Mind GIVES way.
Mrs. Henry Breaks Down Under
Strain of Grief.
Brooded Over Arrest of Son on
Murder Charge.

Mrs. George Henry of 1S5 Chandler
street, mother of Ira Henry, who is be-
ing held for trial for the murder Of his
infant in Albuquerque, N. M, has lost
her reason as a result Of the shock Of
hearing the news of her sons arrest
Several years ago a younger son met
death by drowning in the KaW river
and Mrs. Henry's mind was seriously
affected for a time after that accident
She finally recovered, however, only
of course her mind was left in a weak
ened condition When the news con-
corning her son was brought to her, the
near friends and relatives were fearful
of the result of the shock.
The members of her family were very
careful to do everything in their power
for her relief. However, she has shown
such unmistakable signs of derange-
ment that they cannot remain longer in
doubt
She has not shown any signs of vfo-
lence, only seems to be a victim of mel
ancholia. She usually sits in one place
quietly nearly all day, with an occa-
sional burst of grief
I'VE hope" said one of the members
of the family, that she will eventually
recover the full and normal use of her
mind. We can't tell at the present time,
but we have hopes"
The date for the trial has been set for
the March sitting of the court. The
lawyers for the defense are busy pre-
pairing evidence to make a strong fight
for Henry's release.
This affair has suggested the topic for
a series of sermons which F. E. NAL
lory, pastor Of the Third Presbyterian
church. of which both Mr. and Mrs Ira
Henry were members, is giving. The
first sermon was delivered on the 25th
of November and dealt in a. general way
with the subject as brought into discus
sion by the development of this affair.
The subject of the series of lectures is
1.-THE Temptations of the Young" and
the lecture next Sunday night will be
,ioIT I0n feF,1 TOD inns
which beset the young people. The ser
mon last Sunday night outlined a
course Of reading which could be pur-
sued with profit by the young folks and
which would keep them at home even
ings instead of running over town and
getting into mischief.

OBJECT TO POLES.
Kenosha, Wis, Citizens Threaten to
Shoot q Construction Gang.

Kenosha, Wis, Dec. 5.-The extensions
that the Wisconsin Telephone company
are making in this city in the way Of
stringing wires and erecting new poles
was brought to a sudden stop today by
the action of one of the Kenosha's citi-
zens who objected to having the wires
strung by his house, and threatened to
back up his objection with a shooter.
Twenty eight years ago the telegraph
company attempted to string wires
along this residence street, and John T.
Yule, the present objector, led the tight
against them, and in the end won out.
The superintendent of construction has
sent posthaste to Milwaukee for the
manager in the hopes Of having the con-
troversy settled.
The first effort of Mr.. Yule was to OBJ
tain a temporary injunction against the
company, but in this he was foiled
through the discovery that they have a
perpetual franchise. However, there will
probably be a test case of the matter
In the meantime Mr.. Yu1e declares THAI
he will cut down any pole that the tele-
phone company dares to place on the
street.

and feathers, after which they ran him
into the country without his clothing.

Regarding the efforts made to secure
the Cramp ship yard, one man who IS
well informed in steel matters said:
More than year ago John c. Ross
ley, managing director of Vickers Sons
& Maxim came to America to purchase
the Cramp ship yard. At that time it
was understood that the negotiation fell
through. Beginning these negotiations
second time means probably that a pur-
chase will be made. Vickers Sons &
Maxims are the giants of the business
the krupps of England-and have un-
limited capacity. They can afford to buy
Cramps and the Midvale outright if they
care to, but more likely it is to be a
stock purchase That the English con-
Germ will complete the purchase do not
doubt
