Believing that his wife, whom he mar
ried seven months ago. had deserted him,
curg Barker, Is years old, whose home
has been at 1873 West street, Cripple
Creek, became insane on his way to Dem

May he was taken to the city Jail where
he denuded himself of his clothes and
acted so violently insane that he was
taken to the county hospital aud placed
in a padded cell
Physicians at the county hospiial said
that Barker's insanity was due to over in
dulgence in strong waters. Two weeks
ago he left his wife in Cripple Greek and
went to Idaho Springs to get work. Be
cause she did not follow him Immediately
the young husband began to imagine
direful things and soughs oblivion in
drink. The worry and whisky upset his
mind SO that when he arrived in Denver
he told the police surgeon marvellous
story of husband deserted by his wife
after seven months of married life. He
said in his raving that she was in Denver
and had answered neither letters nor
kilograms addressed to her. He further
more asserted that she had taken another
name bere-that of Ida Moore.
At the county hospital this morning he
was quite sane. He heard indirectly
from his wife yesterday. She had not
gone to Idaho Springs because she was
waiting to hear from him, and in the
meantime had gone to live with her par
ents in Cripple Creek.
Barker was extremely penitent this
morning. mo more whisky for me, .
said he, land as for that imagination Of
mine, I'll put crimp in it, 90 that l
J won't believe anything unless see it,"
