Holliday had the misfortune to drive his
black mare into a barb wire fence which
had been built across a road, and no
ditch or other obstruction made to indi
cate the fact. The mare was severely cut
about about the front legs. When fences
are built across traveled roads the law
requires that some sign be given the
public of the same, in order that such
accidents as this one may be averted.
The unfortunate mental condition of
Conductor Frank Brainard is generally
deplored. A week or two since he went
east to the bedside of his mother, and
while there his mental derangement be
came so marked that he was sent back
here in charge of an officer, arriving in
the city on last Friday night. Since this
time he has been under the care of rela
tives and friends here, being assisted by
an uncle who arrived from Iowa,Monday
night. No special cause is known for his
sad condition. All hope, however, that
the clouds which now obscure his mind
may be soon driven away, and he be
again clothed with unimpaired mental
faculties.
