Insane Woman at Wichita Gre

Suddenly Appears in the Lobby
Rocking a Rag Baby.
SACK FOR MASK.
Caused Considerable Excitement
at Drug Store, Also.
Finally Taken to Police Station
in the Patrol Wagon.

Wichita, Kas., Jan "A middle aged
woman dressed entirely in black with
a paper sack over her head with holes
punched for her eyes. and carrying
rag baby in her arms. suddenly appear
ed in the lobby of the Carey hotel late
in the afternoon
She was insane and her wild actions
and peculiar appearance soon attracted
the attention of every one in the room.
She would not answer questions asked
her but kept up such a continual fuss
that policeman was sent for When
the word Policeman" was mentionec
she gathered her rag baby tightly in her
arms and before any one could stop her
she rushed out of the hotel and down
East Douglas When she reached
drug store shire stopped and looked in
the window, then walked in. Here she
began her ineantations again. She
rocked the rag baby in her arms and
put uD a most pitiful howl in which
there was not word that could be I'M
derstoOd. She walked up and down the
floor making a sound that seemed to
be half moan and half laugh. The
clerks stood in awe for a few minutes,
then seeing that something must be
done, she was ordered to take the sack
OFF her head She paused In her mad
e-@AeA
the mask from her face. There was no1
a person present who did not take
step backward. The face presented was
k!d1OIS. Over her features played the
smile that is so often seen on maniacs.
Her front teeth were gone and her
whole face was haggard beyond de-
scription.
When asked to give her name and where
she lived she began moaning and waving
her arms toward the ceiling. Then she
was given a paper and pencil and told to
write her name. but the marks she made
could not be read She threw the pencil
aside and again commenced to walk the
floor, all the time fondltng- and petting
the rag baby just as though it were a live
child.
She was allowed to continue her walk
until two policemen arrived. They also at
tempted to get her name, but could no.
and she was taken to the police station in
the parol wagon
While the station she was questioned
further, and it appears that she is not
only insane but was dumb. The poor de-
mented woman was confined in the police
station last night while the police investi-
gated and trier to find her home and rel
atiyes.

the report that the western capitalist
who fnanciered the Western league
through its last seasons campaign
against the American association. IS
contemplating the invasion Of Chicago
with a minor league club as a counter
attraction to Hickey's proposed venture.
It has been previously announced that
the Western league cOntemplates fur
Their expansion the coming season. and
If such a move is contemplated the in
vasion Of Chicago would naturally be
the first move in such a campaign.
If Nanbrunt should come into Chicago
he viii undoubtedly do his best to get
the South side grounds from Comiskey,
and 50 that the visit of Vanbrunt may
increase the proba bility Of the White
Stockings proposed move to the West
side quarters next season. 1t is be-
heved that Vanbrunt yesterday tried to
get an option on "Comy's" park, al
though the White Stocking magnate
would not say so
Should Nanbrunt invade Chicago it is
possible that the war between the West
ern league and the American association
may be renewed more vigorously than
ever The truce between the two
leagues was an armed one however,
the two organizations simply agreeing
to respect contracts and compete for
business wherever their interests con-
hlcted, with the survival of the fttest''
the only outcome of such competition.

MAY GET A CAR LINE.
Hutchinson Hopes 20 Have New
One Soon.


Hutchinson. Kas., Jan. 2.-The News
says: p. B. Price is still hammering
away on the motor car line proposition.
He claims that his people, the Bloom
ingtOn capitalists, are the only ones
who will give Hutchinson a new street
railway system within the next two
years. They viii have motor cars in
operation here within ninety days after
their proposition is accepted, and no
other company can do the same for the
reason that they have an option for two
years on any cars Of the sort to be used
in Hutchinson.
It is this option that makes it neces-
sary to deal with the Bloomington cap
italists if Hutchinson is to have street
car line within a reasonable time. To
guard against any one else taking ad-
vantage of their plans the Bloomington
people secured a promise from the
manufacturers of the motor cars, that
they would sell none of their cars to
anyone to be used in Hutchinson for
period Of two years. This is why W. H.
Eagan was assured when he was IN
Chicago that no cars would be built for
the market within six months and that
it would be impossible to furnish any
for this city within eight months AL
the end of that time no doubt the time
limit would be extended until the two
years were consumed, as per agreement
with the Bloomington capitalists. So
that the chance of any local company
or anybody else building 8 motor car
line in Hutchinson within the next two
years has gone glimmer1ng, and It Is
either an acceptance of the Bloomington
proposition or no car line
This proposition IS a sort or double~
header. It is proposed to put the two
hundred lots south of the park into an
allotment and sell them for 800 each.
the lots to be awarded to the purchasers
by lot This is the first proposition. +
is proposed that the Commercial clun
or any other responsible organiza ton
take charge of the allotment. The other
proposition is to sell the 100 choicest lots
for $3.50 each. This would neeessitate
the formation of a syndicate to nego-
tate the deal, as some of the lots are
worth more than others. The Bloom
ington people would be satisfied with
either proposition, and it is up to those
who wish to see a car line built here to
decide which proposition is the better
As to the value of the lots, an expert
enced real estate agent has appraised
the best 100 lots as follows: Ten, $3.50
each: sixteen. 5000 each: twenty-eight,
$50 each. and forty-six at S125, making

Ceremony at Hutchinson Postponed
in an Unexpected Manner.

Hutchinson, Kas., Jan. "A fire at
the home Of Mrs Randall, 223 Fourth
avenue east, about 2 o'clock Thursday
afternoon interrupted the wedding of
Prof. Z. NJ. Scott and Miss Lillian Ran
dali, both teachers in a business college
in this place. and the ceremony had to
be suspended until the fire was ex-
tinguished.
On the way to the fire the hose wagon
of the fire department was overturned
and two fremen, Al Lee and Marsh
Nicholson, were injured. Following the
accident to the hose wagon a street
car started to pass the pile of spilled
hose, when the team nearly overturned
the street car. It was a string of mis-
haps, but none of them was serious and
the fire itself was of no consequence.
It was extinguished by the time the de-
partment reached there with the extra
reel of hose.
Prof. Scott and Miss Randall had jusl
stood I'D and Joined hands in the mar
riage ceremony when smoke was no.
ticed issuing from the ceiling in great
quantities. Instantly the ceremony
ceased and the groom rushed away to
give the fire alarm. The bride at once
thought of the interrupted ceremony
and there was a flood Of tears. She took
it as an i'll omen. and could hardly be
persuaded to continue the ceremony.
