Insane Woman Sent To Hospital

Mrs. Jennie Ward, an insane woman, was taken to the jail Sunday by Officer Ball and has been confined there since, pending the completing of arrangements to send her to a retreat. Wednesday the matter was taken up by Judge Watkins and he was informed by the authorities that they could not possibly find room for her. As the woman is sick and a limb may have to be amputated, Judge Watkins yesterday morning made arrangements to have her taken care of by the hospital authorities, as there are no accommodations for her at the jail.

Mrs. Ward has been a resident of the city for some time and for the past year- up to about three months ago- kept house for one Ed Sachs, a well known character about town. At one time they contemplated marriage and applied to the county clerk for a license, but this was denied them, as the woman had never been divorced from her former husband. Lately she has been taken care of by Daniel Tracy. 1610 Fuller Street, but he does not feel able to harbor her longer and hence Officer Ball was asked to take her away.
