A strange case of insanity was
brought to the city this morning
by safe Ranger ]. B. Tounsend
and taken charge of by City Physi-
clan Z. +. Layton, who had the
patient placed in jail for safety to
himself and others. The man is a
stranger here, his name being given
by himself as John Kuenzel. He
has been working on the Lott rail-
road for some months, and his fell
low workmen noticed recently that
his actions were far from rational.
A few days ago he developed an
hallucination which caused him to
fear that someone wanted to burn
him alive. The other day he took
a red hot iron from one of the
blacksmith s fires at the construc-
ton camp and burned himself sew
erely on the face. burning hole
through the nose, and also putting
out his left eye with the iron.
When found by Ranger Town
send, the poor man was on the
railroad bridge at the Arroyo,
about to jump into the water below,
saying that God had told him this
was too wicked world for him to
i've in. Townsend persuaded him
10 return to the bank, promising
% give him a pistol to end his life
With, and then took charge of the
Door fellow, bringing him to town.
Kuenzel appears to be about forty
ears old and is of medium build. |
from all reports it seems to be a |
case. None of his CO.
workers know anything about his
amily or where he came from.
Dr.. Layton is much distressed
bout the case, and its probable
esults. The patient is resting as
asily as could be expected under
he circumstances.
