MADE INSANE BY FEVER

Naval Officer’s Mind Disturbed by Illness Contracted In Cuba. Washington, May 21.—Ensign Edward Guerrant Hargis of the United States navy, a nephew of the noted Judge Hargis of Breathitt county, Kentucky, has been declared to be afflicted with “depressive insanity.” An order was made that his wife, a daughter of Rear Admiral Hawley, U. S. N., retired, shall get SIOO a month out of her husband’s allowance from the government. Hargis won honors both in his class and on the athletic field. At a Cuban port he contracted tropical fever, which brought on his present trouble.
