INSANITY OF |NEz ST, CLAIR
FOUND ON STREET AND TAKEN
TO HOSPITAL.
Had Been Leading a Fast Life and
Grieved Over the Death of Her
Child.

The mysterious woman who was
brought into the police station Friday
evening raving and insane, is lnez 81
Clair. She has been living in houses
of ill-repute for about four months, and
is fairly we'll known among the deml-
monde.
When brought to the station Friday
evening she was wet and bedraggled,
having been out in the rain for hours,
wandering about in a demented condl-
ton. She raved at the station and
cried out in tones of agony for her
child. At the hospital she continued
wild and incoherent throughout the
night, screaming and crying by turns.
But during yesterday she was fairly
calm and rational. But she refused to
talk, even to the sister who attended
her. When asked if she was suffering
pain, her reply was that her eyes and
head hurt She simply stared at the
walls and ceilings vacantly, proving
that her mind was not yet normal.
When asked if she lived in Salt Lake
she refused to reply.
The woman is afflicted with nervous
ness, brought on by physical troubles
and morbid brooding over the loss of
her child about eight months ago in
ST. Joseph, No., which has unbalanced
her mind.
She was brought here six months ago
by Ada Wilson, and remained in her
place about four months. 1t is said
that one day she became Respondent,
and, going to the house of Fay Valen
tine tried to commit suicide. She re-
manned there. Miss Valentine, how
ever, said last night that the girl had
not been in her place for five months,
and that then she had stayed only two
or three weeks.
Her brother, on learning the charac-
ter of life she was leading, wrote that
if she would reform and lead a proper
life he would send her enough money
each month to support herself in good
STYLE At the time she left Fay VAL
entine's place it was in compliance with
the terms of her brothers letter. At
one time she said that she was going
to live with the Sisters of Charity.
Whether she did go to them is I'M
known.
From the character of the letters
from the brother. which were seen by
others, it is judged that the girls fam
lily was rather above the class from
which women come.
DR.. Root, who is attending the pa
tient, said last night that she was suf-
fering from nervous prostration. He
was quite certain that she had not made
an attempt to commit suicide by taking
a drug,

A DYING MOTHERS APPEAL
AT LAST WAR DEPARTMENT
RELEASES HER SON.
Clarence S. Curtis Ordered Honorably
Discharged, But He May Not
Reach Home For Months.

Clarence S. Curtis, now serving with
the valiant Utah volunteers in the war
against the Philippine insurgents, has
been ordered honorably discharged. In
formation to this effect was received
yesterda-- by Governor Wells. the tele-
gram to him from Assistant Adjutant
General Ward at Washington stating:
THE secretary of war has ordered
Clarence S. Curtis, a Utah volunteer,
sent to the Preside, San Francisco,
for discharge"
No one could have been more appre-
ciative of the good news than was Ar
tilleryman Curtis mother when the
announcement of her sons release from
the army reached her. Bedridden with
an incurable malady, the devoted
mother has repeatedly implored Presi-
dent Mckinley and the secretary of war
directly and through Governor Wells
and Senator Rawlins to return her son
to ner before her life GIBBS away and the
angel of death closes her eyes in eter-
nal sleep. In further justification of
her plea, the good woman urged that
her son was in danger of going totally
blind. an affection of the left eye hav-
ing threatened the sight of the other.
Early in this ~ear. and just before
the conflict with the FilipinoS COM
menced, young Curtis mothers en-
the war department, saving that he,
together with twenty-four other Utah
BOYS recommended for discharge by
Governor Wells, would be released if
the recommendation were concurred in
by their respective commanding offi-
GERS, and provided, further, that Cen
eral Otis could spare them. AT a later
date the invalid mother was informed
that the volunteers would be returned
as soon as regular soldiers could be
sent to take their nlaces.
While Governor Wells was out of
town last week, the young soldiers
mother addressed a last pathetic ap-
peal. and soon after his return, the
governor took the matter up again and
urged the war department for the boys
release, Senator Rawlins joining in the
request. The reply that came yester-
day shows the last appeal was not in
vain.
When the released volunteer, who has
bravely borne his share of the burden
of battles on the island, will return
home is problematical. Governor Wells
has received adviceS from the war de-
partment that it is doubtful if any
transports will be returning to the
United States before all the volunteers
are to be brought home. If this cal
culation is correct, young Curtis will
not be enabled to return to his moth
er's bedside until all his comrades come
home. probably three months yet.
Clarence Curtis enlisted with Wedge
woods recruits last June, and his home
is in this city. His mother resides at
56S Third street.

