 Late Sunday night Selectman filling was called from his comfortable couch to investigate the case of a man who had driven to R. D. Harrison's door and demanded entertainment for him self and beast. Owing to peculiar cir cumstances MT. Harrison suspected that his nocturnal visitor might be a horse thief, and at once notified Select man Alling, who is the nearest town official, and who, in turn, summoned Deputy Sheriff George Foote. As the stranger gave his name as William Northrop, but his residence varously as at Southington Moosup and Mid dletown, the authorities of the latter DldcG were COIlS Dy lElGplIOlle, Wiicll it was learned that the man was an in- mate of the Connecticut Hospital for the Insane, and who because of his harmless disposition was usually given more than usual freedom. On the af- ternoon of last Saturday he was per- mitted to drive out with certain cler- gyman who resides in Middletown, and who took kindly interest in the hos pital patient The clergyman had oc- casion to stop at a house for few mo- ments, and while he was out of sight the horse started off on his own ac- count, carrying the insane passenger along with him, the latter not having sufficient intelligence to restrain the animal. All through the pouring rain of Saturday afternoon, through the semi -moonlit hours of the following night, the horse wandered about at his pleasure, stopping occasionally to nip the luxuriant grass by the roadside. until he brought up at MT Harrison's Sunday night. As officials from the hospital came and took the lunatic back to Middletown on Monday we have quieted down and all is serene again.
