PITIFUL CONDITION John Kull is Alleged to be Dangerously Insane— Makes Threats STRANGE DELUSIONS He Threatened the Life of C. S. Niblick Yesterday —Other Hallucinations John Kull, a German hailing from the vicinity of Salem, a famijiar character about the streets of the city, is, it is alleged, dangerously insane, and the officers propose to cause his confinement until a satisfactory disposition can be made of his case. On several occasions Kull has threatened violence to Decatur people, -his latest prank being in the Adams Countybank yesterday. Fcr several months the demented man has had the hallucination that he had deposited in the Adams County bank $40,000. He has called at the institution several times demanding the money yesterday. It was after he made such a demand of Charles Niblick yesterday that he threatened to kill him if the money was not forthcoming. He also created excitement in a down town saloon last evening by his threats. Among the many delusions Kull has experienced is to the effect that he gave a Decatur girl a watch one year ago and in return she promised to become his wife. Mr. Kull was a few- years ago an industrious and ordinarily intelligent man. Pursuing the vocation as a contractor he was quite successful and regarded as an honorable citizen. Beginning about two years ago. however, he visited Decatur often, soaking himself with booze cn every visit and would remain until he was penniless. A little later he < ame hereto stay and has led the life of a vagabond since. His is a pitiful condition and demands immediate action at the hands cf the authorities.

ARE IN PROGRESS: i Evangelistic Services Began . at Christian Church Last Night * AN ABLE SPEAKER Is Rev. Crabb, Who With His Wife Have Charge —lnteresting Address The evangelistic services at the Christian church opened up with a fair attendance and earnest attention. The speaker thinks it well when starting a series of meetings to begin at the beginning. He said: As the Bible contains God’s message to the people of His creaticn it is our duty to study and understand it. He then rapidly outlined the divisions of the Bible, the meaning of the titles of the different books of the Old Testament, and the purpose of each book, then coming on to the New Testament he showed that the first four books each contains a biography of Jesus Christ Matthew -wrote to con- j vince the Jews that Jesus was the promised Messiah. Mark to convince the Romans of Christ’s divinity ano so on. Then, the book of Acts is the book of conversations, and shows what the sinner must do to be saved from his past sins, while the following twen-ty-one epistle or letters are written to Christians to show them how to live Christian lives and finally the Book of Revelations points the Christian to his heavenly home and the unpenitent sinner to his final doom. He gave a rule for reading the Scriptures or indeed any book, if one wishes to understand it. First, notice who is writing; secondly, to whom is he writing or speaking; thirdly, what is the purpose of the message; fourthly, under what dispensation is it written. He urged every one to give earnest attention to the study of the scriptures. He believes we should read (the dally newspaper, but not to the

exclusion of the Word of Gcd. Mrs. Crabb has a strong, sweet voice. She is a good leader, and sang a beautiful solo entitled “The P.jble.” A|s the evangelist stated “We are not here to have a good time, but for earnest work in the Master’s service.” A very cordial invitation is extended to all to attend and assist in these services.
