AN ESCAPE
From the Grayson County Insane Hospital This Morning

The grounds police are looking high and low for Mrs. Callie Kettle, whose escape from that institution was discovered this morning.  She was adjudged insane several months since. It developed on trial that one besetting mania was a desire to do violence to her mother.
