Telepathic communications from the secretary of state came to Bob McMen saying certain ones were hostile to the government and that for them the quickest death would be the most mer ciful. Nine months in the year a lonely miner searching for gold and seeing but little of his own kind, the idea grew upon the Scotchman's mind until the suggestion became mania and he started on a rampage. Intending by means of an electric battery, which he thought possessed marvelous power, to end quickly the existence of all offen sive ones. This happened near Juneau, Alaska, some time ago. McMen was brought to Portland yesterday and placed In a sanitarium here by James M. Shoup ind J. A. Mulcahay. deputy marshals at Juneau, who believe that proper treatment and association with per sons who understand his condition will restore his sanity. "But what a time we had bringing him." said Officer Mulcahay at the Oregon yesterday evening, before start ing on his return trip to Alaska. "While we were on the vessel McMen would stand for hours gazing off on the distance. He would say that he was receiving messages from the gov ernment at Washington. He pointed out 18 or 20 on the ship whom It was desirable to kill. Shoup and myself would start out on a round of the ship; presently we would return and say that all had "been disposed of. "I think the electric battery caused his Insanity. It was old and worn out wondering " how it was constructed when he found it.' He took a good deal of interest In It, looking it over and when he wasn't busy. How he ever got it in the flrt place I don't know, hut It wasn't long until he began getting messages from the spirit land, then from the secretary of state, and finally he thought himself commissioned to kill the ones told about in his tele pathic messages. The funny part of it was that he would start out to kill people he had never seen. He would know their names and where they were located. It made us all uncanny. "As long as he thought we were put ting people nut of the way for him he was satisfied and as uulet as any man 1 ever saw. Rut tne Instant any one opposed him he would become violent. We never told him where we were tak ing him until we had gotten into the sanitarium, lie thought we were on a great journey round the world, killing all the poop'le that I'ncle Sam found bad in his enteriirl.se. "There is the danger that every man who goes to the Klondike undergoes. The solitude lias the worst kind of ef fect (.n him. I don't believe any sane man was ever intended to l!e. apart from the rest. Sooner or later when he tries it his mind goes flickering, and I've seen many a young fellow driven liv desire to make Ids fortune inik. who has o.iue up Into the gold fields and there found what we call 'solitude fevor' tnsicul of wiallh. "Hut the danger doesn't seem to frighifn the gold hunti if much. More are going to Alaska this year than ever before, and every Incoming vessel Is loaded with people, who think they can liae a s iinrr'-r evulsion and make ttieir forTone at the same time." 10 STAY LONGER ON RETURN TRIP San Francisco Business Men Arrive Here in the Morning.
