PLUMB CRAZY.
The Low Mental Condition Displayed
by Thomas Black.
He Frightened the People of Handley-i
Man of Easy Habits-No Expense
for Accomm odations.
us he crnZr or not2''

us he crazy or not:''
Sheriff Richardson asked that question
yesterday afternoon and found nobody
able TO reply positively, though those
who viewed the subject Of the inquiry
had no doubt that his mental develop
ment was not large.
Thomas Black was the subject.
Yesterday morning people coming up
from Haudley brought word to Sheriff
Richardson that there was a strange
man in the neghborhood of Hsndiey
conducting himself in such manner as
to frighten the natives. The sheriff i'm
mediately started to investigate.
About o clock in ths afternoon he
arrived at the courthouse again with
savage looking specimen Ct the genus
homo, which may be classified under the
head of tramp.
81 don know what have got, - said
the sheriff. This fellow has
been at Handley ana Arlington
for over week. He wont work
and begs his bread; therefore l know he
1t tramp. But he has conducted him.
self otherwise in such a way as to leave
a doubt whether he is crazy or criminal.
Every night he steals into q house
and goes TO sleep, generally in bed,
if he can tnd one vacant; and
no one knows anything about
his presence in the house till
next morning, when he is
found sleeping away as snugly as you
please, and he gets mad and vicious
when ordered 70 skedadile. One woman
at Handiey was nearly frightened TO
death by him. Her husband was
away from home, and she found this fell
low in her spare bed about D CLOCK in
the morning. He threatened her and
she had to fly TO a neighbours to get as
sistunce to rout him.
al found HIM asleep in the woods with
his back TO a fire. He talked some when
] disturbed him-wauted 10 scare me OIL,
but he soon saw what l was when l
showed him the handouts. After that
he accompanied me, but has refused to
speak all the way to Fort Worth.
81 don't even know his name, where
he s from, or whether he is crazy or not.
90 in and see if he will talk.
An attempt TO interview him revealed
only his name, that he had been at
Haudley aud Arlington-nOthing more.
He would not tell where he was from or
any other details.
He is q tough looking customer, with
large eyes, protrudng forehead and a
mass of hair well calculated for the WIZ
ter season.
The sheriff does not know whether to
charge him with lunacy or vagabondage.
