WAS ADJUDGED INSANE
Miss Netfie SpraEue to be Sent to
State Asylum.

So'atC ASJ Ahhf-
Miss Nettie Sprague of 236 West Dewey
avenue. was tried for insanity in the pro-
bate court yesterday afternoon and was
adjudged insane by the Jury.
Nettie Sprague is a quiet appearing
woman, q years of age. She has lived in
Wichita for a number Of years, and &C
cording to the. complaint sworn to by
Samuel Sprague, her father, she has been
insane for six years. Her insanity has
been constantly increasing, and while she
is not usually troublesome, at times she
gets very angry and would, perhaps. be
dangerous if not watched. In the evil
dence it was brought out that previous
TO the first appearance of insanity she
was in poor health and that this is the
case at the present time. There has
been no change in her physical condition
during the six years she has been in
sane and in that time she has been treat
ed by several physicians, but there has
been no special treatment provided for
her.
At times 1t was shown she is very
melancholy but has never attempted to
end her life. One of the things most
noticeable about her case is that she
seems to have a Naturalization that she is
responsible for all the troubles of the
The neighbors seem to
be continually making signs to her and
suggesting things, and that she is con-
stantly kept under their influence. She
claims to be able to read their minds and
made the statement to the jury that
there was lots of electricity around her.
The idea that she is blamed for the
affairs seems to be con-
stantIy before her and when in the court
room did not care TO talk much else. She
knew her name and on some things
seemed quite rational, taking much in
terest in the court proceedings, but the
idea that the neighbors were making

it was thought by them that her in
