Mrs. Maggie T.. Cleary, wife of William
Cleary, a farmer living near Weston. was
brought before the commissioners on in
sanity yesterday morning on complaint of
her husband. Mrs. Cleary recently under
went a serious operation for cancer, which
proved unsuccessful, and worrying over this,
in addition to her poor health, has made
her mentally deranged. She is so years OF
age and has two sons, whom she idolizes.
Since her sickness she has been subject to
Authorizations and imagines that she has
killed her two bows. A few days ago she
was taken to the home of a sister, who
offered to nurse her, but she refused any at
%tention, insisting she had killed her sons
and ought not TO be allowed to live. The
sons were sent for and even when brought
before her 1t was almost impossible TO
make her believe that they were her
children.
The board adjudged her insane and or
dered her committed to Clarinda, where she
was taken yesterday afternoon by Sheriff
Cousins, accompanied by Cleary and a
woman friend.

members of the Board OF Supervisors TO
Judge Thornell that he entered into an
agreement with them that the bailiff of
the grand jury should only receive pay
for the time that the grand jury was ac-
tually in session. On the other hand, Sheriff
Cousins says he insisted that he should be
allowed the services of two bailiffs at least,
who should be considered permanent Off
GERS and receive pay as such. Sheriff Cous-
ms is of the opinion that the court will up
hold him and that Bailiff Peterson will
finally receive his pay as a permanent
officer.
Bailiff Peterson is still at work regularly
and IL the county board persists in refusing
to allow him pay except for such time as the
grand jury is in session, he will bring suit
against the county to recover it.

GREGORY SAYS HE'S BEEN ABUSED
Putting I'm His Leisure Time in Jail
Writing Letters.

4 Z
j. A. Gregory, the desperado, whose trial
is set for tomorrow in the district court, has
been putting in his leisure time in the county
Jail writing letters to the newspapers, in
which he protests against the unjust treat
ment he claims he is receiving at the hands
of the authorities.
In the first place he charges the authori-
ties with placing his bond too high TO pre-
vent his relatives and friends from securing
his release. He says that if he could secure
his release temporarily he could produce wit
nesses that would be 'indisputable before a
Judge and Jury as to his innocence of the
charges that have been placed against him.
He claims to have been robbed of his per-
sonal property and says he had s195 when
he was arrested and that his money was at
tached as illegal gotten proceeds" If he is
| allowed a fair trial he says he can prove he
came by it honestly.
He insists that in justice to him he should
be allowed a further continuance, as he
wishes to secure witnesses from the vicinity
of Loveland, who were there at the time he
shot Moss. If he was at liberty he could
find these people, but does not know who
they are.
He takes a slap at his attorney and ac-
cuses him of not attending diligently to his
case. He says also he has been the victim
of an attorney from Lincoln, to whom he
| gave a bill of sale of a wagon on condition
that the attorney would help defend him.
The attorney, Gregory claims, secured the
! wagon, but has never shown up since.
AS his trial approaches, and as Gregory
sees there is no chance for a further delay,
he is becoming daily more morose and sui
len, and it is thought he will give some
trouble when the time comes to take him
into court. He has frequently made the
threat that he will never be taken into court
