OAKLAND.-Assistant Jailer Lane took
Nathan Lenoir, the confidential employe
of the firm of Holbrook. Merrill & Stetson
of San Francisco, to Clark'S private Insane
Asylum at Stockton yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Lenoir lived at Fifth and Brush
streets in this city, where the police found
him Saturday morning violently insane.
The unfortunate mans present mental
condition is result of over-applicatiGn to
work. His family indign antly denies that
any domestic unpleasantness existed.
Mr.. Lenoir's son informed a CALL re-
porter yesterday that his father had been
so busy that lie had not had time to sleep
for the two nights preceding his attack Of
insanity.
-Four years ago Mr.. Lenoir was similarly
affected and was committed to Napa for
treatment. II is believed that had he de-
voted himself less arduously TO his work
his mind would not have given away sec
ond time.
