to the Taylor House. apparently in his
right mind. He ate his supper, conducted
himself properly and retired early, attract
ing no more attention than other guests
about'the hotel. This morning the in
mates of the hotel, or those in the imme-
date vicinity of his room, were awakened
by cries of distress, loud noises, etc., and
supposing something was wrong, some OF
them went to his room and found litter
ington, in an almost nude condition, his
head somewhat bruised and the room in
complete disorder. The sheets for his bed
had been thrown out of the window, while
his shirt was torn to tatters. He was COM
pletely unmanageable, would listen to no

in holding him down, until the arrival of

nearly as can be ascertained he had been
to Chicago with two car loads of cattle,
and, it is supposed has sold them and been
robbed of the proceeds; this is, however,
only conjecture. He seems unable to give
any account of himself and talks incoher-

that he he is subject to these.spells; that

he entered a pair of horses, for which he
