Mr. Cartmel has been visiting relatives at Waldron for several days and is said to have developed tendencies of a religious fanatic. His condition became violent on several occasions, the residents of Waldron say and he was believed to be dangerous as they claim that he threatened those about him and acted peculiarly.
