HUNTING FOR HER LOST HUSBAND

An Ann Arbor Woman Found Insane on the Streets of Jackson.

SAID SHE WAS LOOKING FOR HER LOVER

She Was Mrs. Jennie Ward of Detroit st. This City.

Separated from Her Husband Eight Years Ago--She Has Worked at the Hay-Todd Company and Also at Housework and Was Thirty-Five Years of Age.

Early Tuesday morning Patrolman Lewis found a woman of 35, well dressed, on the street, who said she came from Ann Arbor and was looking for her lover. The officer concluded she was crazy and took her to jail. Her name, she said was Jennie Ward, but at one time she was Eliza Halliday, and had lived at Stockbridge.-- Detroit Evening News.

Mrs. Jennie Ward has lived in this city for several years. Her present residence is at 503 Detroit st. She is about 35 years of age and does all sorts of house work for a living.

It is now nearly eight years that she has been seperated from her husband, but not divorced. For sometime past she has acted strangely and the neighbors occupying the same house have several times commented upon it to others but the case did not seem so serious until Saturday when she insisted on taking her neighbors two children up town as she felt lonely.

Later she started for Ypsilanti and, although she did not say so, it was hinted that the purpose of this journey was to find her husband, and it was also understood that from there she would go to Pontiac. However, from the above dispatch it is quite possible that she left Ypsilanti for Jackson in quest of her husband.

There seems little doubt now but that she is demented. Recently she has been working at the Hay & Todd factory and drew $2 Saturday. She claimed that she did not have enough to eat, but when Officer Isbell entered her home after she was reported missing, he found a lot of meat, bread and other eatables and the furniture was all turned up-side down.

CANNON TO BE MOUNTED ON CAMPUS

The Senior Literary Class Will Erect It as a Class Memorial Dedicated to Soldiers of Spanish War.

After several meetings of wrangling and discussion over the question of a memorial, the senior literary class has finally arrived at an amicable agreement, and at yesterday's meeting of the class, decided to adopt its committee's report. The report was that the class secure a cannon, mount it, and dedicate it to the Michigan soldiers of the late war.

The cannon can be obtained through the local G. A. R. Post, under an act of congress, and can be secured in time for the dedication to take place before commencement. The entire cost, including the mounting and engraving the names of the soldiers, will be no greater than the average class memorial.

The class took action on the recent death of F. L. Brown, and appointed A. H. McMillan, P. W. Jones and Paul Moody as a committee to draw up suitable resolutions. A committee consisting of Chas. B. Holle, J. G. McHenry and Miss F. L. Petit was empowered to select an appropriate floral remembrance. The '99 engineers will send three of their members to attend the funeral, which occurs at Bay City today.

A baseball tax of 25 cents per member was voted, and the manager of the baseball team was empowered to collect it. -- U. of M. Daily.

LEFT FOR CHILDREN TO PLAY WITH

A Heavily Charged Coil of Electric Wire on a Street Corner Over Night.

Electricity is a dangerous agent in the hands of the ignorant or thoughtless. Tuesday evening the workmen on the D., Y. & A. A. electric railway who are putting in a new food wire for the road on S. Main and Packard sts. shut off work at 6 o'clock and left a large coil of wire on Packard st., corner of Fourth, a few feet from the ground and within reach of children. It was soon found that it was charged with electricity evidently from induction and an electrical expert made a measurement of the amount of electricity and found that it carried 550 volts. In other words it was a live wire and as dangerous as is the trolley wire itself. lf a child had grasped it, it might have been killed. Mayor Luick was summoned and hunted up the new marshal who stationed a watch until the company was forced to send a man to guard the wire. But for the fact that the wire was seen by parties who knew something about electricity, the papers might have been called upon this afternoon to chronicle a terrible death by electricity.
