DESERT LONLINESS
 DROVE HER INSANE
Pathetic Case of Mrs. Mary Ke- rekeS Brought to Attention
 Of MariCOpa Sheriff

PHOENIX, July 2 - Does living alone on a desert homestead conduce to insanity?
 This is the question that is agitat- ing the minds of the sherims of Mali- cOpa and Cochise counties.
 Sheriff Adams this morning sent of- ficers to bring Mary Kerekes to the county jail she being violently insane She is a young Hungarian woman who has been living with her husband on a homestead claim in the south western part Of the valley, far from all neighbors. and having a hard time to make both ends meet It is said that the isolation and dreadful lonli. ness caused her mind to give way. She was exceedingly violent when brought before the court this morning and her commitment to the asylum followed as a matter of course.
 Speaking of the case. Sherin Adams said. This is but one of several sim. liar cases we have had this yea-. These people have been living on a poor homestead with no neighbOrs aud have been working hard Go make a home out of the desert It is lonliness and nothing else. ] am told that the same condition exists to much great CT extent in Cochise county. where trere are numerous cases of home steaders who have settled on patches miles and miles away from their near. est neighbors. lt is a pitiful cond,- tion and seems to me to be a strong argument in favor of colony serue- ments. These people have been used to the company of friends and neigh. bors all their lives and simply caunot stand the strain of the desert lonH ness"

 l.. R. Bailey, naturally and by iucli- nation is a good natured man. His reputation for good naturedness has even got him into trouble several times Yesterday. however, some thing was amiss One look at the postmaster convinced the most casua! of observers that the official was mad. Further all of the employees of tho post office appeared Go be mad. The young ladies, on the windows. were moi only made, but with @ woman's pre- rogative, threatened to cry-they were So mad And all because some ship. per in Phoenix had seen fit to ship forty-two sacks of onions by parcel post and the parcels were stored in the rear end of the postonice
 A man entered the office yesterday noon. He is noted for his equanimity and when he opened his box and look ed for his usual first of the month mail his nose took on a semblance of social ostracism He might have been sneering at some of the nouveau riche and was expressing himself by word of nose.
 What in the world is wrong? he demanded of himself. Someone has been putting onions in my box. or has been eating onions very close to it."
 Now according to an the informa- tion obtainable on this subject. the postoftice girls do not eat onions IT they do its after working hours Amy way, they don't like to be accused of eating the delicious Bermudas and when the solid and substantial busi- ness man inferred something of that kind might be the cause for the eN- cess Of the odoE one of the attendants. volunteered to show the doubtiug one what the trouble was He saw forty two sacks Of onions.
 To make matters worse the party to whom the onions were consigned. refused the shipment That left them for further storage in the postoHica No one liked that Even the engineer and the fireman on the switch engine. working on the tracks behind the post office. interJected their protest, Go say nothing of printers devils and report CTS.
 At any rate. the postmaster moved fast. He is the postmaster but OF this occasion made of himself a first class salesman, and after much man. euyering managed to sell the onions to a local firm
 "I like onions said Bailey yester day, but l am a very temperate man. and anyhow too much of a good thing goes a long way on general principles
