Jetmore, Kans., March 12.--Es.
Gaping from an officer who had ar.
rested him pending an Investigation
into his sanity, Thomas Knopski, 8
middle-aged man, fed into the court
house, and, rapidly mounting to the
second floor, disappeared through a
small stairway, leading to the glass
dome Of the building.
Running over the curved dome Is
a small ladder and the astounded Of
ficer was just in time to see Knops-
Xxi climbing up this at top speed. The
officer found the maniac, one Of his
heavy shoes balanced in his hand,
awaiting his coming.
There was all amused grin on
Knopski's face, as If he were ex-
pecting to crush the skull OF his
pursuer and the officer. thinkir :
better OF his first intentions, rapidly
descended to safety on the roof. See
ing himself no longer pursued,
Knopski seated himself at the very
top of the dome.
By this time the officer had noti-
fled several persons and they start
ed, one at time, to ascend the lad
der. Seeing the enemy advancing
in such force, the maniac arose,
dropped his shoe, and then started
to climb up the fagpole which sur
mounts the dome. The slender rod,
high above the street, swayed with
the mans weight, and, apparently
frightened. he paused half way up.
None dared to mount after him.
Fearing the man might fall and
kill himself, the pursuers once more
retreated into the court house for a
consultation.
A former cowboy procured rope
and from the top of the roof at

again descended the fiagpole, and
was standing on a narrow ledge at,

up the ladder he promptly retreated
to the f1agpole. st
Then another scheme was map
ped out Once more Knopski, after
great effort, was decoyed several
feet down the ladder. Then, inside
of the cupola of the dome. two men
erawled up to the platform on q
level with the top Of the dome.
Originally it had been the plan to
have four clocks placed in the cupo-
la and the circular openings for the
faces were open.
Leaning. out one OF these open
ings, the former cowboy coiled his
lasso. Inside. his companion fast
ened the loose end to heavy rafter.
Then the one-time cowboy tossed
the loop of the lasso out and down.
1t fell over the shoulders OF the
maniac and was quickly jerked taut.
But he did not fall. Clutching
the ladder with one hand, he made
desperate efforts to loosen the coils
about his shoulders with the other.
But the men inside the cupola pull
ed and others on the roof at once
mounted the ladder and managed to
grab and tie Knopski's legs. He was
lowered to the roof as the men In
side the cupola paid out their rope.
Once securely pinioned, Knopski
gave up and his thrilling escapade
was over.
Knopski only recently came to
this part of the country. He will
probably be committed to an asylum
as a state charge
