother it
was inferred that Samuel was subjected
to insane spells and that he had wan
dered away in similar manner a num-
Der of times before.
