 Frank McMorrow, the mysterious, who was supposed to have been buried some time ago after the greatest com motion that ever proceeded funeral, was before Judge Burpee in the city court to-day charged with intoxication and breach of the peace. The evi- dence of his intoxication was furnished by Lieut. Dodds. Regarding the other complaint no evidence was taken Mrs Pollard, his sister-in-law, did not ap- pear in court. McMorrow, 1t seems, had some trouble with her about u book. which belonged to hex and which he tried to sell. He ran away with the book and she ran after him and overlook him on North Main street. They adjourned to grocery store and there McMorrow again broke away. He was arrested on North Elm street. Judge Burpee asked if the man had record and he was told that he had been dead and buried. A fine of $15 and costs was imposed. Charles Sweeten and Fred Geise were fined l S5 for riding their bicycles through the green. They are strangers here. After court it developed that Me Morrow has a double. As the people were leaving the room the court nt- taches and usual loungers gazed in wonder at man who appeared to be McMorrow. Only minute before McIorrow was seen issuing into the police station and yet here he was now going out the door leading to the corri- dor in the city hall.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
Man at Brookside Home Tried to Hang
 Himself

Himself.
 The Brookside home had it's sensation yesterday and the boarders have not been able to think of anything else since. At first it was supposed to be suicide. but owing to the efforts of MT Moran, aided by this faithful lieu tenant, Martin Hickey, the thing amounted to nothing worse than a big scare. One of the boarders, Ichabod Studley, was somewhat disturbed i'll mind the past few days, and in order to prevent him from harming himself or others it was decided to put him ill cell where there didn't appear to be the remotest chance of his doing any thing out of the way. At noon some one reported to Mir Moran that Studley was hanging from the iron bars over head and on investigation it was found that the man had tied his suspenders together, twisted one end of them around his neck, coupled the other to one of the iron bars and then let himself hang. When Mir Moran discovered him his tongue was out and he was black in the face. He was taken down and car ried into the hallway and restoratives applied. After working over him for half an hour or so and seeing no signs of life, Mir Moran concluded that Stud | ley was dead, and was in the act of turning away from the body when he noticed a slight twitching of the face This gave him some encouragement and l operations were again resumed, and in l five or ten minutes more the man was all right. 1t was close call and when Studley thinks it over it Is probable l that he will not be able to tell what prompted him to try self destruction. 1 Papers for the commitment to the
 state insane asylum of Studley were I signed by Judge Benton in the court
 of probate to-day.

ago the delegates Of Argentina, Para

point of withdrawing because of the
unwillingness of the remainder of the
republics to accept the plan ccntem-
