A Minneapolis Business Man Kept for
Two Years in AN Asyluna.

CHICAGO, March ia dispatch from Minnea 20
lis says: sylvester s. Hall, the builder who disap-
peared over two years ago. turned up yesterday,
having come directly from the Rochester Insane
Asylum, where he has been confined In August.
1885, three weeks after his marriage, Mr.. Hall
lert his home for the Boston block telling his wife
he was expecting to take contract for the erec-
ton for a row OF buildings. That was the last
seen OF him until yesterday. A search for the
missing man was Instituted and kept up for
months, but without success. The matter was
placed in the hands or the police, but
after some time they gave up the hunt,
not having been able TO run down a
clew. Then private detectives were put on the
case, but they also were completely baffied.
Hall cleared up the matter In a strange story. He
said that after leaving the architects Office he
went out TO the short-line bridge, at the western
limit OF st. Paul TO look at the location OF the
houses he was TO build and, before returning, sat
down 10 rest. just then st. Paul policeman, In
search OF Henry Jones, an escaped lunatic, came
