CASE OF WHEELS
Barbo was 4Adjudged Insane
but will be Held Here for
Identification.

There ia but little doubt thnt the
man calling himself Martin Bnrbe,
who was taken III by the police
Tuesday night. is insane, and the the
circumstances surrounding his case
are somewhat peculiar.
He was subjected TO q very rigid
examination in the probate court
Wednesday afternoon, and the doc
tors agreed that he is insane, but how
long he has been in that, condition.,
or he cause of 1t. they were not able
to determine. - N .r# 5i
Ali recent events are a blank IN his
mind, and when questioned in that
regard to ascertain from whence ne
came. he would wander off on all
ship stories, and tell about being
robbed by two men, and having
killed one of them. r s. s
About the only coherent state
ments made by him were in regard
to his early life. He claims that he
was born in 1885, said he was
married in 1859 to Mary Benson at
Syracuse, New York. When asked
where his wife was ut present. he
said she was killed last night inssA
shipwreck H. said he was an old,
soldier, enlisting at Rochester, N. Y1s
IN Co. E.. 22nd New York Cavalry.
Was with Sheridan in the ShenAn.
doah valley. Was Il cavalry scout,
under Major Moore, chief of scouts:
was wounded before the battie#Of
Winchester in the knee. This last
statement is corrOborated by a scar
ON his right knee.
When asked to write his name he
complied. after III akinG some illegihle
characters ON the paper resembling
short hand. The name written by
him was spelled Bar DO. He has
several times stated that his name
was Martin Barbu, and he has ulls
dOubtedly told the truth, for the
initials, IN. b." are tatOoed inIndt8
ink on his right arm. There is alsd
tatOoed On his right rlnsss ~ iemssle l
figure and On his left arm there are
three female figures, all done In India
ink. 4.. | %
His condition leads to the belief
that he has been in his present
condition but a short time, Of if he
has, he has been in someone's care
until very recently. His person was
clean, his underclotlling evidently
having not been worn but few
days.
He Is apparently harmless. show
ing no signs of violence. He sub
mitted to his examina ton quietly
and good naturedly and when not
answering questions, rested his head
on his hand, as If engaged in deep
study. 49,. .%.1r., ..4
He said he was a fisherman and
when asked who some of the specta-
tors were, he invariably identified
them as someone he knew on the
Pacific coast. He mentioned PascO,
WASH, Astoria, Oregon, and from
his statements it is evident that he
has been on the coast at some time.
One of the bus drivers think he is u
man who got off Of the east bound
passenger train Tuesday morning.
Inquiries will be madefrom the traia
crew to find out where he came from.
1t is not likely that he has Travelled
far in the condition he now is.
Nothing was found In his pockets
but a nickel, some tobacco, and a
bunch Of cigarette papers.
He will be held here few days and
If n. further Information II found in
regard to him he will be sent to the
FerQ us Falls asylum.
