Gustave Theilkuhl Oreates Excitement in the Police Oourt, Has Been Insane, a: Arrest Brings on Trouble Again, Gustave Theiikuhi, who attempted suicide, and was adjudged insane, was treated in the government asylum for the insane and was discharged as cured. But today when he appeared in the Police Court ne gave renewed evidences of a return of men- tal disorder, and had he not been restrained Wm. E. Wilson, who had him arrested, would have fared badly at the hands of the infuriated man. Theilkuhi, who is a well-known citizen here, first showed evi- dences of mental trouble in the latter part of November, 1501, ‘about which time one of his children died. He had formed an attachment for the child, and when death removed from this world the one he loved so well the affliction was more than he could bear. Following the interment otf the-child he spent a great part of his time about the grave. One afternoon, just as | the sun had set, he rested himself beside the last resting place of the dead one, and then attempted self-destruction by using a pistol. The report of the pistol shot was heard, and later the wounded man was found by one of the men in charge of the cemetery. On the Sth day of December, 1801, he was tried by a marshal’s jury and adjudged sene. Then he was committed to St. Eliza- beth’s Asylum, from where he was dis- = on the 24th of the following May as “place that time Theilkuhl has appeared perfectly sane. He recently accepted a po-| sition from William KE. Wilson of No. 418 6th street northwest, but he soon left the place an Fo photographer's | lense belonging to Wilson, leaving a note at | the place informing Mr. Wilson that he | could get the instrument upon payment cf what was due him. An Exciting Scene. Notwithstanding the fact that the note was left at the place, Mr. Wilson went off | and swore out a warrant, upon which | Photographer Theilkuhl was arrested. | He stood in the dock charged with the | theft of the lense. Wilson made his state-) ment, telling the court about the note left | by Thelikuhl. Then an exciting scene fol- lowed. The prisoner indulged in the use of pro- fanity and made a rush from the dock in the direction of Wilson, threatening to kiil him. Jawyer Carrington, who was in court, had motioned to the judge to inform him of the dangerous character of the man, so that when the rush was made the court | was not su! Bailiff! Botts and @ number of police offi- | cers grabbed the prisoner and prevented him from doing injury to Wilson. then rushed out of the court room and) taken back to the cell. The Judge's Comments. Judge Miller said that there vas no lar- ceny in the case, and wanted to know of Wilson why he resorted to the criminal process in the matter, “The next time you want to iocate trop- | erty in this way,” said the judge, “you! had better resort to the civil court or con- sult the iting attorney. This has brought on the a trouble again, it permanent injury to on the gas/ eat in the The Amatear Bowling League. ‘The Amateur Bowling League played a series of games for the championship on the alleys of the Washington Athletic Club last evening.

R. Dement of the W. A. C.’s made) the banner score of the evening, reaching | 470 pins in the three games. W. H. Magin- nis of the same team scored 186 pins in the | game against the Carroll Institute team, the highest score yet made in the tourna- | ment. ~The Carroll Institute team still leads in| the race, notwithstanding the defeats it} sustained last evening.
