they burned the mortgage that has

him insane and committed him to the

before jury, he was declared sane.
Now comes the state and appeals to
the supreme court, holding there is no
law for an appeal in such cases, and
that the decision of the county court is
final. 1t is held that the man should
have been sent to the asylum, and that
only the authorities there have the
