Minneapolis. Mimi, Oct. ga ter
rife battle W tina maniac took place in
the county jail, as a result of which
Jailor Quinn, was sent to his home,
and may lose the sight Of one eye.
The sheriff of Cokato brought an in

day evening for safe keeping, and be-
fore he had been there long, the diff
Guilty of living up to the new law pro-
hibiting the confinement of insane pa
tients in a Jail, was shown.
The insane man made great trouble
Tuesday night, and it was found imper-
alive to Place him in the old insane
ward built especially for the purpose
and used before the law of last year
prohibited the use of bars and jails.
The next morning, when Tailor
Quinn went into the cage to attend to
the patient, the maniac tore a heavy
steel bar from the wall and struck him
a terrific blow over the eye.
Luckily the door had been swung and
the JallOr q strength enough lett TO
turn the key, before he became weak
and almost unconscious.
He called for help and vas assisted
into the Jail Office. DR.. Kistler was
sent for at once and the ugly wound
was dressed. Had it struck a trifle to
II side it would have meant death.
AS it is serious results may develop,
and the eye may be blinded.
All this time the maniac kept up a
fearful racket. His bowls rang
through the corridors, while the inces-
SAINT clang' of the steel weapon rang up
on the bars OF, the cage and vibrated
on the steel-sheeted walls.
Several deputies went to the cage
room accompanied by Chief Deputy
Jones, and there the man threatened
their lives, at the same time striving
to hew his way to freedom. Later,
however, the deputies succeeded in
quieting him.
