# CONDITION SHOWN INSISTED ON BY FEAR OF POISON ## Mrs. T. Weir Refused to Allow Children to Go to School, Committed to State Asylum. The attempts of Truant Officer Thomas Dunigan to compel Mrs. T. Weir to send her children to school and the tragic actions of the woman in resisting those attempts led to the discovery that the woman was insane. She was yesterday examined and committed to the state asylum. The truant officer made several unsuccessful attempts to interview Mrs. Weir in regard to her children, and finally gained access to her home at 365 south Jackson street, with Patrolman Harrison and Miss Margaret Murphy (Mrs. O'Donnell). It was then determined that it was to the best interests of the children as well as the unfortunate woman herself that the matter be examined on an insanity charge. Mrs. Weir accompanied and deposited to Sheriff O'Rourke's office yesterday morning, and the commission was made out. Yesterday afternoon it was ordered to go into Judge Donlan's courtroom. It was admitted that the man is court and she was afraid of all men. Mrs. Weir actually believed her husband, who died several years ago, was poisoning her. It was a bad man, she said, but she was even afraid of her because she was coming to poison her. She had been in the habit of tempting to poison her with food filled with sharp matches and other objects. A two-year-old son of the woman, who was with her showed much suffering because of his mother's and malnutrition. Neighbors of Mrs. Weir said she was always a good housewife and took good care of her children, but there was nothing now but to be in evidence, but she was absolutely not responsible and liable at any time to do some harm to herself. Her husband is dead, she is living in Helena, and two grown sons, who are employed in the city. Mrs. Weir is 56 years of age and a native of Hungary. Dr. Frank H. Clark and Dr. Cornelian were the examining physicians. Mrs. Weir was placed in a car, which was taken to the state asylum at Warm Springs, and was transported in an automobile. At first she refused to get into the vehicle, and was obliged to enter it on the pretense that she was going to see the physician who took good care of her health. --- # JOB UNITARIANS HAVE SECURED A MINISTER ## Joseph Kovacich Refused to Work as Miner to Support His Family—He Is Adjudged Insane. Joseph Kovacich, a native of Austria, who has been a resident of America for 12 years, was examined in Judge Donlan's court yesterday on a charge of insanity. The wife of the unfortunate man accompanied him to court and wept when, through the aid of an interpreter, she informed the judge and the examining physicians that she was compelled to have her husband arrested on that charge, as his actions tended her to fear that he might do violence to herself and several young children in the family. Also it was stated that he was so much talked as if he might do some harm to himself. The mania of the man, according to the testimony of his wife, such an ambitious turn as regards his occupation. He quit his job as a miner and refused to work, and in order to support his family he declared that he refused to work any more in a mine, and he could not get a job as a foreman of a mine. Kovacich talked English quite fluently. He stated that he was of the belief of any realization of what he had been brought there for or why he should be there. "You must know what I was brought here for, and you are sure to be in better condition," declared Kovacich. At the advice and suggestion of both Drs. Cornelius Turnell and J. B. Pitakin, as well as the testimony of his wife, it was declared that he was and was not responsible for his actions. He was adjudged insane and ordered committed to the state asylum.

The First Unitarian church of Butte has secured a minister after being for two years lacking in that very important matter. This is great news to those many members of the church and congregation who congratulating themselves upon no longer being without the steady care of a minister with whom they have been carrying on negotiations for some time, and although Rev. T. Clinton Brockway will not take charge for some months, the fact that a pastor so engaged will renew the interest and add new members to the congregation by no means has dropped enthusiastic. In auditing the situation it is stated that by the attendance at last Sunday night services have been held and the First Unitarian Society has been maintained as active and useful organization. News of the acceptance of the charge was received yesterday from Mr. Brockway, whose name was submitted by the board of trustees of the local church. Mr. Brockway is a member of a Unitarian family, consisting of a wife and four children. Not only is Mr. Brockway a Presbyterian minister, but his later services have been at Grand Junction, Colorado. He will arrive in Butte in September, and take up his work here. Mr. Brockway was first recommended to the Unitarian church by the national headquarters of that denomination located in Boston. The church has been without a regular minister since the departure from that position of Rev. Lewis J. Duncan, the present mayor. Mr. Duncan had charge of the church for two years previously and maintained a very attractive church home at the northwest corner of Montana and Aldrich streets.

