Sterling Cheever, of Newton county, was found of unsound mind and dangerous to run at large, by a jury in the Jasper circuit court last Friday and was ordered committed to the care of the sheriff until quarters could be found for him in the insane asylum at Logansport. After Cheever was placed in the jail he became very violent and attempted to kill himself by butting his head against the iron Sides of his cell. An attendant was required night and day to watch him. Monday night he was taken to Newton county and placed in charge of the sheriff there, as he properly belongs in that county. Cheever is 80 years old. Smoke the Mendoza cigar. For sale everywhere
