still there is not enough room for all

ideal this year and as result some
wonderful exhibits are to be seen. The

miles west Of the city.
Local physicians, in puzzling over the
case, declare that there is no similar
case on record where husband and wife
were affected with the same hallucina-
ton. namely that their neighbors were
trying to poison them.
They were regarded as queer by
residents Of the section wherein their
farm is located, but they were toler-
ated until their insanity took violent
trend. A youth named Rudd. while
walking past their farm was invited
into their house, and after he had COM
piled with their request and seated
himself ina chair in a corner Of the
room, tho couple armed themselves with
butcher knives and advanced toward
the lad. BY quick work. he escaped
from the room, but the shock OF the
his bed at his home.
After an investigation by the COM
mission on the insane in this city,
wherein it developed that the couple
were observed with the belief that they
were the victims of a uge~conspiracy
to kill them by means of poison gas,
the couple were removed to the hos
pital for the insane.
