NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS F , W , Voiwinkle , a Well Known Inimrar.03 Man , Becomes Insane. MIND HAS BEEN FAILING FOR YEARS Not Until Yriterdiiy , However , Hill Ills Symptoms llecmno Aliirinlnc Condi tion Attrlbutml to an Accident lie Met with bevcrnl Years Ago. F. W. Voswlnkle , a well known Insurance man nf this city , became a raving maniac yesterday. For years his health has been steadily declining , and It was apparent to bis Intimate friends that his mind was af fected. Several years ago he was driving near Fulrbury , Neb. , when he became the victim ot a runaway accident. Being thrown from his buggy , he struck the top of his head on the ground so hard that an Inden tation was formed In his skull which , It Is believed , Is responsible for his mental ail ment. Some time ago ho went to Salt Lake City In the h ? > pe of being benefited , and the ex pectation of his friends was that Instead of coming hero he would go to Wisconsin to visit his father. Thursday night he sud denly appeared at his homo on Fourth street and stayed there over night. Yesterday mornIng - Ing his wife left him In his bedroom , but finding ho did not come down , after some time , went back and found him sitting with a razor In his hand. He had slmved off his oustache and all the hair on his head. As n explanation for his queer action he said e had been baptized Into the Mormon church n the tabernacle at Salt Lake City , and had ecotrje a Mormon bishop. He said he had. come back with a tnUslon , hlch was , to take all the people of Council luffs back to Salt Lake City with him. He ad decided to hold a mass meeting In Bay- its park and deliver an oration from an 1m- rovlsed platform. His talk and acting were o strange that a plan was concocted to get Im before the commissioners of Insanity , urlng his visit to the court house he hade o bo handled very carefully , for he seemed o be on the point of becoming violent. After n examination It was decided that he should 0 taken to Clurlnda for treatment. Improperly compounded baking powders are iOt uniform In strength.

Harrison Latham's father did not succeed n getting signatures to a bond to Insure the oung man's staying away from Council Bluffs and letting Mrs. Clara Wyman alone , nil the trial of the criminal case against Im was commenced In Justice Cook's court esterday. Latham himself went upon the ( and and testified that on one occasion he tayed at Mrs. Wyman's house from 10 ( 'clock Wdnesday night until after 3 'clock the next Friday morning , occupying ilrs. Wyman's couch. ThU testimony was orroborated by Latham's father. Mrs. Wy man , however , upon the stand , denied that hey had used the same bed , but admitted hat ho stayed In the house several nights. Latham's neck was ornamented with a long chain , of which he seemed very choice , nd on his little ) finger wan a ring. Both of hem , the testimony developed , belonged to Mrs. Wyman , and Latham claimed she had oaned them to him to wear since their roubles commenced. The Jewelry was ol < 'ered ' In evidence by W. C. Hendrlcks , , atham's lawyer , but Latham stoutly re- 'used to turn It over to the court or any body else. Then Emmet TInley , attorney for he prosecution , also offered the Jewelry In evidence , and secured an order of the court enforcing his demand. Latham took oft the hain and ring with a bad grace and gave hem Into the keeping of the Justice. If Mrs. Wyman proves ownership they will be ; urned over to her after the trial. The at- : orneys had not finished their .arguments at : he hour of evening adjournment , and th : case will be resumed this morning.
