ELUDING THE GRAND JUaY.-A man
named Lucius D. Adams, who it is stated hi s
been twice an inmate Of Asylums for Insane,
came to this city one morning the latter pant
of last week, from John Pattersons rarch,
near the Costumes river, for protection. He
has evidently again become insane, and labors
under the impression that the Grand Jury is
after him and seeking his life. He came to
the city on horseback, and his steed looks as
if he had made the best possible time during
the entire eighteen miles Travelled. Upon
arriving he at once sought protection at the
hands Of the Sheriff, and looked back he
passed into the Jail as if he had at last eluded
his pursuers, and was safe. He told the
Sheriff that the jury had followed him closely
all the way to the city: that occasionally he
would get ahead of them, and then he would
let his horse rest by walking until they came
nearly up to him, and then he would save
himself by applying the spurs again. He will
probably be sent to Stockton to-day.
