LODGED IN JAIL.
Became Violent on Religion and Had
TO Be Confined.

Mangum, o. T., Sept. S.-Thomas Faux
of Marie, was brought to Mangum and
lodged in Jail for safe keeping-a raving
and dangerous maniac. He had been at

subject of religion. He became so violent
that something had to be done with him
and H. V. Burnett. a neighbor. volun-
teered to bring the deranged man to
Mangum and turn him over 10 the au-
thorities. On the way Faux picked up
hammer that was in the wagon and hit
Burnett a terrific blow on the side of the
head. But for the fact that il was a
glancng blow. and the further fact that
his hat protected his head TO some ex-
tent, Mr.. Burnetts earthly career would
probably have terminated. but as it was
he retained consciousness and succeeded
in getting the hammer away from the
crazy man and finally got to town with
him. but il was perilous ride for Mr..
Burnett Faulk is thirty-two years OF
age and has a wife and four children.
The wife is almost distracted over the
awful affiiction. Faulk is a farmer and
was hard working. honest and capable
man until his stroke came upon him.
He breaches and prays almost continually
and it is distressing to hear him.
