MAN WITH DOLLAR
ACTS THE LUNATIG
Queer Actions Of William Haust
Causes Him TO be Arrested and
Locked-upas a Lunatic
Suspect.
Entertains Reporter and Gives Him Part of His
Lte-story--Skins His Teeth Magnifcently
So His Age Can be Ascertained


William Haust was arrested at 1880
O'clock Saturday morning on West Pike
street by Officers White and shaclelford
and taken to the city prison, where he
is now imprisoned awaiting u dispose.
tion of his case.
There is scarcely a doubt that he 5
demented. All the morning, ha chased
around the sweets in the central AMI
business portion Of the ety. acting in
a very queer manner, but he succeeded in
eluding the police until they ran on.
him unexpectedly. He submitted to ar.
rest after slight resistance, but it was
necessary for both Of them to take
hand in guiding him to his present abode.
A silver dollar seemed to, play a con-
siderable figure in his actions. He re-
peatedly tossed it into the aid and caught
it in the palm of his hand every time. 1t
descended. There was system and regu-
larity enough in his movement to keep
the dollar from escaping him. In other
words, there was method enough in his
madness. he muttcred something every
time the piece of money was tossed up,
but just what he said no one heard.
In the city prison, looking patiently
through the bars, he told part OF hi
life story, to reporter. He said his
home IS in Indiana county, Pa, where
.his family is nov. When asked Die
-nunber in his family he replied that It
would be necessary for him to return
home to find out. He was of the opia-
ion that his wife's assertion along that
line would be more accurate. He told
the reporter, when asked about 1ris age,
that the horse traders usually looked
at the teeth to find out. and then he
very politely and obligingly skinned his
teeth, somewhat after the fashion Of
the hero Of San Juan hin, for the re-
porter. and remarked that he hoped TINT
would give the required information. The
news-gatherer concluded that he was
about s5 years Of age. He might be
little younger or little older, as
his molars were in somewhat bad cond-
ton.
Haust says he worked a while for the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad company, but
that he IS willing to work for some on
else now. He had bank book in his
pocket, showing that lie had money in
the bank No action has yet been taken
in his case, but Iunacy proceedings viii
be instituted.
The fellow has been around the streets
for several days, acting very queer!y.
One day he was seen on the postoffce
corner tossing a paper and throwing it
to the ground and tramping upon it
as If he would get vengeance.
His Is one Of the extraordinary cases
which come to the notice Of the police
and, while they believe he is mentally
unbalanced, yet only medical examina.
ton viii reveal the true condition of hi.
mind. He appears to be a temperat,
man, and was not under the influence o.
firewnter when arrested.
