The matter of keeping Archie
Campbell, the young man placed In
'jail last week accused of stealing a
horse near Givin, at the expense OF
this county, was brought to the at
tention of the couny board of super
yisors this morning. 1t had bee pro-
posed to file information against him
charging him with insanity, but as
he Is a resident of Osceola county,
Mahaska county commissioners have
no Jurisdiction over him. He will
probably be returned to his parents
as soon as arrangements can be made
and the board of supervisors of Os-
ceola county informed as to his con-
dition, they can then make such dis
position of the case as they see lit.
The evidence in the theft case will
probably not be presented to the
grand jury as the judgment of almost
everyone who has seen the young
man is that he Is feeble minded.
