feature is very much in evidence
namely, the larger number of young

ed revolver in his hand, Anton Ro.
naldo terrorized the inmates of Muir
rays hospital last night, by his wild
actions and threats to shoot the first
person he saw. Everyone within reach
of the crazed man rushed to their
rooms and watched his antics through
the cracks Of closed doors.
DR.. Campbell realizing that the man
was crazy, called up the sheriffs of
fce and Deputy Tom Mulcahy was
sent to the hospital Immediately. In
the meantime the physician argued
with Ronaldo, pretending to be fight
ing off the people, who the insane man
thought were following him.
Mulcahy was strong on strategy and
finally convinced the man that he
would be safest in the county JAIL
where he was taken. Ronaldo is a
miner and it is believed that his mind
is temporarily deranged by alcohol.

cropped into was saloon. The bar
tender said that tho town was rough
and the best thing Burke could do was
TO leave his money with him This
Pat did and he turned over a roll OF

was the last he could remember until

ne is a veteran Of the Crimean war

predicament were unique as well as

his case reported to Chief of Police
