past the Aberdeen street station, SO
that neither the rest Of the train mol
the station might catch fire. The car
was left alone and fire engine was
called.

car suddenly started. With no one on
board, and leaving trail of fire and
smoke behind 1t, the runaway began
the wild race down town When the
car stopped at the loop entrance the

Rather Than Accept n IL 1-2

point of view.

MANIAC CLIMBS
STATUE ON DOME
Eludes His Guards BY Sitting on
Figure $50 Feet In Air.
HUNDREDS SEE PERFORMANCE
Sister of the Craxed Man Finally
Persuades Him to Come Down
and He 10 Then Re-
captured.

Liberty, Mo-, July 2S.-Alonzo Has-
gard, an insane man, escaped from his
guards in the court house here Friday
morning at 1880 o'clock. and climbed
upon the high dome of the building.
Haggard is subject to epileptic fits,
they coming upon him frequently.
Five men were required to control
him when he was taken in charge
Friday. He seemed quiet Friday
morning when taken to the sheriff's
Office in the second story of the court
house. While the guards were at the
door he made dash up stairway
leading to the attic. From there he
escaped through an opening to the
roof. When the guards reached the
roof they saw the crazed man rapidly
climbing the dome on skeleton lad
der used by painters.
On reaching the narrow level space
at the bottom of the dome, he ran
around it until he saw another iron
ladder used by painters.
He was then at the base of the God
dess Of Liberty, and pulled himself up
the figure, part of the way by the
lightning rod. He swung around the
high figure in most dangerous way,
$50 feet from the ground.
Sheriff Wymore climbed up near
him, and tried to induce him to come
down, but he merely stared at him.
He lay down on fiat space 18 inches
wide as if going to sleep. From there
down to the roof of the court house Is
distance of 40 feet.
A struggle with him here would
probably have meant the death of the
unfortunate man and those who should
try to capture him. Therefore he was
left alone, great crowds in the mean.
while watching him from the streets.
About two o'clock Friday afternoon
he climbed the Goddess Of Liberty,
where he seated himself on her shouL
der The statue is Is feet high, and as
he clung to the lightning rod people
on the streets turned their faces away
expecting every minute to see the rot
give away. He got all right, how.
ever, and amused himself by playing
with the weather yane on the rod. La.
ter he descended and sat in his old
place on the coping.
Haggard was recaptured at $40
o'clock in the afternoon by Sheriff
Wymore. He was induced to come
down by his sister, who was sent from
the attic by trap door in the roof
She pacified him, but he kept close to
the foot Of the ladder leading up the
dome, ready to run up If anyone else
appeared. While his sister held his
attention, the sheriff went out on the
roof from the opposite side of the
dome, and slipped up behind him be-
fore he could run back up the ladder
The bees in the statue stung Hag
gard several times. He was sent to
the asylum at st. Joseph.
