SAYS sweetheart WAS TICKLE
Receipt of Wedding Cake Shocks
Samuel BrunsOn.

The fickleness of his sweetheart is be-
lieved by the City Hospital physicians TO
be the cause of the excited mental condition
of Samuel BrunsOn of No. 1011 Sidney
street. who is confined there in the observa-
ton ward.
Brunson says that he was until recently
a member of the Third United States Ar
tillery. and stationed at San Francisco. He
says that he became engaged to a Margaret
Mullen of San Francisco. When discharged
from the army. he came to this city and
worked as assistant engineer at the Amer
lean Brewing Companys plant.
A few days ago, he states, he received a
package from San Francisco. On opening
IL, he found that II was the announcement
of the marriage of his fiancee, and that q
piece of the wedding cake was inclosed. He
says that this news so shocked him that he
was not conscious Of his actions up to the
time of his Incarceration at the hospital.
The hospital doctors now think that he is
recovering his mental equilibrium, and will
soon be well.
