REMINGTON MAN GOES INSANE.

Failure to Secure Usual Allowance of Beer in “Dry Town” Sends flan to Asylum. Henry Trebes, or “Dutch Henry.” as he is generally called, who for several years had worked about the saloons at Remington in the capacity of bartender and porter, was brought over to the poor farm a few days ago, and yesterday Drs. Miller, English and Kresler and ;’Squire Irwin held an insanity inquest over him, found him insane, and apjjlication will be made to take him to Longcliff. Henry has worked in Rosenbaum’s saloon here considerably for the past couple of years but for some time now has been at Remington, where he has made his ;hoine. His insanity takes the form of senseless, maudlinism, and he complains of not being able to get any beer in Remington, which is a dry town. He is about 35 or 40 years of age and but for excessive use of liquor would no doubt be right in the prime of life now. To one of Henry’s tempermament it is not surprising that failure to secure beer has driven him insane. Anyone wishing to know of the opportunities of Western Canada will do well to write to B. F. Gaines, Hanley, Assa., Canada.
