sixty five year old woman who tried
to kill her forty year old son, has been
taken to Rochester from Leon town

She was committed to the institution
by the probate court at Redwing...
Apparently crazed by religious fer

that her son was in the clutches of
evil spirits and that to. save him for
God she was going to kill him.. She
entered room in their home about
one o'clock in the morning, where the
son was staying, and with an axe in
flicted an ugly. but not serious wound
in his scalp. Officials of the town
ship reported the trouble to. Sheriff
Anderson, and the poor woman was
brought to Redwing for examination
as to her sanity.
An unusual feature of this family is
that both the mother and the SON at
tempted to take their own lives some
time ago by eating paris green. They
were frustrated by quick action of
neighbors.
