Placed in Padded CELIA young
man named Long, apparently about 25
years of age, was removed from the
Southwest Limited Rock Island train
at 2:30 o'clock yesterday morning and
turned over to the Davenport police.
The man was clearly deranged in mind
and wanted to kill himself When
searched at the station $3.50 was found
on the mans person and a ticket to
Niagara Falls. DR.. E. o. Ficke was
summoned and the man was removed
to the padded cell at the county Jail
Later he was taken to st. Johns hos
pital. Longs home is at Clarence,
Mo-, not far from st. Louis. He comes
from well connected family. A
brother was communicated with, and
he arrived in Davenport last night.
Head Caught in Cana peculiar &C
cident occurred at the home of Charles
H. Peters, 2O23 Washington street
Monday. His young son. Arthur, was
engaged in the pleasing occupation Of
eating the "leavings" in a can of Jon

his head inside the can. He then was
up against the predicament that Otter
faces the members of the feline tribe
that is, to get it out again. AS il
hardly seemed a matter for a physi
clan to handle, a tinsmith was sum
moned. Emil Render, 1440 Liberty
street, was called upon to perform the
operation. Except for a temporary
faintness, due to his confinement, the
lad was unhurt.
