Richard Hyde Insane

The life long acquaintance of
Dick Hyde were dumfounded
Tuesday when DR.. Hughes dis
covered him in the north part of
town in a badly disordered men
tai condition. Dick is about 35
years of age and an old bachelor
and has been about town most
of the time for several years tho
farming with his father. L. D.
Hyde mile north of the city.
He stayed at the Brown Hotel
Monday night and no particular
attention was attracted to him
for he has always been not much
of a talker. 1t has since devel-
oped that reading and hearing
war news had unsettled his rea-
son and he had wandered about
principally in the woods for sew
eral days. He fancied that Ger
mans were sfter him and would
get him, notwithstanding he
was large and powerful and
willing enough to handle several
ordinary men with ease.
He was adjudged insane Tues
day and sent to the, asylum at
st. Joe, Sheriff Hurt and James
Worsham accompanying him.
