HAD MUCH TO RELATE
STRANGER WANTED SANITARY
OFFICER TO HOLD NIGHT SESSION.

John A. Beck, twenty-eight years old,
resident of Greenwood, a suburb of AL
tocna, Pa. reached this city yesterday aft
ernoon and called at police headquarters
to get assistance.
I'm in peck of trouble" he said when
he reached headquarters, but the officials
who heard his story thought he meant to
measure his troubles by the load.
He had conversed with Capt. Boardman
but few minutes before the police official
reached the conclusion that Sanitary Officer
Frank was the man 20 deal with him. Beck
was conducted to the second floor and in
troduced to the sanitary officer. He assured
the latter that the pleasure was all his and
proceeded TO tell of his numerous troubles
after loaded revolver and nearly 500 had
been taken from him.
In the first place the visitor conpla ned
that a nail had been driven into his back,
and he had come here for the purpose of
getting detectives to use the X-Fay him
to find il. His story was thai mambers OF
fraternaI organizations had knocked him
down and driven the nail TITO his anatomy.
Why they had done so he could not tell and
he was anxious to have the detectives solve
the problem fer him. The same men, he
claimed, had thrown him into Blair furnace,
near his home, and burned him. Another
name was being freely used in connection
with the~.J unietta canal" and without his
getting any benefits fIo,n its use. For this
reason he stated that lie wanted the canal
records searched.
His Friends Notified.
Sanitary officer Frank promised to do
ey erything he wanted but could listen to no
more of the strangers troubles. The latter
had more to tell, but said IT would take him
too long TO relate them unless the official
would grant him ''all night session"
This the official could not do, and Beck
was sent to the first precinct police station
and made comfortable. He said he had the
loaded revolver to protect himself against
the members of the fraternal organizations
who had misused him, but declared that he
would harm nobody who did not harm him.
A message was sent to his father, Bloom
ing Beck superintendent of the Pennsyiva-
MIA railroad shops at Greenwood. telling
him of his sons arrest and asking what he
wanted done. 1t is likely that the father
will come here and take him home.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 49,
Congressman Cushman of Washing

II myself, do not for moment think
that Senator Mitchell of Oregon has

WARMED VIPER AT HER HEARTH.
Butte Woman Almost Killed BY a
Couple She Befriended.

BUTTE, Mont, Jan. 1S.-A bastard
ly attempt to etherize to death Mary
Soda, an aged clearinghouse keeper,
was frustrated by the prompt action
of Charles Jones, a roomer, who,
aroused by the sound of hurrying
footsteps, investigated and found that
the woman lying on her bed in an in
sensible condition with a. cloth sat
urated with ether bound tightly around
her mouth.
Suspicion pointed towards Henry
and Mabel Liberty, a couple whom
Mrs. Soda had takent into her house
out of charity, because of their desti-
tute condition, and they were at
once placed under arrest.
Only after several hours of hard
work were physicians able to revive
the woman. The room was in the
greatest disorder, everything of value
being taken.

Some of the leading lawyers of
Vermont have declared the opinion
that for $1,000 the case could be car
ried to the United States supreme
court and a stay obtained for so long
a time at least that the woman would
never hang. Windsor people declare
the execution a disgrace to the state

FROZEN WHILE PRAYING.
Pathetic Tragedy Revealed by Finding
Mrs. o. Johnson's Body.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Jan. IS
Mrs. o. Johnson, SO years old, was
found dead this morning in her home,
301S Thirty fourth avenue S.
There was no fuel in the house. as
examination by the police disclosed,
and it was evident that the old woman
had frozen to death while sitting by
her diningroom table reading her
prayer book.
The lifeless body lay back in the
big rocking chair; the prayer-book
had slipped from the woman's cold
hands to the floor, and her spectacles
had fallen into her lap. The Oil had
burned out of the lamp and the room
was filled with the offensive odor of
the smouldering wick.
Mrs Johnson's husband was killed
in the Milwaukee railroad wards about
three years ago. A few weeks later
her daughter committed suicide by
hanging. Since lHeH the DeTedVeu
widow and mother had lived alone,
providing sustenance from the life in
surance which she spent frugally.
Neighbors saw her about the house
and yard yesterday, but this morn
ing there were no signs of life about
the place. The curtains remained
down and there was no smoke from
the chimney. There was no man in
the neighborhood and a woman tele-
phoned for the police. Patrolman F.
Clausen broke open the door and found
the body. The coroner was notified
and unless someone offers to care for
the body and bury it, it will be re-
moved to the morgue.

Country Life as a Brain Tonic.

country Lie as q Brain Tonic.
Half century ago Ralph Waldo EN-
erson, the great philosopher, talked to
At that date practically everybody
lived in the country, at least In sur
roundings which today would be called
rural by the denizens of cities. Mr..
Emerson's appeal was addressed e.
pecially to brain workers, or men of
sedentary life, but at this stage Of go
cial development there is meat in it
worth recalling for the average man
and woman. He said:
When Nero advertised for a new luxury,
walk in the woods should have been Of
fered. It's one of the secrets for lodging
old age. Nature kills egotism and con-
ceit. deals strictly with us and gives san
ity, so that 1t was the practice Of the
ortentals. especially of the Persians to let
insane persons wander at their own will
out Of the towns into the desert and, II
they liked. to associate with wild animals.
In their belief, wild beasts especially ga
xeiles collect around an insane person
and live with him on a friendly footing.
The patient found something curative in
that intercourse by which he was quieted
and sometimes restored. But there are
more insane persons than are called so or
are under treatment in hospitals. The
crowd in the cities, at the hotels, theaters,
card tables, the spectators who rush for
investment at 10 per cent. % per cent
cent per cent, are all more or 1ese mad:
these point the moral and persuade us to
seek in the fields the health of the mind.
Now and then a city bred person
sneers at the country and If stranded
spoiled by the acts Of man exclaims,
"Oh, would go mad if compelled to
i've in this out Of the way PLACED" Ac-
cording to Emerson's keen diagnosis
the mind SO STEPPED in the city habit is
already mad
