Tn this city the task of keeping the avenues grade ! up is a very diflicult one, owing to the fact' that the water from the numerous lulls all runs onto these thoroughfares, and it makes the work of the street de partment quite strenuous, but there should be no effort spared to see that they are kept as smooth and free from ruts and gullies as possible and that the grader is run over them quite frequently to keep them in the best of shape. " WILLIAM URWIN OF LOUISVILLE BEFORE THE INSANITY BOARD From AVednesday's lally. This morning the county board of insanity had before them Wil liam Urwin, a resident of Louis ville, who was brought down by Deputy Sheriff Manspeaker, com plaint having been tiled against him by Marshal Seybert of that place for being insane. The man seems rational enough in most matters, but claims that he has been shot several times by the residents and neighbors, and on Ibis point lie is very much off his base mentally. lie has an im pression that he has been shot several times through the breast bv Marshal Seybert and that others in that same village have made attacks on him. There were several present, at the hear ing from Louisville, who testified as to his actions on this point and his frequent assertions that lie had been badly wounded. lie is a man about 50 ears of age and stales he has a wife and family of six children. The testimony or the witnesses shows that on all subjects except the one of his be ing shot he is apparently as sound in mind as anyone. The board, after hearing the testi mony in the case, derided to send him to the state-hospital, where he will be given treatment in the hopes of restoring his former healthy mental state.

From Wednesday's Daily. This morning about 8:30 Mrs. Homer McKay met with a very painful accident at her home in the north part of the cily. She was walking around the yard at the home when she suddenly slip ped and fell, and in falling struck on her left arm, spraining it quite badly, and at lirst it was thought that she had broken the member, but on examination by the physi cian it was found only to be a very severe .sprain, which will, however, cause her to lose the use of the arm for some time, as the sprain is at the wrist and will of necessity be quite painful for several week?. As soon as the accident oecurred the members of the family hastened to her aid and she was conveyed to the house and medical assistance summoned l care- for her and the injury dressed and the patient made as comfortable as possible under the circumstances. About eight years ago Mrs. McKay suf fered a bVeak of this arm and it was feared by her family that a similar accident bad befallen her again.
