STRANGER / N. & INSANE l(!
breaches SERMON
F. G. Snyder Gets lin bad"
at Jewell Sunday With
Stranger.

Jewell Record: The next time any
body offers to accompany f. G. Snyde
to church, Mr.. Snyder is mighty apt t
require him first to present satisfactor,
credentials as to his sanity; and it's
cinch that Rev. G. A. Mckinley here
latter isn't going to be deluded int
thinking that being with Frank Snyder
amounts to a whole lot as testimonial
fof reliability, sanity, or anything else
He has had one experience, in fact sc
has Mr.. Snyder.
Il Last Sunday night Mr.. Snyder was
;passing the hotel enroute to attend
Iservices at the Federated church and
ihailed somebody who was standing in
llfront of the hotel, inviting him to ga
ialong. 1t happened that the man whom
FSnyder invited was unable to go, but
IIanOther man, stranger to Mr.. Snyder,
dumped up and offered to go, and of
course was welcomed by Mr.. Snyder.
The stranger seemed to enjoy Rev. Nc
Kinley's sermon for time, but evident
lily he finally began to think that he
could improve upon 1t and so got up,
walked deliberately to the pulpit. in
|terrupted the pastor in the middle Of
one OF his most eloquent periods, and
requested permission to say n few
words. Rev. Mckinley was decidedly
knocked flat. He didn't care to start
any particular excitement and he mis-
takably supposed that friend of
Frank Snyder surely was o. X. so al
though it was a rather unusual pro-
cedure, Rev. Mckinley kindly yielded
the floor.
What followed was good. The fell
low offered a wonderful discourse,
touching on little Of everything, all
the way from the weather to politics.
and it didn't take much Of his talk to
tip everybody off as to the poor mans
mental condition. Only few hours
later the fellow was bound for Web
ster City In charge Of constable II, G.
Peterson. ard the next day was taken
before the county commission on in
sanity. He told them that he had been
working lately at the hotel in Jewell
as dish washer. which was true
also stated that Frank Kirk is his
father and had raised him-which Mr..
Kirk very vehemently says is not true.
He said his name is George Wilson
and that he is a relative of former
President Wilson, but investigation re-
vealed the fact that his true name is
J. I. Seney and that he was an inmate
of the insane hospital at Clarinda, es
Gaping from that institution last spring.
on Easter Sunday. An official from
l.. p. Hines. arrived at Web |
ster City Monday and took the man
back to that hospital.
