G. Phillips, the 17.year-old son or A.
Phillips, teamster of this city, who
was adjudged insane by the insanity
board at Madison a few days ago, is
causing much trouble in the county
Jail, where he is confined, awaiting a

the Jail he has destroyed several suits
of clothes, and Saturday it was neces-

Joseph Toutan, confined IN the
county Jail charged with robbing the

that by getting a special jury at the
county seat will save the expense of

Toutan disclose the address of his
parents has proved unsuccessful. 81
