Kelly is married man and is said
to have stood we'll in Dubuque So
ciety until he began going the pace. "
His income would not meet his living
expenses, and it was necessary for
him to conceive ether means of win
ming gold. His plan, so it is report
ed here, was to win his way into the
condolences of those of the gentler
sex who would countenance his atten-
tions, and eventually separate them
from as much of their valuables as he
was able to get his hands on. His
operations were successful for awhile.
Victim Squeals.
But recently one of the victims COM
planned to the authorities. Kelly
heard of it and departed from Du-
buque last Saturday. He bought a
ticket for Rock Island. A telegram
describing Kelly and requesting his
arrest was forwarded to the Rock ISL

he was landed, as told above, by Dep

TRIES TO STOP A FUNERAL
Patrick Cassidy Causes CommotIon at st.
Joseph's Church.

Joseph's church.
Patrick Cassidy, a religious fanatic,
created a sensation at St. Joseph S
Catholic church yesterday afternoon
by attempting to prevent funeral
services over the remains of Patrick
Quinn. A large crowd was attracted
by Cassidy's insane performance. He
stood at the bier and demanded that
it be removed from the church.
Efforts we're made by Rev. Thomas
Mackiu and others to dissuade Cassidy
from his ridiculous course. but over
lures only had the effect of making
him wilder.
1t was finally necessary to invoke
the assistance of the police. Officer
Barney NcCabe was detailed on the
case. He also endsavored to induce
Cassidy to leavethe church peaceably.
but to no avail.
When Cassidy saw the officer meant
bu siness he retreated toward the altar
of the church, drawing an ugly
pocketknife. with which he threatened
to kill the first one that laid hands on
him. He soon found, however, that
he was no equal for the officer and
others who volunteered in the chase,
and.he was Overpowered, and the knife
taken away from him, after which he
was Piloted to police headquarters.
The funeral service then proceeded.
Today Rev. Mackin made applica-
ton in the county court for an in
quiry into Cassidy's mental condi-
ton. Cassidy has on several occa-
sions interrupted services at St.
JosePh's church by rising from his
seat and addressing the priest in an
anarchistic manner.
Cassidy was adjudged insane this
afternoon.