DEATH TO HORSE.
Runaway Collided With John T.
Reid's Rig.

Yesterday noon, while Deputy
Sheriff Cummock was on his way
home to luncheon, he hove in sight of
the wreckage of runaway in time to
put an end to the sufferings of an in
jured horse. The Anderson & Taylor
Produce company's delivery outfit
broke from it's fastenings on Almond
street, where H. w. futile had tied it.
and boiling down Center street hill,
the runaway horse collided with an old
gentlemans vehicle going northward
on upper Main street. In the collision
the runaway horse struck his head
just above the eye, against the shaft of
John Il. Reds vehicle, and the old
gentlemans rig was considerably dam
aged. He was pitched out and suf-
fered painful injuries on the right hip
and shoulder. Just then Deputy Sher-
if Cummock happened along and fired
a bullet into the head of the produce
company's mortally wounded horse.

The executive committee of the Utah
Woolgrowers' association held a meet
ing yesterday afternoon in the office of
the secretary, f. II. Callister, in this
city, to organize a movement against
shutting the sheepmen out of the
Uintah forest reservation. There were
present at this meeting W. L. Pickard,
Z. II. Callister, Frank 3. Rudy and
Thomas Jones, of Salt Lake City;
Percy WrathalI of Grantsville, w. H.
Haigh of Taylorville and Jens Nelson,
Stearn Hatch and o. T. Hatch of Woods
Cross. Mr.. Haigh acted as chairman
of the meeting and Mr.. Callister as Sec
rotary.
After an informal discussion, it was
decided to call a maSs-convention of
all the woolgrowers of Utah and Wyo-
ming to protest against the action of
the federal government in depriving the
SheepraiSerS of these states of the right
to pasture their sheep as formerly on
the Uintah reservation. This conven-
ton will be held in the Grand opera
house in this city on Saturday, June 3,
beginning at o'clock. A formal call
for this meeting will be sent at once
to all interested
committee on arrangements, COM
posed of w. L. Pickard, E. H. Callister
and Frank B. Rudy, was appointed;
and one on speakers, composed of
Stearn Hatch, Thomas Jones and w. H.
Haigh. 1t is the intention of the COM
mittee to have Governor Wells for one
of the speakers, as he is conversant
with the situation, and. it is under
stood, SympathiZeS with the Sneepmen.
Other good speakers from this state
and Wyoming will be on the pro-
gramme.
These men are in deep earnest in this
movement. They assert there are $780,
600 sheep now grazing in the neiShbor-
hood of this reservation. Fully one-half
of these are dependent upon the Uintah
reservation for paSturage. If they are
driven off there, the industry will be
crippled to that extent, because these
sheep will have no place to go. The
lower ranges are now overstocked with
out them This will mean an annual
loss to the sheepmen of that country
of 81, 900, 900 per year.
The ostensible reason given by the
government for this action is that it
wishes to protect the forests on this
reservation. This the sheepmen assert
is poor logic. The sheep, they say,
never injure the trees. On the contrary,
they save them from destruction by
fire, as they eat the weeds and. grass
from beneath. The reservation is noun
famous and is therefore fitted only for
sheep grazing. It is too high for cattle,
but the snow in the mountains is just
what sheep require in summer.
A government official is now on his
way out to enforce the order. and trou-
BILE is anticipated between the govern
ment and some who have ignored the
order.
