PORTLAND, April Civilian Her
bert, an insane man was shut up in
jail among the other prisoners last
night. During the night he broke
the iron chain with which he was
handcuffed, seized James McCleve-
land by the throat and began to shut
OFF his wind at the same time severely
cutting him in the neck. Some Of
the others in the room went to Nc
Cleveland,s assistance. 1t took eight
men to subdue the infuriated manaic.
He is a native of Missouri and has q
wife in Albina. He was taken to
Salem this afternoon.
Jno. Q. Hayes who was arrested
last Wednesday on a charge of OBJ
tanning money on a post office money
order not his own, pleaded guilty to
day and was sentenced to three
months in the county jail.
This afternoon the last will of Mrs.
Esther Holiday, late widow of the
ate Ben Holiday, was filed in the
lprobate court. The document was
signed by deceased on the Doth of
October, 1857, and witnessed by John
H. Mitchell and James O'Meara. The
text of the will is substantially as
follows: Il direct that my body
shall receive decent Christian burial
and my last resting place shall be
marked by stone suited to my sta
ton in life. I bequeath all my estate
and effects unto my personal friend
General Rufus Ingalls,, upon trust
for the sole use of my two beloved
children, Linda Holiday and Ben
Campbell Holiday, to share alike. All
monies realized from the sale of my
estate shall be paid over to him as
guardian of my children. hereby
nominate my personal friend General
Rufus ingalls, sole executor of this
my last will. [ also appoint General
Rufus Ingalls, guardian of the persous
and estates of my two children with
full power to manage and culture their
persons and estates, until they attain
TO the age of 81 years, respectively.
In the event of General Ingalis's
death, refusal or inability 10 act as
such guardian, then it is my will that
James Steele, Esq, assume such re-
sponsibility."
The nomination OF General ingalls,
as executor of the estate will most
likely act on Joe Holiday as a red
shawl shaken into a bulls face. The
two men Pave been at swords point
for a long time, and the litigation
over the Holiday estate is almost
certain to continue.
Mrs. Jennie Snyder, who is serving
a term in the county jail for con-
tempt of court, has two children, one
of whom is a boy six years Of age,
who has been sick with consumption
for the past year. This morning while
a reporter was in the jail she was no.
titled that this child is liable to die
at any moment. Her grief was in
tense, and q copious flow of tears re-
suited. Judge Tanner was apprised
of the fact and expressed himself as
being willing to allow Mrs. Snyder
the jail limits, so that she may be able
to take care of her dying child.
This morning S. A. Nahon, former
ly prosperous business man of this
city, recently convicted of burglary
