noon, suffering from violent dementia.
The case is a most mysterious one and
is puzzling the local ply sicians not a
little. On Sunday night Mr.. Moore
brought his train In from Montpelier
and registered in about 9:3O. About an
hour later he appeared at home, evident
ly Ill but went to bed without any indi-
cations Of serious symptoms. Yesterday
morning he was taken violently I'll and
vomited violently. A little later he
seemed to loose himself and destroyed
his train book and other papers and soon
became violent. Physicians were sum-
m oned but could not tell what was the
matter or do much for his relief. During
the day he became SO violent that at
times it took three men to hold him.
His mind seemed entirely gone and he
gave no account OF his dOings at all.
