Remington Man Found Insane At Inquest Helt Saturday.

Albert H. Dickinson, a Carpenter township justice of the peace, conducted a hearing last Saturday to inquire into the sanity of Bryant W. Hammonds, who is 78 years of age, 6 feet tall and weighs 240 pounds. Drs. Rainier and Beser examined him and pronounced him insane. His wife testified his chief hallucination is that the bouse is on fire and he has a desire to throw furniture out of the house. He often thinks that he has made a mistake and got into the wrong house and Oat the owner is trying to give him the property. Sometimes he thinks he is a prizefighter and wants to engage bis wife in a game of fisticuffs. He has not yet been admitted to the asylum but application has been made. -
