I GOES TO ASYLUM. ‘ Tom Shannon Not Yet Identified. Thomas Shannon, the demented man found living in a but of bark in a big woods south of the Normal 1 college two weeks ago, was official- ‘ ly declared insane today. An inquest to determine his insanity was held this morning by a commission composed of Drs. M. J. Lewis and O. W. McQuown and Justice Weesner. Shannon is recommended as | a fit subject of treatment at an in- I sane asylum. Nothing further his j been learned as to where Shannon came from and there is much of mystery about him. Shannon 11 1 says he was worked in the timber I camps of Michigan, north of De- ' troit, but cannot remember the names of any of the towns he : has visited or of any person he ' has met. He says he knows of no friends. He gives a nickname .to every person he sees and does 1 not know them by their real names. I The police have made fruitless at- ' tempts to locate any friends or relai tives that Shannon might have.— ■ Marion Leader. We have never 1 heard of but one Tom Shannon and the probabilities are that this is the Geneva man whose police record is well known in Adams county.
