Wichita. Kan, April 30.-Mrs. Carrie
Nation. the noted saloon smasher' l.
confined in her cell in the county jail
here. raving mad. She is thought 10 Dc
only temporarily insane, however. Hct
| insanity was Saturday and yesterday
! of the most acute stage. She imaglnes
herself 10 be an apostle sent TO the
carts to rule it. She is confined III. a
dungeon cell. which has been padded
and everything is kept from her so
she cannot injure herself.
Mrs. Nations friends say that her IN
sanity fit is caused by the news OF her
brothers death at Lewisburg Satur-
day. He was her bondsman in numer-
Gus cases, and just before she went
voluntarily TO jail here he called her
up by telephone and offered to go on
her bond. but she refused, preferrlng
to serve time. Mrs. Nations first act
Of insanity was to assault her cellmate,
Mrs. Without, one of the two women
who assisted her in several raids. She
accused Mrs. Without of being a
Spy Sent by saloon Men
to gain confessions from her. She
slapped her and otherwise made life
dangerous until Sheriff Simmons con.
fined Mrs. Nation in a dungeon in the
! lower part of the Jail and put her on
bread and water. Every few hours she
would go into wild fits n talk un-
reasonably to herself. Saturday morn
ing when news came hat she had bet
ter get bond and come TO see her
brother she commenced growing
worse. James Ray, her attorney, and
Wilburt Jones, former Prohibition can
didate for mayor. called at her cell door
and offered TO go her bail. She yelled
at them wildly: go out of here. you
scullions of hell, or / will throw light
ming OF saints at o If / want to get
out of here I can fly through the walls.
The devil is in your hearts" Both
men were astounded, as they have
been her best friends since she
Commenced saloon smashing.
and Jones has acted as her bendsman
upon several occasions. Sheriff Sim
mons told her that she should accept
bond if she wanted to see her brother
alive, but she only commenced to
abuse him. No one is allowed near
her. David Nation. husband of the
saloon wrecker. who is spending his
vacation in Wichita, has been notified
of the serious condition Of his wife.
Physicians have examined her mental
condition, and they agree at times she
is a raving maniac, while at other
times she is as sane as any one could
be. 1t is generally attributed that her
raving was caused by solitary confine-
ment and the death of her brother.
Mrs. Nation was quieter last evening
and announced her intention CT going
to Lewisburg to-day. Bond has been
accepted for her release. Sheriff Sim
mons says he would be glad to get rid
Of her, as h is crazy.
