He had been roaming about in the woods and fields for two nights and a day, and was stiff with cold and sick with hunger; when run down by Ins captors. He had a delusion that his father wanted to kill him and was afraid of everybody he saw. He was brought to Rochester and an inquisition as to his sanity readily proved him a tit subject for the insane asylum and was turned over to the poor farm for safe keeping but later taken home to awa the arrival of the papers admitting him to the asylum.” As Noah Shoemaker was on his way to the B. & O. depot last Wednesday morning to take the 5:30 train for Chicago, he noticed that somebody was following close behind him for some distance and kept gaining on him, all the time acting in a suspicious manner. It was dark and lie was unable to size up the person. When near the old slat factory the fellow had caught up with Noah, and boldly placing ids hand on his shoulder said that he wanted to see him. Noah lost no time in talking with the fellow, but got away as quickly as possible and at the same time called.to Mr. Dauben- ; speck, who came out, and together they looked for the fellow, who had ran away. The stranger was no doubt a highwayman out for pelf.
