THE COURT NEWS Mrs. Jacob Railing, Insane, Becomes Violent —ls Confined. PENDING ADMISSION To Easthaven—Has Been Insane Several Months— Court News. COURT Deputy Sheriff L, D. Jacobs took Mrs. Jacob Railing into custody last night and placed her in the insane ward of the county jail, until she can be taken to Easthaven insane asylum. Mrs. Railing was declared insane last November 17, but no word has been received from Easthaven relative to her admission there, and it is probable that there was no room for her there since application was made. After the elapsing of six months, it is necessary to again have the affidavit of a physician as to her condition, and this was made by Dr. P. B. Thomas, who stated that she is a fit subject for such hospital. It is said tliat she has threatened to kill Mr. Railing and burn the house down, and that her being at large, is dangerous, hence the confinement. Her delusions are that she is under custody of the devil, who takes both visible and Invisible forms, at times; she is negligent of her household duties, stating that such are fit for the devil, and she is careless and negligent, whereas before her misfortune, she was just the reverse. A year or two ago she suffered a severe fall in which both arms were broken and she was disabled for a long time. Real estate transfers: Adolph Ensley et al to Mary E.

> “THE STRUGGLE.’’ ‘ The Struggle,” which is coming to the Crystal theater tonight, as the next release on the Equitable program. is one of those heart-gripping photadramas which are often read about but seldom seen. The story deals with the intense emotions experienced by a big, stalwart officer in the army, who sees the girl he loves wooed and won by a scapegrace junior. The junior, in the face of peril, proves a poltroon, but after a series of exciting adventures turns up as an active helper among the lepers of the Philippines. Being - dragged back to civilization and his wife by his selfsacrificing senior officer, he discovers that he has contracted leprosy, and the marks appear on his arm. This drives him. to suicide, and the road to happiness tor the hero and the girl whom he has always loved and who is now a widow.' is made plain. There are thrills in plenty, and a number of extremely tense situations but they all lead up to the logical climax, and the end is as ft should be. The photography is excellent, the direction of John Ince fully up to his high reputation, and the whole production a shade beyond even the high standard set by the Equitable. Five and ten cents; five reels. — — O—•— CHAUTAUQUA THE BEST EVER. Attorney D. B. Erwin, who has i
