Show Crazies. A couple of lunatics came down on - the train from Ogden last evening, j and were subsequently taken in cus-I cus-I tody by the police. One is an Irisb-. Irisb-. man and the other is a Chinaman. ' Tho latter has lost his queue, and is in a sad plight. He will not speak, and when taken to an Oriental Orien-tal wash house his countrymen ap-i ap-i pcared to be afraid of tbe fellow, and ' denied that he was Chinese. The Irishman says that he has been in i tbe Montana lunatic asylum five years, and the Chinaman two years. They were brought down from Montana Mon-tana by an officer, who told them that he would take them lo Virginia city, where they would be paid $100 per month. The officer put them cn the cars at Ogden and told them they would be met here by a man who wsuld employ them. This story can hardly be credited, though it may be true. An investigation should be made, and if it can be shown that the Irishman tells a truthful tale, steps should be taken to have Mon t-'na take back its crazies. |