The suit on appeal from a justice's court of Mrs. Margaret Douglas against James Young was up yesterday before Judge McClennan's court. The parties to the suit claim that Young obtained $24 from the Douglas woman. Mrs. Douglas claimed the Young's were in the habit of borrowing money. The playing of the Scottish national music of the bagpipes and Young's campaigns in the fall of 1910 as a candidate for county attorney all also figured in the taking of testimony yesterday, but the case was not continued yesterday. In his testimony Young claimed that he was in the habit of earning in support of his wife and children, and in addition, he said he had no occasion to borrow any money at all from his earnings. Young stated that he was a miner and that by working eight hours a day, working in the mines. He said he had been in the habit of playing of the Scottish national music of the bagpipes and had run as candidate for county attorney in 1910. He said he had the Young's to fall to the ground that he had no borrowed money. The case was not continued yesterday. --- ## KEEP THE CHILDREN'S BOWELS CLEAN NOW ### If Tongue Is Coated, Stomach Sour, Breath Feverish, the Bowels Clogged Give "Syrup of Figs." Nothing makes children sick as quickly as being over-fed or chilled. Get "California Syrup of Figs" and nothing else cleans the tender little bowels and liver and 35 feet of bowels so gently and thoroughly. Children get bilious and constipated without knowing it and the little stomach, the tongue is coated, stomach sour, breath feverish and foul, doesn't eat, sleep or act naturally, is cross and don't want to play. Listen Mothers—for your sick child's sake get "California"—don't swallow consuming castor oil, calomel or something harsh which cramps and pains. A teaspoonful of Syrup of Figs will never fail to open the bowels in a few hours. Syrup of Figs also improves digestion, absorbs all the poison gases and waste in the bowels and out of the bowels all the constipating matter, clogged-up waste and poisons, without gripping, nausea or griping. With Syrup of Figs you are not drugging your child—the "fruit laxative" composed entirely of luscious figs, senna and aromatics appears on the genuine "California Syrup of Figs." This is plainly printed on the package. Look for it and also see that the Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna has been approved by the California fig. This is the delicious tasting genuine old reliable remedy for young or old. --- ## PATRICK MURPHY DEAD.

You are sure that you were called? asked the telephone girl. I asked you by the correct time this morning. Jerry Lown, one of the old-fashioned men at police headquarters, tells a good story about his experience with a certain man who left a light on all night and went down next morning to be sure of obtaining him. The man was an extraordinary man and had had had no time to waste on his complaint—in his mind on his business. Being demanded: What are you going in there for? Into a dark to the stable, sir, was the answer. How—inquired the sharper. When it's dark and you look into the figure, he said, you'll be repaid how both difficult it will be in a very few minutes, to be back, sir. And when somebody else was the answer. There in a short while, that was down deep in side parlors, has been the answer, one of the men who was at the bottom of it. "Oh! Oh!"—Just like that—Oh!

I know this from experience, because after three years I struggled against almost steady headaches, without any relief. I could from doctors' treatments, they cost me a total of $150. I suffered so in grippe and malaria which left my system in a depleted state that when I failed to give my airy relief a change of medicine was necessary for me to be able to go back in school again. "I could not eat the ordinary meals, which was serious, because I got dizzy after meals. "I happened to read the road on article giving the experiences of another teacher using Grape-Nuts and, being somewhat skeptical, I started to try Grape-Nuts and cream as an experiment. The results were all expectations, and continues an efficient worker. "First I noticed that I was not hungry all the time. "In a few days that tired feeling left and I slept well and waked bright instead of dull and sleepy. "In six weeks my nerves and mental strength returned, and I had no more headaches. "I finished the year's work without difficulty, and since then I am free from dirty even half a day. "I tell the truth to the best of all who know me, wondering at the improvement." "I tell them all 'Try Grape Nuts.'" "There's a reason," read the little book, "There's a reason." — A copy of the above in book form, one appears from time to time. They are genuine, true and full of human interest. --- ## BARNEY SHANAHAN TWICE LOSER IN SUITS ### Jury Returns Verdict in Favor of J. M. Shanahan in Suit for Room Rent. Court Notes. The suit of Barney Shanahan against J. M. Shanahan to recover on a claim for room rent was tried before a jury in Judge McClennan's court yesterday.

Shanahan for his costs.
