A CASE OF IDENTITY

/ was sitting down to breakfast when
there was a ring at the door, and the
maid handed me this note:
Dear Charles: Come round to the
police court and bail me out; I'm in
trouble. Nothing serious, but don
want to stay here n longer than
necessary. Yours.
HENRY FARNHAM.
1 swallowed a cup of coffee and hur-
ried off to police court. What in the
world could the steady. matter of fact
Henry Farnham have been doing to
get himself jagged? When / arrived
l learned at the desk that Henry Farm
ham, a notorious %swindler. had beer
arrested late the night before at a
hotel. He was marched out for my
inspection.

During this colloquy the prisoners

a teri iffic dread. He looked like a man
who had been caught in a trap and a
just beginning to realize that he might
never get out of it.. We were shown
into a private room. where by a knowl-
edge of my affairs he soon convinced
me hat he was what he pretended to
be. Then he went on to tell me that
he had ben on a trip and had returned
at midnight. He lived in a suit OF
rooms in a private house along dis
lance from the depot and was sure he
would find the door OF his lodging
house locked. so he went to the -
hotel. a rather infe. Tor house. but the

speelal pieratch 70 rhs can.

SEATTLE, June 25.-Joseph Klemer'
a butcher on the steamship Excelsior
was raving maniac this morning
when the vessel arrived from Alaska,
all because he thought he saw his
wife's face mirrored in the waters when
he looked over the side Of the vessel
four days ago. A believer in super
stitions and omens, this meant to
Klemer that some one was plotting
against the wife he had married in
Seattle six months ago and who was
awaiting his return. He thought that
some enemy was pursuing her and this
enemy he took to be her stepfather.
Being unable to help her, he became
madman and was put in irons. 1t re-
quired two jailers to carry him to the
County jail this morning, where
medical commission was summoned to
examine him.
The minute that Klemer saw his wife
and that she was not injured, he quiet
ed down and became almost perfectly
sane.
In Valdez, Alaska, lives Mrs Klein
er's stepfather, and it is said he has
always been trying TO make trouble
for the couple. 1t is declared that when
the mother of Mrs. Klemer died. her
stepfather tried to force her to marry
him, but she ran away. Some months
afterward she married Klemer and the
stepfather. according to the story told
by several witnesses. has been pursu-
ing the couple ever since.
