Harry Noland Clear Crazy.

Harry B. Noland was brought over from Remington Friday P. M., and placed in the county jail for safe keeping, to await a reply to an application for his reception at Long Cliff asylum. He is the unfortunate victim of epilepsy and alcohol, who was recently detained in the jail for a long time, as a result of his attack upon some party in Remington, with a knife. His mother finally secured his release from jail and took him to Indianapolis, But he ran away from there and wandered back to Remington, where, a few days ago he attacked his mother’s tenant, Geo. D. Meyer, with a knife; and also the constable, who tried to arrest him. He was examined by Justices Chappell and Bloom and declared insane. He has been afflicted with epilepsy since birth, and has contracted alcoholism. Is suicidal, homicidal, hysterical, epileptic and a whole lot else. His age is 30 years. Application has been made for his reception in the asylum, but very likely, owing to its crowded condition, it will be some time before he can be taken there.
