Mr.. Root Will visit while in the ad-

he will be gone from Washington ~

give him ten 10 twelve days in Presi-

But IL is considered extremely doubt
full If Secretary Root viii care TO 20

SAYS FERGUSON
IS RAVING
Maniac
Oasis Makes Startling
Announcement About Super
intendent of Asylum Who
Was Struck By Crazy Man,

That DR.. Ferguson. superintendent
of the territorial insane asylum, has
gone violently insane and that he has
been taken to the east for treatment
by specialists is the startling inTOrma-
ton that is given out by the NOgales
Oasis, although in Phoenix nothing
has been said about Dr. FergUsOn,s
condition.
Dr.. Ferguson was a resident of ~
gales before going to Phoenix to &C
cept the SUPPLEMENTARY of the in
sane asylum and he was one of the
political leaders in Santa Cruz couD-
ty.
The Oasis says:
Thursday morning the friends of
DR.. Ray Ferguson of NOgales, super
intendent of the territorial insane
asylum at Phoenix, were shocked by
the information that upon the preced-
ing day he had become very suddenly
and very violently insane, as a re
suit of the injuries he received at the
hands of a lunatic a few weeks ago.
It will be recOllected that the doctor
was assaulted with an axe, his head
having been struck with the back of
the instrument. While seriously hurt
| his recovery was rapid, but the after
result was what was feared and the
worst anticipatiOns have been realized.
! He had been out of his bed and about
| several days, and was on the road to
complete recovery. Wednesday he
was seized with a desire to break fur
nitUre, and when Mrs. Ferguson re-
monstrated he attacked her. The lady
| fed the room and called assistance.
| When those called arrived they found
| the doctor in a pGroxyism of violence
He was overpoweFed, but TO prevent
further violence they had to manacle
him. The same evening, in the care
OF attendants and heavily ironed he
was started for the east to receive
there the attention of specialists.
Or. Ferguson's many friends have
had cast over them a deep and last
| ing gloom, and they feel direst fore
bodings for the final result, yet they
hope the attention OF the specialists
to whom he is taken will result In
beneficial results
