Jasper County Democrat, Volume 12, Number 10, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 May 1909 — JIM ANDERSON RUNS AMUCK. [ARTICLE]

JIM ANDERSON RUNS AMUCK.

Jim Anderson, one of the employes on the county stone crusher, had £ mild case of d. t's., Saturday evening and run amuck, driving all the north siders into their holes, and it was not until the sheriff' called in the aid of five husky deputies that he could be successfully handcuffed and taken to jail. The trouble started in the Tom Grant grocery, when Anderson' struck his wife, and some specta-' tors took it up and forcibly ejected him from the store. He walked across the street to Babcock & Hopkins’ elevator and attacked Elza| Grow and Bert Hopkins. Both of them knocked him down and Emerald Aldrich sat on him until County Supt. Lamson could bring the sheriff. Jim fought and kicked the officers for about ten minutes, but finally succumbed to a real bear hug from Sheriff Shirer. He was taken to jail and kept until he sobered up„ and was released Sunday on a promise of good behavior.
