AN INQUEST HELD And Declare Him a Subject for the Asylum—Will | Take Him to Germany Ernst Oscar Schienfeld. the mysterious Dutchman who came from Ger imany to this country at the same t’me that Julius Haugk returned from a vißlt in that country, and who since has resided In Decatur, is declared insane by Dps. D. D. Clark and J. M Miller and every person m the city that has noticed his antics. Htuce being here he has acted strangely on several different occasions. Last week he hailed Marshal Boknke and re quested iniin to accompany him (Schienfeld) to the Holthouse Schulte & Company store, where a mechanical device was !n action. The dutchman then told Bohnke that such a disastrous thing should not be allowed to exist and he shook his fist at it. This j was sufficient evidence that he was mentally unbalanced and Bohnke has watched his actions since. Last Saturday he struck Charles Bittner be j cause he imagined he was being j laughed at, and his arrest followed, i Squire Smith found him guilty of as 1 sault and battery and sentenced him to ; jail and since being Incarcerated he has caused the sheriff and family I much annoyance by making all sorts iof noises. The dutchman became so I j boisterous Sunday evening that it was | necessary to lock him in a small cell. His actions have been so curious that Drs. D.D.Clark and J. M. M'iler were engaged to hold an inquesj which proved his insan-lty conclusively. Papers have been made out to send him to East Haven asylum, at Richmond, from where a guard will take him to Germany at the expense of the | Germany government. Scjjiendfeld admits that during the time he was, a soldier he was committed to an asylum for nine months. Many people here are of the opinion that the foreigner ira only homesiojt, tyit from developments there is something more serious about his naflire. The dement man will be taken to Richmond ag soon as arrangements can be made.

to Bridge La§t Night to Arrest Mashers e 0 Skeleton, son of police judge Skeleton, of Fort Wayne, wandered to this city on an early car Sundrimorning with a good sized package of bad whiskey o n board and displayed himself too numerously on ihe mai:? street, whereupon Deputy Sheriff Ed Green escorted him to the county jail for a night’s lodging. After arriving In the city he went into the Model cigar store, where he got into trouble with some boys. He became angered and went outside where he uttered oaths that were most disgraceful. His incarceration will no doubt serve as a reminder that he must obey the law while in our city at least. He was given a hearing before Squire J. H. Smith this morning and sentenced ten days in the county jail. ■ —o A farmer entered one of our stores the other day and asked the price of sulphur.
