 Nsighborhood.

A man by the name Of Jones. a 1 comparative stranger in the city. suf- 1 fering of typhoid fever. and delirious. l imagining he had been 'doped' and was in confinement. jumped through n i window of his apartment on North i Second street yesterday morning be ] tween . and 6 o'clock and ran wild for 1 . time in Churchill addition. until he was found by officers Sullivan and l Troutman and restored to his care , takers. During the period of his lib- | erty he either startled or terrified 1 q hal. dozen families. though he made no move to harm anybody. When he escaped he was practically ! naked but in the course of his prom ! enade he secured a pair of overalls
 and finally a blanket was procured to wrap him in when he was taken in hand by the officers.
 Telling the story in orderly SC quence he was on Saturday placed under the care of a professional nurse on Second street. He had been suffering some time of a low fever that had been diagnosed as typhoid. and only for that physical
 
 city some days before in accordance with plans to return east. He was
 not an invalid. however. and only for
 this illness would he strong and
 hearty man. His delirium developed rather suddenly yesterday morning and before the nurse could interpose any objection he jumped out of bed
 and through the window, taking sash.
 glass and all with him. though so far as is learned he was not injured by that exploit. The nurse ran into
 the yard to apprehend him and he
 grappled with her. IL is said that in
 her efforts to return him to the room
 he bit her finger and she instinctively
 loosening her hold he made his es-
 cape from her. She notified the
 police at once by telephone and q search was made for him but he
 could not be located just then.
 The next news of him is reported by J M. Fike, who lives at the corner
 Of First and Pearce streets. though from reports it is evident that he had disturbed various families before
 he got that far MT and Mrs Fike
 were aroused by woman's voice
 calling as though in fear or distress and it was probably some Of the neighbors in that vicinity. Mir Fike went to the back door which seemed . in the general direction of the sounds
 and peering out he saw naked man
 entering shed or barn on the back end of an adjoining property. He thought at first it was some neighhor going in for q bath and did not ap- prrciate that he was the cause of the l commotion. A few moments later he heard an excited colloquy next door al the home of D. Crabb It trans pired that Mir. Jones found a pair
 of overalls in the shed and seeking to depart found he had been imprisoned by a latch that locked automatically when the door closed behind him Tearing the screen door so he could
 reach the latch he let himself out and invaded the home of Mir. Crabb en- tering unbidden the sleeping apart ment of Mir. and Mrs. Alfred. the father and mother of Mrs Crabb
 What demands he made there MT
 Fike does not know. but heard the,n tell him he would have to go some where else and d minute later he ap- peared before Mir Fike. who stood gh'h ii7 tippi uStu the excited man admittance, asking
 him what was the matter He said he
 had been ."doped" and wanted Mir
 Fike to telephone the sheriff to come and get him.
 MT Fikc told him he had no telc-
 phone and he would have to go
 somewhere else. but just as soon as
 the man left Mir. Fike dressed and
 went to the Central Avenue hotel.
 where he telephoned the police. Ed
 Holland. who lives in the same part of town, however. had also been list
 ed among those disturbed and had
 beaten MT. Fike to the telephone
 The police though. were already in search of MT. Jones and with these
 incoming messages were soon able to
 locate him and take him back to his
 room.
