DOUGLAS, Sept. 28.-It was no surprise to the people here that Dr. G. c. Maule was found by a jury in the court of the United States Commissioners Court at Jul neau yesterday to be mentally in competent. Dr. Maule returned from the south nearly four weeks ago in a sadly off condition. Ten days later he was arrested at Juneau and taken before the commissioner but friends intervened and endeavored to care for him, hoping that he would recover with the working out of his system the results of dissipation. He failed to get any better and was acting very irrationally when again taken into custody Tuesday. He will now be sent to the sanitarium at Morningside, where, it is believed, with proper treatment, he will even tually recover Dr. <Maule was for mer President of the Territorial Den tai Board and is very thorough in his profession.
