Taken To The Poor Farm.

George Hellengren, the unfortunate young feeble minded Swede, from Milroy Tp., who was placed in jail a month or two R"n. for enfn keeping, was today taken to the county poor house, by order of the county commissioneis. He recently evinced a disposition to be dangerous to members of the family, and they were afraid to keep him at home any longer. An attempt was made to secure his admission to the state school for feeble minded children, at Fort Wayne, but they would not take him as being too old.
