The peaceful quiet of Mill avenue
VISA somewhat disturbed on Saturday
evening, about 7:30, when someone on
the street raised the cry Of Help me,
Help me-" quite often, and upon in
vestigation a man, rather powerfully
built, fashionably and we'll dressed
was standing on the porch OF Mrs.
T.. p. Zepp, begging for help, and to be
let in the house, with crowd or our
citizens making a vain attempt to eth
err quiet him and persuad1ng MIN 10
return to the r. r.. station where ms
neice was waiting for him to board the
evening train for Frederick. From
there he started to run toward the
Grain and Supply Warehouse, then
back again, all the time begging,
please do not kill me, please do not
beat me-, then to the porch OF z. NJ.
Dutterer. where he fell off the porch
and was captured and carried 10 the
home OF ri. 3. Miller, where lie was
kent until a car came from Frederick
and took him home. He and his niece
had been visiting i'm York, and the
train crew had quite a time keeping
him OH the cars from Kump to fancy
town. When the train stopped here
he leaped off and although the train
was held for some minutes he would
not board the train. The man proved
to be Harry Stull, Of Frederick, and
was insane. He was taken to York on
a visit with the hope Of being bene-
fitted.
