That Is Belief Concerning Youth in
Winooski

Winooski. July % Antoine Demarais,

Winooski by Chief of Police Barber,
charged with breach of the peace But
the charges may be more severe as the
boy, who is an epileptic, attempted to
take the life of his mother. While a

where tussle ensued for nearly an hour
before he conquered him. Mr.. Demarais
had warrant made out for the boys

to have him. sent to the state hospital
for the insane at Waterbury.
A few weeks ago it was thought he
meant to attempt to kill his mother,
he would get up out of bed at night
and come to her bedside. The young
man, his parents say, when but six or
seven years old, drank water out of a
brook in Milton. He told his mother
that he swallowed a leaf. Shortly aft
erward he began to complain to his
parents and they doctored him as best
they could until finally they consulted
a physician.
After removing to New Bedford, Mass,
he became worse and was removed to
the state hospital in Palmer, Mass,
where he threw up a lizard about seven
inches long, followed shortly afterward
by nine shorter ones. This seems to
have been the cause of the young mans
attacks, which are not exactly fits, as
he does not froth at the mouth, but stiff

beating at a terrific pace, His face be-
comes larger than normal size and his
body and arms twist. The young man is

here about two years ago. Shortly after
