Sioux City, Sept. 12.-George L.
Hunt, knight of the flying roll" has
made his escape from the state hos
pital for the insane at Cherokee. and
is believed to be hiding in Chicago,
where he has relatives.
Money sent to the former Sioux City
knowledge Of the asylum authorities
enabled him to get away from the in

portunity. he slipped out of the hospi-
tai after breakfast one morning. The
several hundred inmates were just on
their way from the dining room to
the various wards, and he was not
missed until some hours afterward.
No direct trace of his whereabouts has
been received
For some months Hunt has been a
"trusty.' Shorn of the luxuriant head
of hair which in his belief made him
resemble the Christ, he quieted down
and became a docile, useful member
of the hospital community. During
this last summer he has been kept at
work in the garden, privilege ac-
corded to only the most trustworthy
patients.
1t is declared that his health is
much better than when he was taken
to the hospital couple of years ago,
and that there is a probability that he
will fully regain his normal mental
condition. The hospital authorities
are not expected to make very thor
ough search for him, contented that at
least he is harmless.
The unfortunate young man was
reared in Sioux City, and spent most
of his life here, working for various
newspapers, principally the Stylus. A
mania of religious fervor took posses
sion Of him. He affected peculiarities
of dress and let his hair grow over his
shoulders. His fanaticism eliminated
in spectacular appearance upon the
principal street corners of Sioux City,
where he cried Woe to Sioux City!"
and urged people to repent of their
sins. He finally became so violent that
the police were obliged to take him in
to custody.

Jefferson, Sept. 12.-It has been au-
thentically stated thar the new pro-
posed electric line to be built between
Rockwell City and Fort Dodge the
coming year will in time extend its
branch running parallel with the Mil
waukee railroad thru Lohrville and
into jefferson. Altho there has been
no promise made as to- just when this
line will be built, General Manager ].
l.. Blake stated that they were now
planning on Jefferson as place where
a sub-station and power house would
be located and that within the course
of time Jefferson would be connected
to the capital city with an electric line
via Fort Dodge Mr.. Blake stated that
the new proposed road when finished
would be the longest by far Of any
interurban in Iowa, and that over
100 900 people would be benefited on
account of the direct passage into Des
Moines. A service is now going on
between Des Moines and Kelley
with car every thirty min
utes, and also between Des
Moines and Ames. The road will soon
be finished into Fort Dodge, and 1t is
expected that work will be started as
soon as spring opens up next year on
the line to Rockwell. Altho this will
give Jefferson rather an indirect route
into Des Moines, it is stated that the
fare will be cheaper than by the regu-
lar way, and that the time in going
will be diminished in accordance with
the condition of the track, and that as
soon as fast car can be run with
safety. it is believed that passengers,
can leave Jefferson and get to Des
Moines quicker than by the railroad.
1t has been the hope of the ConE
mercial club of this place to get the
Perry interurban to connect with JEFF
ferson, and it was stated at one time
that this would be brought about. But
later it was denied, and in corre-
spondence with the head officials 1T
was stated that Jefferson was not be-
ing discussed definitely as possible
point where the line would be ended.
