LoGANsPoRT, Nov. 12-Joseph Gottselig. a
young man twenty years of age. was this aft
-ernoon adjudeed insane by DIR. Coleman and
'Squires Fender and Edison. The unfortunate
young man is son of Mr. John Gottselig,
well-known shoemaker. At the inquest it was
shown that young Gottselig is dangerous per-
son, and steps will be taken to have him placed
in the asylum Immediately. Six years ago he
left here and went to Lagrange, where he estab-
lished himself in the boot and shoe business and
for time was quite successful. He was then
in the enjoyment of good health and spirits, and
the world seemed to have many charms for him
until he met and courted young lady, who
after a time became tired of him, any finally re-
fused to keep company with him any longer.
This made him melancholy, and he brooded over
his unsuccessful courtship to such an extent that
he neglected his business sighted his friends,
and was in all respects changed man. Time
failed to heal the wounds that light-hearted
young girl had stamped on his heart and his I'M
happy love affair has unbalanced his mind. 1t
is thought that with proper treatment ne will
soon recover his reason. He has always been
young man of excellent habits.
