wandering about in the woods, ap-
%parently unconscious of their
actions. During the past month
Deighboro observed that they act
ed rather strange but no one paid
any special attention to them.
During the night of Monday of
last week they became convinc-
ed that some demon or demons
lei after them and that their en-
tire farm vas on fire. They there
fore soaked several large blankets
thoroughly with water and fled
to the timber where they wander
ed about several days. They visit
ed several of the homes of their
neighbors, but would remain but a
short time. Most of their time
was spent in a wild rabble suppli-
cation to be delivered from evil
wild spirits. The illusion of their
farm burning seemed to cling to
them, as they frequently waded in
to water and soaked their clothes
to keep them from burning.
On Friday they were brought
here by sheriff Dyer ana several
deputies, and adjudged insane by
a jury in Judge POSSES court.
They were taken to Fulton Satur-
day.
Neighbors state that the family
was very quiet and industrious, and
and in most particulars seemed
equal to the average citizen. For
some time, however, they have
been studying witchcraft and be-
lievei in witches very strongly.
During the past few weeks they
conceived the idea that neighbors
possessed the wonderful power,
and exerted an evil influence on
their stock, crops, feed and every
thing about the place. That this
contributed to their insanity is
believed, though the fact that all
lost their minds at the same time
is rather peculiar. There is nopne
left to look after the property, ana
the court appointed a guardian to
take charge OF same. One broth
or, William, a former, jeweler, here,
is located in Arkansas. The case
is a very pitiable one.-Warrenton
