Complaints were made to the board of
selectmen that for some little time past
the women of Knightyille had been an.
moved by the peculiar antics Of man
who repeatedly peeped into their windows
and otherwise was annoying, and that
this man was one Timothy Goodsoe, an
inmate of the roor house in the town of
south POI tland Goodsoe has long been
a resident of Knightville, and at one time
was the owner of two good houses in the
village which were left to him by Mrs.
Keszar For the past year or so his mind
has given evidence OF weakness and at
one time he was picked up by the Portland
police in pitiable condition and for sew
eral days he was out of the possession OF
his normal faculties. About four weeks
ago he was placed in the Portland aims
house, but the authorities there on ascer-
tanning the mans history, had him trans
ferred to the South Portland officers who
placed him in the town poor house.
Taking ant'on on the complaint just
mentioned, the board of selectmen had
the man examined Tuesday last by three
physicians, Drs. Brown, Rogers and Lom-
bard, who pronoun oed Goodsoe insane and
recommended his confinement. Accord.
ingly it was thought best to send the man

conducted him there on yesterday s
train.
