Norman w. Horton, aged about q
years, who has worked in various towns
in this section, his last place being
at Shcrburnc, in u steam saw mill,
where he had been employed to
watch nights, attempted to sleep days,
but in Il hot room, under which Il fire
was kept, devoted his time to reading
sensational literature, aud was not able
to "makc much Sleep" so he got used
up some and came down here visiting
some friends, became crazy, aud was
taken charge Of by the town authority
and lodged in Jail. After being lodged
in Jail he became violently crazy and
ripped up his clothes and bed clothes
badly. Drs. Richmond and Chandler
pronounced him n fit candidate for the
asylum at Brattleboro. Then the
question of his residence came up, and
after much investigation and sharp
moves on tho part of town officers, he
was finally settled on Barnard, but
Barnard demurs and the question re-
mains unsettled. 1t appears that his
father lives there and that he (Norman)
paid taxes there oncc-thc last and on
ly time he ever paid taxes. He will be
taken to Brattleboro in a day or two.
The doctors think he will get over it in
time,
