INSANE PATIENT FIGHTS
WITH HOSPITAL ATTENDANTS
His Suddenly Acquired Strength Made
1t Necessary for Several Men
to Subdle Him.

"
to Subdue Him.
With suddenly acquired almost
superhuman strength an insane pa
tient struggled with all Of the ferocity
of wild animal in an effort to gain his
freedom yesterday afternoon in the
Detention Hospital at the City Hall.
The man Is David Curry. He made
an attack on Steward Mannville, who
was escorting him to the detention
ward. The maniac was strangling the
attendant when Edward III. Riis, a re-
porter, came to his assistance. Riis
dragged the madman from the stew
ard and the lunatic turned upon him.
A rough and tumble fight followed.
Fiis suddenly received a stunning
blow in the face which staggered him.
Assistance came in the persons Of
Steward Devere, Ambulance Driver
Fix, Chief Steward Charles Beecher
and Chief Matron Mrs. Floyd Cannon.
The tussle was further enlivened by
the arrival of two policemen. Curry
was conquered and strapped to a bed,
not, however, until he had left marks
upon those who tried to subdue him.
Chief Matron Cannon received blow
on the left wrist which will cause her
to carry her arm In a sling for a few
weeks, while Riis is nursing con-
fused and lacerated lip. All Of the
others have cuts, bruises and contu-
sions.
When the unfortunate man came to
his senses shortly after the struggle
he regretted what he had done and
gave an account of himself in clear
and intelligent way. He said he is
a native of British Columbia and had
been in Arizona, where he was con-
fined in a lunatic asylum but was dis
charged as cured. Last Sunday, while
at work in San Mateo, he felt his in
sane spell returning and at once has
tened to this city, where he told his
story to DR.. Carl G. Wilson at the
Emergency Hospital.

4 few days ago one of Secretary

transmitted to Major Adolphus Won
Haake. the topographer Of the Postof-
flee Department. Major Won Haake
looked up the regulations governing his
shop, and replied, Money first, please. =
Thereupon Chief Clerk ~ o. Chance.
Of the department, ordered Discussing
Clerk r. b. Merchant TO pay the re-
CURED sum of money TO Major Vnn
Haake. and charge it up to the Interior
department. Mr.. Merchant looked tIr,
the regulations that govern his Office
and said:
I can't pay out the money until I get
the maps
There the matter rests. and the legal
sharps of the Postoffice Department are
nard at work trying TO straighten ont
the tangle.
