GEORGE w. PERRY SENT
TO THE STATE HOSPITAL

George w. Peery, a rancher for
many years on upper Sage creek,
vas given a hearing at the court
house Tuesday before a jury of six
men and the verdict rendered was
to the effect that Mr.. Peery could
be more efficiently cared by at the
hospital at Evanston and will be
taken to that place in a few days.
Mr.. Peery is seventy-six years of
age and has resided with his wife
and son at the home ranch. OF
late he has been restless and in the
habit of starting off afoot, and it
has been necessary to keep a con-
slant watch of him to keep him
from endangering his own life. The
family are unable to properly care
for the father, and with the cold
season approaching, and the hazard
of the old gentleman getting away
and freezing to death or suffering
exposure, it was thought advisable
to send him to the state institution
for care and protection.
