DeBAR PROBABLY INSANE

A correspondent of the n. Y Tribune, writing
from Waupun, Wis, thus speaks of DeBar
DeBar was young man OF about twenty-one
years OF age, almost beardless. American born, a
Wesleyan Methodist in good standing, industrious,
kind and trustworthy. During the last three
years he has been in the employ OF Christian
foung and his brother, both residing at West
Bend At different times, sums OF money to the
amount OF a thousand dollars had been in the
house, DeBar vas aware OF it Mr.. Young knew
it but had fears; would leave the house when
convenience required, and never once had a sus.
picion against the young man. Mr.. Young repre-
sents d. Bar as particularly kind and tenderheart
ed. His horses and cattle were treated as though
they had feeling
The day previous TO the murder DeBar was
grading wheat Tor Mr.. Young About O'Clock
T NJ. Debar Secame tatigued and Mr. Young
advised him to go 10 the house as he had not yet
recovered his strength from a fit of sickness a
short time previous DeBar went TO the house,
and, was his custom in his leisure hours, occu-
pied his time in reading. When Mr. Young came
in, DeBar inquired if the wheat shocked and
then resumed his reading He took supper as
usual, and al bed time REMARKED II is so warm
| guess II sleep in the barn again He took
the blanket as he had done for several successive
evenings and went il the direction of the barn
That night, about o clock he committed muir
der in the Muehr family.
Mr.. Young thinks II one of the most pnac-
countable things in the world He says DeBar's
health was impaired by sickness, and he fears his
mind was disordered
