.HE EA VERY SICK MAN
DR.. Henderson Is in a Semi
Demented Condition.
PRISON And POOR FARM DOCTOR
Suffering from Attack of Nervous
PrOstratiOn.

The report became current this morn
ing that Or, Henderson, the old-time
physician Of Salem, had become
demented, and after a thorough inves-
tigation, such seems to be the case. The
DOCTORS close friends had noticed for
several weeks that he was not himself,
and for some days past he has visited
no patients without placing the case
into the hands Of llr. Mott and giving
him full responsibility. At first DIR.
Mott thought strange Of his actions,
but soon became convinced that all
was not right with him. He has
grown more nervous and restless from
day to day, taking very little food
until he has become physically ex-
hausted, and it is now believed he is
.uffering from severe stroke Of ner.
ious prostratiOn.
Sunday the DOCTORS condition be
came alarming and his friends were
called in. Judge Hubbard was with
aim until late in the evening and his
son, o. B. Hubbard, has been con.
'tantly with him for several dave.
LAST night he was given some med.
cine and the indications were that he
would be somewhat recouperated by
morning. But he awoke worse than
,ver.
This morning the deputy prosecuting
attorney, under advice OF the DOCTORS
friends, had him examined before
Judge Hubbard. Drs. Jessup and Mott
made the examinat. on, and decided
th At for the present 1t would be best to
have him taken good care Of in the
hope that he will soon be himself
again. They fear that an approaching
attack OF TYPHOID fever or some similar
ailment may be the cause Of his condi.
ton.
