Complaint alleging insanity was to-
day filed in the Shawnee county pro-
bate court against John Briggs who.
according to complaint fi-sd against
him several weeks ago in the court of
Topeka. attempted to burn dwelling
house owned by b. F. Stephenson, 1416
North Monroe street. At the time of
the alleged attempt of arson Briggs
was shot by Stephenson and a part of
his head blown off. Briggs is now in
the hospital.
According to attending physicians
part of his brain was removed. c. C.
Lull, county physician, who has been
attending Briggs, stated this morning
that he has shown no sign of insanity
while under his care.
According to a story told county Of
fcials at the time of the shooting
Briggs claimed that Stephenson was
responsible for trouble which occurred
between the injured man and his wife.
Briggs made the attempt to burn down
Stephenson's house, 1t is claimed, and
the shooting resulted.
Should the insanity hearing, pleaded
for be granted. it will be impossible
to try Briggs on the charge of attempt
ing to burn the house unless he is ad-
judged sane. The insane complaint was
filed by relatives of the wounded man.

such as the Rockefeller foundations could
best take care OF the money by giving the
people education and lettering their

foundations menace On the con-

all mankind. The Rockefeller boards and

most admirable systems of benefiting

Things were no better in the kitch-

into everything. The range was red
