Student Went Violently Insane

STUDENT WENT VIOLENTLY INSANE

Overwork and Brooding Over Ill Health, the Cause.

HE IS NOW IN JAIL

Awaiting the Arrival of His People Who will Take Him Back Home.

Malcolm McLennan, a freshman medical student, who has been rooming at 422 E. Kingsley street, went violently insane Wednesday. He has been sick, or rather out of health, for the past eight months, and fell behind in his studies. Overwork in trying to catch up, and brooding over his ill-health, caused his mental collapse.

The first thing noticed about him that aroused suspicions that he was breaking down happened a couple of days ago, when he burst into another student 's room and asked if it would be necessary for him to get a pair of tight pants to wear at the examinations in the medical department.

Last evening he boarded a street car and rode back and forth, talking to everybody who happened to be a passenger. He became so troublesome that he had to be turned over to the police. Then he became violent. He was placed in jail and commenced to call everybody "spies." He was determined to fight and was put in a cell with considerable difficulty.

His people at Calumet have been telegraphed for and will probably take him back home.

It is a most unfortunate and lamentable occurrence.
