CARRIGAN FOUND INSANE---LEAvES
 ON ADMIRAL LINE

Thomas Carrigan, who was taken into custody last week at Mile 52 on the charge of insanity, was adjudged insane this afternoon by jury in the commissioners court
 Carrigan believes that he has been followed and persecuted during the past three years by some unknown persons, who continually cause his dismissal from employment
 He also claims that three different attempts have been made during that time to render him unconscious, by blowing a white powder in his face when he was presumed to be sleeping. Carrigan's trouble is considered to be due to high state of nervousness, which will undoubtedly be eliminated by proper treatment, but if neglected may develop seriously.
 He will leave on the Farragut in the company of Deputy Marshal Kas- sler. who will take him to the hospital in Portland, where such cases receive special treatment.
