the John Day Sentinel says: Farmers of

Frank Casbore, who was taken care Of by
the city marshal and sheriff while IN a de-
meDted condition, has been telling the story
In Portland that he was robbed at The
Dalles of Sl07.30. The facts In the matter
are that when he was picked up on our
streets he was penniless, dirty and ragged,
and apparently insane. He escaped from
the marshal's Office by tearing a hole
through the plastering. and on being taken
to the county Jail his first effort was to
find some means by which he could dig out.
After being examined for insanity, and not
found fit subject for the asylum his fare
to Portland was paid The authorities of
that city will know him better after they
have had experience.
