Show The man Cabel, brought over from Spanish Fork day before yesterday for commitment to the insane asylum, alter an informal investigation of his mental condition was placed in the county jail there to be held a few days pending an official investigation as to his sanity. It was thought that Mb present ailing j was perhaps the aftermath of an extended ex-tended spree and that a few days care under treatment of County Physician Allen he would become rational again. The idea, however, seems to ba an erroneous one ; the man undoubtedly is permanently insane. He made Rome howl in the jail last night and no one in the vicinity could sleep for the noise he made, dearly every man he meets he fancies is some f mily relative and that there is a big family cisturbance which he must settle by mashing his relatives' heads or hurting them with anything he can get his hands on, and when he can't get at the people he makes most hideous noises. Jailor Wilkir.8, he says, is his father, and "the best father that ever lived."' Alex personally has no trouble with his crazy prisoner. Cabel is a member of the G. A. R., answers promptly to the secret signs and talks rationally about his experiences in the civil war. He has a very clepr eye; his is indeed a very peculiar case of insanity. |
