WOMAN WAS DEMENTED.
Hid in Cane Patch Near the Lincoln
Park

People living in the vicinity OF Lincoln
park had a little excitement of their
own yesterday morning and incidentally
little scare. all caused by slightly
demented woman with rake. The wo-
man was first discovered in Lincoln park,
where she was busily working. raking the
grass and leaves into a pile. The park
policeman accosted her and she said she
was preparing the park for the concert
which was to be given in the evening.
He realized that something was wrong
and began to use strategy in order 10
get her out of the park. When he asked
her if it would not be good idea to rest
awhile after her exertions. she said:
wei, don't know but that it would "
and planted herself on a pile of grass
she had raked up. She remained luiet
for few minutes and told the police
man her name was Jones.
Suddenly she spied a crowd of cf1ildr IN
across the street and made for them with
a rake. They fed at the sight of the
demented woman with the rake and after
she had cleared the street she ran for
a nearby cane patch. By this tine 4
crowd of neighbors had gathered. but
before they could intercept her flight she
had buried herself in the cane patch.
A large woolly dog Joined her just as
she entered the cane and his brist5ng
and threatening manner removed from
the neighbors all idea Of following her.
They circled around the patch in the
hope of catching her when she came
out. but at last reports last night She
refused to be caught and was making
herself very comfortable in the big rstch
of capa
