FORMER CIRCUS GIRL
SENT TO THE ASYLUM
The Unfortunate Career of Grace
Snyder.

Grace Snyder was committed to the
insane asylum yesterday afternoon.
That was not the first time she had
been brought within range of the local
courts. A few months ago she was
arrested by the police one night on a
charge OF disturbance of the peace and
on the following day it was learned
that she was a sufferer from the NOR
phine habit. She said that she mad
been a circus rider and she told a story
of misfortune covering a period of a
half Dozen years. She said that her
father was living at Tucson.
Soon after that she dropped out OF
sight and nothing more was heard of
her by the authorities until yesterday
morning. Robert Davis. living on
Grand avenue, swore out a warrant
for her arrest on the ground of in
sanity. Davis said that she and an old
man lived near him and that she had
come to his house at O'Clock in the
morning raving. She was arrested and
given hearing in the afternoon.
There is some doubt regarding the
relation between her and the old man
with whom she has been living. She
says he is the father Of whom she has
been talking. The old man says that
she is his common Jaw wife. He is
about so years of age and paralyzed
The woman is 80 years of age.
She related the story of her life
yesterday. She said that at the age
of II she and another girl of about
the same age ran away from home
and Joined a circus. They were taught
riding and were put under the charge
of an elderly woman, who looked after
their moral welfare. She remained in
the circus business until five years
ago, when she was with the Ringlings
one of her performances was the rid
ing of stallion. One day as she was
riding him standing. small child es-
capped from the benches and, running
into the ring. threw a handful of dirt
at the animal. striking him in the
flank. He reared and fell backward
upon her The injuries she sustained
put her out of the circus ring forever
and il was in the course of the treat
ment of her wounds that she acquired
the morphine habit. Ii was a curious
fact that the same horse soon after
killed her husband.

WELCOME WORDS TO WOMEN

Women who suffer with disorders peculiar to their
sex should write to Dr. Pierce and receive free the
edvice of physician of over 40 years experience
"a skilled and successful specialist in the diseases
of women. Every letter of this has the most
careful consideration and is regarded sacredly
confidential. Many sensitively modest women write
fully to DIR. Pierce what they would shrink from
telling to their local physician. The local physician
is pretty sure TO say that he cannot do anything
without ''an examination. DIR. Pierce holds that
these distasteful examinations generally need

There is peculiar possibility in con-
nection with the Friel murder case at
Amity. Jack Friel was shot and fatally
wounded, and his nephew, Charles Friel,
Is held charged with murder, and Ellis
Black as accessory. When shot Jack
Friel was standing just outside house
which is close to the line between Maine
and New Brunswick, one of the monu-
ments which mark the line being only a
few feet from the house. 1t is possible
that the man who fired the fatal shot
stood on the New Brunswick side of the
line at the time. II so he may be an
swerable to Canadian law rather than
Maine law, and in Canada murder is
punishable by death.
