Last evening a well dressed man of apparently thirty-five, was found crying on the steps of a South Main Street block, and was taken into Werner & Brenner's. As his cries did not cease, and nothing could be discovered as to the reason of them, thejail was telephoned toand TurnJtey McCabe took him to the jail and gave him a bed. He apparently heard nothing that was said to him, although spoken to in both English and Germán, and uttered no sound except that of sobbing. A pencil was given him, but he would not write. He cried himself to sleep. He had twenty-six cents and a number of letters addressed him in German. This morning he was still crying. Dr. Kapp came down to see him. He was dumb, but wrote an excellent hand, andstated he was from Wisconsin, had no place to go and nobody wanted him.
