Norfolk Asylum Crowded Full.

Pierce Leader: On complaint OF
his daughter, Fred Degner. an old
gentleman from Hadar, was brought
before the insanity board of Pierce
county last week for examination as
to his mental ability and at the CON
clusion of the hearing, it was de-
cided that he was a fit subject for
the Norfolk insane asylum. Conse-
quently Sheriff Il. A. Dryer took Mr..
Degner to the asylum, but on arriv-
there the superintendent in charge in
formed him that he could not take
Mr.. Degner for the reason that the
room was inadequate and that twenty
five applications for patients were al
ready ahead of the one from Pierce
county. Therefore Sheriff Dryer and
his prisoner returned to Pierce, and
ever since Mr.. Degner has been in
the custody of the sheriff. Mr.. Deg
ner is an old man, he now being
about 6S years of age. He is not vic.
lently insane, but has a tendency to
start trouble at home to such an eX-
tent that his family are afraid of him.
1t is the belief of many that the old
gentleman will never be taken to the
asylum.
