Given Dunlap Scare.

John Hughes, a drug clerk in the
little town of Dunlap, down toward
Peoria, was taken through this city
this morning on his way to the Wat
ertown hospital where he will be con
fined. Hughes has been almost violent
for some time from the use of drugs
and has been filling prescriptions
while in that condition. At the hear
ing when he was declared insane the
court and the medical commission
were shocked to hear him confess that
for some time he had been taking as
much as four grains of morphine day
enough to kill man. Hughes did
not know his wife when she came to
see him, in a vain hope that something
might be done for him. The heart
broken woman then filed the petition
for the formal hearing.
