as no attempt has been made to have
Gilchrist proved insane When Gilchrlst
killed his wife and ran almost naked
for two miles to the neighbors to tell
them the sad news, it was supposed
beyond all doubt that he was violently
insane and also that he would be tried
before the insane commissioners and
probably sent to the asylum. Since
then his actions have been of such ma
tire that it Is now questionable as to
whether or not he is insane. Opin-
ion generally seems to be that he must
have been laboring under mental delu-
sions at the time the act was COM
mitted and for a day or SO afterward,
but that now the excitement OF the
tragedy has passed he has returned to
his normal mental condition. 1t has
been rumored that Gilchrist was treat
ing with one Of the local physicians for
some trouble in his head. That he had
told the physician that his wife was
trying to poison him. This however,
was not generally known and every one
of the numerous neighbors who testi-
fled before the jury at the coroner's in

TRAGEDY At CHARLES CITY.
a YOUNG Man Named Meyer Assaults
Sweetheart and Attempts Suicide.


Mason CITY. Nov 8. - The report
reached this city yesterday from
Charles City of tragedy which oc-
Cured just north of that city last eve
ming. A young man named Meyer, who
resides in Charles City, but who WORKS
on a farm few miles north, had been
to town and it is alleged had too freely
imbibed of the cheering cup. Return
Ing to the farmhouse where his sweet
heart resided, he asked her to accom-
pany him to church, she Immediately
refusing, stating he was drunk. He
flew into rage threatening her great
bodily harm, but soon leaving the
house. going to the barn. He carried
a. gun and sent a. bullet into the brain
Of the horse, an animal Of great worth.
Hearing the report of the gun the
girl was terrified, she being alone in
the house at the time The young
man returned to the house, again
asking the girl to accompany him to
church, but she refused, making her
exit from the room, and into a bed
room, slamnling the door in his face
as he followed. The enraged young
man sma shed in a panel of the door,
striking the girl terrible blow on the
head.
Thinking he had killed her he went
up stairs to his room and there at
tempted to end This life by slashdng his
throat.
Upon the return OF the girls father
the unfortunate young man was taken
to Charles City where medical aid
gave all assistance possible He had
not slashed the juglar vein, and will
in all probability pull thru all
right. The young lady was not injur-
ed to any great extent, the panel strik-
ing her in the forehead and raising a
large bump which was the extent of
her injury,
