Albion Guardsman Grows Insane and Escapes, but is Recaptured. Peru, Ind., July 24. —Joseph Hile, of Company A, Third Regiment, Indiana national guard, while being taken to his home at .fflbion, Ind., from Indianapolis, today created intense excitement on an Indiana Union Traction car two miles south of Peru. He had been sick since Saturday and was being taken home by two guardsmen*..Near the substation south of here Hile became a raving maniac and disrobed, after which he ran to the rear of the car and leaped out of the window, holding to the trolley pole rope until the car had almost stopped, when he let go. The guardsmen pursued him down the track and finally overpowered him. He was again placed on the car and brought to Pern, where it required the guardsmen and two policemen to take the man in custody, where he is at present.
