STOCKTON, Aug. 24.-An insane patient
at the asylum named John Walsh gave
two of the attendants a long and hard
chase to-day in a crazy attempt to escape.

where the gas Well is being bored. He
ran and jumped into it. Raising the
whip he started the horse on run and
standing up in the buggy, dashed the poor
animal and headed him out of the
grounds. The horse was a gentle pony
owned by the contractor, but the crazy
man forced him to his best speed. and
drove out through the city yelling like q
demon, and using the whip with full
force, raising welt on the horse at every
blow.
He created great excitement as he
rushed along, and was soon followed by
Stewards Chestnut and Wood, and SUI
perYisor Fox in buggy The pace was
at the full speed of the horses, and lasted
for several miles, when the asylum Off
Gals ran up to the patient, whose horse
had given out. The patient made 10 re-
sistapce, and said not word while being
driven back.
The horses were bled to save them, and
reached the stables in fair condition.i
