Phoenix Man Driven Insane

Driven insane by pain, A. l.. Richard son, an employe of the city street de partment, was picked up while wander ing about the streets this morning by Policeman Leo Troutnan. Richardson was hardly able to stand and his ail ment was diagnosed by City Health Officer Beauchamp as paresis, probably complicated with abscess of the brain or tubercular meningitis. When Trout man took him in charge he was almost exhausted and in few minutes would have fallen. A doctor was called and ordered Richardson taken to his home. He found him threatened with paraly- sis of the left side and his mind wander ing strangely. While Troutman was taking the sick man to the city hall Richardson said that the people living in his neighbofhood had taken dis like to him and were trying to kill him.

One of the first instances on rccor of body returned by Swiss glacier is that of the Hamcl accident. which took place in 1920 Several guides were swept down by an avalanche and hurled into q crevasse. Hamol prophe- sled that the glacier would yield them up again in the course of a thousand years, but Dr. Forbes believed that the end of the glacier would be reach. ed by the bodies in forty years. This statement was considered bold. but Its accuraty was borne out by the event, In forty years the flow of ice brought the bodies to light.
 In 1866 Henry Arkwright was lost In glacier. In just thirty-one years his brother received telegram from the mayor of Chamouni that the body was found Every article of clothing was intact. His name and regiment could be read clearly on his handker- chief, and his gold pencil case opened and shut as easily as when he last used it three decades before. -'True Tales of Mountain Adventure"
