ROGERS WANTED HIS MONEY.
Unless Accepted at the Hospital No
Guardian VIII BE Named.

William Rogers. who has given the po-
lice so much trouble and was adjudged in
sane Thursday, caused scene in the pro-
bate department at the courthouse yester-
Gay. He has about $500 in money, and as
he had been adjudged insane. it was neces-
sary to have a guardian appointed to take
care of it. He talked very nationally TO
Judge Walker, except when he referred TO
a band of forty men he thought pursuing
him to take his money. He protested
against the appointment of a guardian,
saying he wanted his liberty and money.
He gave no explanation of how he came
by the money. implying that it was none
Of the courts business, but said he could
take care of it. To prove this assertion
he said he had $1,000 when he started to
travel a year and half ago, and had s66l
left. He said he had gone all over the
United States. Judge Walker thought a
man capable of exercising such economy
was able to care for his own funds, and
unless he is accepted at the insane hospital
no guardian will be appointed.
When the officers started to leave the
court room with Rogers, he resisted and
began crying Murder, they are trying 10
rob met His yells resounded throughout
the corridors of the courthouse. bringing
all the clerks to the doors Every one
excitedly asked what was the matter and
when the situation was explained, unani-
nous sigh of relief expressed the feeling of
everybody in the building.
