RELEASED FROM CUSTODY.
From Monday's Daily.
Last evening a man was brought
down from Greenwood who gave his
name as John Smith, but whose
name later was proved to be Adele
Carlson. He was chargetl with be
ing insane and from the action it
is testified he was guilty of, it had
the semblance of a very unbalanced
mind. It is claimed he was adicted
to a very loathsome habit which had
weakened his mind. He had gone to
a home where there was no one save
the woman alone, and the house dog
refused to allow the man to come in
the yard, whereupon he got a pole
and ran the dog away, frightening
the woman very badly. He was
given a hearing this morning before
the board of insanity, and dismissed,
as they did not have jurisdiction,
which would have warranted them
in giving him a cow-hiding.
