INSANE MAN
Calls Upon the County Attor-
ney and Asks
TO BE TAKEN CARE OF
Said He Had Been a Morphine Fiend
for Twenty Years--Tw0 Men
Followed Him.

once in a while the county attorneys
office receives a call from a queer person,
but one that paid his respects TO the
place today took the prize. He was an
emaciated looking fellow with a peculiar
glimmer in his eyes. On entering the
office he took a seat near the west wall
of the ante-room to await his turn. AS
soon as Cornelius Kelly. the chief dep
uty, had finished the business in which
he was engaged when the stranger en-
tered. he stepped out of his own apart
ment and asked the caller is he wished
to see some one.
Yes was the reply. Il wish to see
the county attorney"
What is your business?" asked Mr..
Kelly.
Il am insane was the prompt re-
Spouse.
AS soon as Mr.. Kelly recovered from,
the shock he began questioning the man
and soon found himself face to face with
a lunatic.
My name is Robert Grow" said the
man. land l came from Rawlins, Wyo.
| am pretty sure I am crazy and you
would be doing me a favor if you would
have me attended to. For twenty years
l have been a morphine tiend. Every
where l &c two men follow me and l
cannot get rid Of them. I saw them in
Ogden, Pocatello and Butte. Every time
I get a job of work they go to my en-
ployer and tell him l am a morphine
tiend, a user OF cocaine and am insane.
I must have work. but can't get it on
account Of these two men,"
Just keep your seat a minute" said
Mr.. Kelly.
With this remark he left the room,
called the sheriff, and the latter arrested
Grow and locked him up.
Grow made no resistance, being per-
fectly willing to be deprived of his lib
erty.

We're astonished to see two big black
bodies the size of oil barrels come to the

them as PROPOSES. The larger was fully
10 feet long. while the other was probably
eight feet from nose to tail.

soon had both of the porpoises cornered
in less than three feet of water. The
sharp gaffs were then brought into use.

few feet away from us, it would leap
three or -four feet out of the water and
utter a sound, half grunt, half moan,

those strange actions, that the big fish

net Of fish. and during that time the por-
pose was never more thar so feet away.
When we finally dropped the pocket OF
