Robert C. Funston Sr. lant week
signed an insanity charge against
his son, Robert C. Funston Jr.
The two had been having Borne
trouble, and the allair culminated
in the insanity charge. Dr. F.
A. Bailey, who has practiced
here for 45 years, and Dr. Ira 10.
Barrett examined the young
man, and their finding was that
he was not insane. They report
ed to Judge Snith. however,
that they thought it wise that
the young man be turned over to
some one who would look after
him. Mrs. Minnie Brakebush,
whoBe sons run a dairy near Syl
van, was made the custodian of
the young fellow and he is to
report monthly to the county
judge.
Young runston is possessed of
a violent temper only where his
pater familias is concerned. 1 he
elder physician warned the pa
tient to remain away from his
father. Fred Brakebush. a son
of the woman who will have
charge of the excitable young
fellow, says that runston Jr. is
a good worker, and that he
makes no trouble for anyone ex
cepting the father, and that he
would not do that if the elder
Funston would keep away from
him.
The patient shows evidence of
arrested development, and in all
likelihood, with care and re
straint, he will come out all
right.
The runstons are very devout
church people, but this has not
saved them from severe criticism
from their neighbors.
