was brought to this city. charged with be-
ing insane, and taken before Judge ] J
Whitney. A commission Of physicians,
consisting of Drs " + Alexander and DIR
] p Wallace, Was called. An examination
sf several witnesses, Indicated that Hau-
pert lad been a pretty "naughty" man,
throwing axes around and making his
neighbors very uncomfortable but such
testimony, with the examinations made
by the physicians, failed to prove that he
was insane, and he was discharged, Ac.
eording to the testimony Haupart has had
a large number Of epileptic fits, dating
through fifteen 10 twenty We ,rs, and whsu
under the influence OF such eonvulsions

sisting that Grimes was driving too fast In

back seat, where he was sitting. aud took
hold of the lines. This incensed Grimes, and
both men were soon having a rough and

drawing their knives and Grimes giving
Irwin fatal stab. from the effects of which
he died soon after. A murder trial will take
place at the next Court held at Walla Walla.

ruined over one mans style of drying is ex-
tremeiy ridiculous.
