We learn that Mr.. Henry Trainor, of
Washington, was brought here by
Deputy NeyIand on Tuesday and placed
in the Parish Jail. because he had CON-
mitted acts which are without doubt
due to the diseased condition of bis
brain. It seems that the subject which
most troubles his mind is desire to be
elected chief OF police of his town, and
he declares that he was imprisoned in
order to be prevented from securing
the office. The young man has many
friends and acquaintances here who
regret to learn of his misfortune, and
they hope that his recovery will be
speedy and complete.

no claim whatever on either of the two,
