BREAKING UP OF HOME
CAUSED BY DRINK

"He would come home drunk ana
hide his money. Then when he got
thirsty again and wanted his money
he couldn't find 1t. He would accuse
me of stealing 1t, and often choked me
and made me get up and find II for
him."

Mary r. Curren. who, Friday. morn
ing, was granted a divorce by Judge
Murphy from her husband. James. an

happy were the results. Mrs. Curren

names. Once when she was seriously
i'll. she said, her husband discharged
the nurse she employed. saying the
woman was too old, and that he want

from all parts of the dominion express.
ing approval OF the proposed action
of Canada to assist Great Britain Ia
the form OF one or two battleships OF
the Dreadnaught type. The messages
urge that the assistance offered be
on a generous scale.
Two things have ccnspired to max.
the plan popular with the people OF
Canada. In the first place there has
been growing feeling throughout the
country since the South African war

INSANE, He KILLS
HIS COMPANION
PATIENT IN ASYLUM DEALS MAN
BLOW OVER HEAD WITH
LIMB OF TREE.

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich, March 81.
Alexander Ferguson, a patient Ia
the Northern Michigan Insane asylum.
yesterday afternoon struck Isaac Full
er, another patient, over the head with
limb of a tree. killing him instantly.
Both men had been close friends since
they came here six months ago, Fergu-
son from Charlevoix county. and Full
er from Oceana.
The two men, with IL others, had
been sent to the asylum orchard,
about half a mile from the buildings,
TO trim trees. George Newman, who
has been at the institution for years
and Is considered one of the best at.
tendants there, was in charge.
Newman did not see the assault,
but heard the crash OF the blow.
Rushing up to the men he found Full
er on the ground and Ferguson beat
ing him with an ice-covered limb
which he had dragged from the snow.
1t is the theory OF DR.. j. ID. Mum
son, the superintendent, that FergI'
son suddenly became possessed OF an
acute hallucination. and while suffer
ing from that. crept up behind his
friend and killed him.
Fuller. who was 40 years old, was
suffering from depression. or melan.
cholia, when he came to the asylum,
md Ferguson. who Is 3S years old.
from alcoholism. Both men were d.
vorced and neither had lived with his
wife for years. Ferguson had been a
hard drinker for some time before he
came to the asylum. but previous TO
the attack on Fuller had never mani
tested the slightest symptom OF vio-
lence.
