Juliaetta-If ever fruitmen had a

Several large commercial orchards

effort to combat the pest and even

of the house. but he refused to go
away, and for eight weeks lived in a

wife offered to pay the rent of house
for him if he would leave her
Brown denied all his wifes allega-
lions, but said that since she came
into the money she had tried to get rid
of him. She locked me out of the
house, so l took up residence in the
she'd" he said. Il lived there for eight
weeks, despite her efforts to move
me. She packed all my belongings,
and sent them out of town.
she then sent me a note down the
garden, saying: All your things have
gone. Please follow them
After the eight weeks l was de
coyed into the house by the promise
of Il wash and clean shirt. While
was having the wash my wife locked
me in the kitchen and she then went
out and chopped the shed up with an
AK. Being in the house, | did not wish
to leave, but to get me outside, my
wife conferred with medical man and
a relieving officer to try to have me
removed to the asylum. A telegram
purporting to come from my brother,
inviting me out of town, was also
tried.
"A policeman was called in to eject
me, but he declined to do So"

burg hospital, for the second time
within three weeks had a desperate
struggle with mailman she was ta-
king to the institution. The maniac
tried to choke her, and probably would
have succeeded had not Policeman
Selvey and Hugh Gromley, the driver
or the ambulance, assisted DR.. Craw-
ford. Her coat was torn and her face
scratched, but she took the patient to
the hospital.
Shortly after 1 p. m. Brooklyn police
headquarters summoned DR.. Craw-
ford and her ambulance to the drug
store at Bedford avenue and North
Eighth street. There DR.. Crawford
found two policemen and three other
men holding Michael Ford, a mechan-
&c, 30 years old. Ford had been seen
to throw himself before a crosstown
car, which was stopped before the
wheels could run over him. Several
men tried to learn from Ford where he
lived. Ford attacked them savagely
and threw himself in front of another
car. He was again saved by the
prompt stopping of the car
Policeman Selvey seized Ford, who
knocked him down. Selvey again
tackled the mailman, who in fierce
struggle tore Selvey's rubber coat and
uniform. The maniac attacked men,
women and children and caused wild
excitement. Selvey was no match for
the man, and when another policeman
and three citizens went to his aid they
had all they could do to get the mad
man down.
DR.. Crawford gave the maniac a by.

The able-bodied men of the village
were at work, the children were at
school singing the multiplication table
lullaby, while the wives and mothers
at home nursed the baby with one
hand and did the Homework with the
other. At the end of the village an
old man past work sat at rough deal
table under the creaking signboard of
the Cauliflower, gratefully drinking
from a mug of ale supplied by a
chance traveller who sat opposite him.

accuracy Of smoker of so years
standing, and shook his head solemn
ly as he regarded his altered birth
place. Then his color heightened and
his dim eye flashed.

prised at first but she didn't think
much of it, and thought, what hap
pened to be true, that e was busy in
the garden, it being light night. She
turned over and went to sleep again,
and at five when she woke up she
could distinctly ear Bill working is

"Bill stood up straight and wiped
is face with his shirt sleeve and
started digging again, and then his
wife just put something on and rushed
downstairs as fast as she could go.

half crying.

of mould at her, and then went on
digging till Henery Walker, who also
thought e 'ad gone mad, and didn't
