 For over four years now the resi- dents of East Prescott who live north of Gurley street have been compelled to tramp through mud between Ma rina street and Alarcon on account of lack of sidewalk. This too in face of the fact that the old board walks taken up when the street was graded. are tilted up on end and if simply turned over, would enable pedestri ans to avoid whole lot of inconven fence and discomfort. If the city does not propose to build, or to have built sidewalk there, few coal cin- ders along where the walk should be would add to the situation. This con dition of affairs has been prolonged to point where forebearance ceases to be virtue.
 Patrick Bracken, who has been an employe of the s. F. P. and P. rail road for the past six or seven years, was examined last evening by Probate Judge Hicks and committed to the asylum at PheniX to which institution he was taken by Deputy Sheriff Heis Ter last night. His case is sad one for the poor fellow is sober, industri ous and seems to be perfectly rational on every subject except one, his delu sion being that certain people in Pres colt have been putting the witches on him, and they have tried to hypnotize him and put big bugs all over him and down his neck. He says these bugs crawl all over him and have d terrible smell that almost chokes him. He will pray for hours at time for the bugs to leave and will build fires to smoke them of. He is per l fectly harmless and molests no one. ecNept with his hallucination.
