sane man. who had been a prisoner in
chains for twenty years in his home, in
Indiana, Pa. was received at Dixmont
Asylum, shipped In a rough pine box.

hair was more like wild animal than
man.
According to the county officials and
physician, who accompanied the patient.
the man has been insane twenty years.

parents. The father. clinging to the
hope that his son might regain his rea-
son. shackled him with chains to the
wall Of a room In an obscure part of
the house.
The fathers death recently revealed
the story. AS soon as the county au-
thorities learned the state OF affairs
