To The Insane Asylum.

Tuesday’s Daily: Word was received by telegraph, late yesterday afternoon, that Harvey Robinson, of Gillam Tp., would be received at Long Cliff asylum. There was great delay in hearing from the asylum, owing it is thought, to the absence of Dr. Rogers, the superintendent, who in cases of such urgency, is always very prompt in answering applications for admission. As soon as notice of the acceptance was received the unfortunate man’s brother, Al Robinson, at Monon, was telephoned to and arrangements made for him to have his brother at Monon this forenoon. In accordance with that arrangement Sheriff Reed left on the 10:55 a. m. train, and presumably, before this, the insane man is safe in the asylum. Reports as to his condition received Monday, were that he was no better.
