SAMPLE Is INSANE
Jury I'm County Court Passes Upon
Mental Condition of n Well
Known Veteran.
RESULT OF FULTON RIOT
Skull Was Fractured Seven Years Ago
While Assisting in Wood
men Removal.

As a result of being struck on the
head with a rock thrown by member
of mob seven years ago at Fulton
when the citizens of that place resist
ed the removal of the records Of the
Modern Woodmen TO Rock Island,
Constable George w. Sample, former
turnkey at the Rock Island county
Jail and until recently proprietor of
second hand store between Fifteenth
and Sixteenth streets on Second ave
nue. has become insane.
He was brought into the county
court yesterday afternoon and an in
vestigation relative to his mental con
dition was made by jury consisting
of DR.. G. T. Foster, ii. c. Harris, S. S.
Hull, DR.. |. B. SOuders, F. A. Leith-
ner and F. w. Preacher. He was taken
to Watertown hospital last evening.
Upon learning the finding of the jury
the patient became enraged and
threatened to kill any who might have
anything to do with the decision. AT
ter much difficulty he was quoted.
Member of Notable Expedition.
Mr.. Sample was with the train load
vi IOCh lSlduu ClilLtiS. W ~ "Cll'
to Fulton seven years ago TO secure
the records of the Woodmen office and
bring them here, after the removal
of the head Office had been voted by
the society. The events of that triI
are wildly recalled by all who par
ticipated. In the melee that ensued
Mr.. Sample was struck on the head
with a rock. sustaining a fracture of
the skull which is believed to be the
cause of his present mental condition.
Of late he has shown signs of men
tai alteration. He imagined himself
to be the owner of various tracts of
valuable Rock Island real estate and
told his wife that he was going TO es-
tablish an immense second hand store
on piece of his property. He had
constructed hut at his home which
he called a secondhand store and said
that he was going to use that until he
had built his new store. Yesterday he
began tearing down his recently con-
struCted hut and moving it out into
the street, and his wife asked the au-
thorities to restrain him. Mr.. Sample
is about 20 years of age. a veteran OF
the civil war and member of the local
U. V. U. post.

other Call Unauthorized.
| In the discussion of the situation it
developed that the call appearing in
the republican paper of this city for
1.-THE congressional convention and to
which appear the names of LOoney as
| chairman and CIV. a. CromptOn, sec
IretaTy," was issued without consulting
any of the members of the committee
except w. a. Compton. of McDonOugh
county. whose name was made to APP
| pear as that of the secretary of the
committee. and who explained that he
gave no authority for the use of his
name in that connection, but merely
as a member of the committee with
the supposition that the other members
would b consulted and their indorse-
mCnt secured before the call appeared.
The call. all the members of the
| committee agreed, was irregular in all
respects, one of the chief shOrtCom-
| ings being that ii fixed no basis of rep
IresentatiOn, and in fact had been given
no circulation throughout the district.
and hence the delegates in the various
counties had no knowledge of its exist
ence. In the light of these facts the
committee had but one thing to do.
and that TO issue a call in complete form
and give it sufficient circulation to in
sure proper representation on the part
OF the party.

stating that he proposed to run the
convention he had called, so the COM

without him.

called to the chair, and F. NJ. Carna-
han. of Mercer county, was elected sec
rotary.
