Sheriff j. w. Reagan, of Webster
parish, arrived yesterday on the
Minden stage, having in charge a
young white man named Asa A.
Hillman, who resides in Webster
parish, 15 miles from Minden, and
an old colored woman named Han.
nah Monroe, both of whom have
been interdicted. The young man,
he informs us, went crazy on reli-
gion, and is rather violent. Sheriff
Reagan placed them in the cells set
apart for such cases in our Jail, and
will leave for the insane asylum with
them this morning. The case of
young Hilman is most unfortunate
one, as he has a wife and two
children.-Shre0eport s. Standard, 9th.
