The man is rational at times but is
subject to severe spells. Immediately
after scaling the hospital wall he
headed for the woods and kept under
cover during the day, travelling only
nights during the entire two weeks.
Neighbors recognized him moving
about in his former home, which had
been temporarily abandoned and mott

starvation. He was huddled in a
closet ON the second floor, and near
him were few crusts Of bread. The

At A! BAY; KILLS SELF
MANIAC. WHO WOUNDED FIVE
PERSONS AT SOUTH PLATTE,
COLO, SUICIDE AFTER CHASE.
HIT TWICE IN HOT PURSUIT
Wounded Mailman Was on Way to
Homo Of His Civil Wife, Whose
Life He Had Threatened, Because
She Had Deserted Him.

La Junta, Colo, Aug. George
Bauew, who, on Friday night, shot FIVE
persons and burned down q, hotel at
South Platte, committed suicide three
miles from here, He had been pur-
sued from Rocky Ford by sheriff
and his posse and took his life with
his last bullet, only after he had been
wounded twice and brought to bay
behind hay stack.
Ballew, on foot, started from Colo
RADIO Springs, where he had spent the
night, toward La Junta. Several miles
out he stole a horse and buggy from
George Governeau, a farmer. The
latter soon discovered his loss and
telephoned to La Junta.
Tries to Flag Freight Train.
Thinking that Ballew was merely
a horse thief, Deputy Sheriff Jack
Devine left here to intercept him. He
had passed the Village of Ormega
when he saw man ahead of him try
to flag passing freight train. But
the train did not stop and the man
dropped in the tall grass behind the
track Further down the track was
the horse and buggy that Ballew had
stolen.
In the meanwhile Ballew met Wes-
ley Wilson, a negro, driving buggy,
and forced him to turn the vehicle
over to him: Lashtng the horse, he
started driving at breakneck speed
toward La Junta.
Fugitive Struck by Bullet
AS he drove away. Wilson drew Z
revolver from his pocket and emptied
it at the fugitive, one bullet striking
him in the thigh.
May Have 6aved Wlfe's Life.
Then one shot was heard. When the
posse closed in they found him dead
with a bullet through his head. Two
revolvers lay beside him. None Of the
pursuers was injured.
It Is thought that Ballew tried to
flag the train in order to go to Las
Cruces, N. Mex, where his girl wife,
who recently deserted him, lives. He
had threatened her life, it is said.
