 Thursday morning oai.: left for the Territorial Ins4 Ass lum at Phos- nix. with City Marshal J. B. Moore. who last Tuesday was declared of un- sound mind. The unfortunate officer has been in poor health for some time past, having suffered stroke of paraly- sis, but until a few d.ys ago tiDued to perform the duties of his office. One day last week, however. he took turn for the worse, and acted ia such a queer manner, his friends be- came alarmed and took steps to pre- vent him from harming himself or his friends. Tuesday he was taken be fore Probate Judge Marsteller and ex- amined by a ommission of local phy- sicians, who adjudged him of unsounf mind, and Judge Marstelier committe I him to the asylum at Phoenix. where it is sincerely hoped he will soon regain his reason, which has been shattered by phys ysical and menta illness To the family of the afflicted city marshal we extend our sympathy.
