A Ride With A Madman

A passenger on the Fase Bastera J&xpress over the M.C. Sunday night graphically describes an experience with a lnnatic on the train west of Jackson. The man was from Chicago, where he had been employed by a publishing house and was going to Ypsilanti, where he had friends. He was a large, dark complexioned man, and an easy conversationalist. While talking witb a passenger this side of Kalamazoo he suddenly became violently insane. He ran about the train frightening everyone by his wild actions and words. Finally he conceived himself to be Jesus Christ and tried to foroe the passengers to kneel before him. Then he started to leap from the moving train to certain death. The trainmen and several of the passengers were at their wits' ends to subdue and control him. When the train reached Jackson the poor fellow was arrested, taken from the train and locked up. The Ann Arbor gentleman who tells the story says that the memory of the ride with this madman will haunt him asleep or
