H. C. WITMER INSANE.

THE WELL-KNOWN BANKER COM-MITTED TO STOCKTON ASYLUM.

Close Application to Business ProstratesHim and Finally Unhinges His Mind.What His Relatives Say?Four OtherInsane Persons Committed.

H. C. Witmer, the well-known banker,was taken before Judge Clark yesterdaymorning for an examination as to hissanity. The complaint was sworn to bySamuel J. Lewis, a brother-in-law ofMr. Witmer.

Mr. Witmer was one of the stock-holders of the California bank, and fora long time was an officer of tbe institu-tion. He was prostrated by overwork,and by reason of illhealth retired fromactive business life.

Drs. Hagan and Kurtz were summonedto examine the unfortunate man, andafter a thorough, observation and exam-ination adjudged him insane, and hewas ordered committed to the asylumfor the insane at Stockton.

In their certificate, the physiciansstate that the evideuce Of his brother,J. M. Witmer, his sister, Mrs. Mary A.Lewis, his physician, I)r. J. W. Hunt,and that of his brother-in-law, Mr.Lewis, shows that he wants to go aboutwithout clothiDg, and refuses to be at-tended to. Also that he is veryviolent at times, and is deeplydepressed by some business matter, thenature of which lie refuses to reveal toany one, and which appears to be thecause of his insanity, which they stateis developing.

He first showed symptoms of insanityin July, 1890, and took a long trip.Four or five days ago he had an attack,and on the 28th displayed his mania.He is regarded as dangerous to himselfand others, and the commission attrib-utes the loss of his mind to a closeapplication to business. Mr. Witmer isa native of this country and is but 35years of age. He will be taken to theasylum as soon as possible, liebecameviolent several times yesterday, andrequired constant watching, three menbeing required to controi him when theattacks came on.

In an interview la6t evening withex-Sheriff J. C. Kays, who is a directorof the California bank, he stated thatMr. Witmer had not been identifiedwith the management of the bank foreighteen months past, at which time hewas tiken down with general prostra-tion caused by overwork. He left LosAngeles one year ago on a trip throughArizona, Colorado, Washington andsome of the western states, in the hopeof regaining his health. He returnedhome some six weeks ago bat little im-proved.

There were four additional examina-tions for insanity, and in each case thesufferers were committed to an institu-tion. Their names are Walter F. Ollard,Willis Stove, Max Gebhardt and JohnWoh, the latter a Chinaman.

The Cabman Was Afraid.

Mr. Walter Besant tells the followingstory of a disputed cab fare: "'A friendof mine drove from Piccadilly to someplace in the suburbs outside the radius.On getting down he tendered three shil-lings and sixpence for his fare?this wasa littleover the proper fare. The driverwanted five shillings. The passenger re-fused. 'I'd like to fight you for it,' saidthe driver. 'The very thing!" cried myfriend, who had never in his lifeput ona boxing glove, and was almost as ig-norant as Mr. Pickwick even of the fight-ing attitude. 'The very thing! Capital!We'll have the fight in the back garden,my brother willlook on, hold the stakesand see fair play.' The cabman gotdown slowly.

" 'I was pleased,' continued the nar-rator, 'to discover that he appeared al-most as much afraid as I was myself,perhaps ?if that was possible ? evenmore. He followed into the back gar-

den, where there was a lovely little bitof turf, quite large enough for practicalpurposes. I placed my five shillings inmy brother's hands, took off ray coat andwaistcoat and rolled up my sleeves, allwith an appearance of cheerful alacrity.''Now, my friend,' I said, T am ready assoon as you are.' The anxiety of themoment was, Iconfess, very great. Butit decreased as Iwatched the man's face

express successively all the emotions ofbounce, surprise, doubt, hesitation andabject cowardice. 'No,' he said, 'gimmethe three and six; I know your tricks,both of you. I've been done this waybefore.' And so, grumbling and swear-ing, he drove away."

Orange Land, with Water, $13.75 Per Acre.Special Excursion to Gila Bend, Ariz., Tuesday, Jan. 5,1892.

The Gila Bend Reservoir and irrigation company of Arizona have two hundred and fiftythousand acres of government land under their canal system subject to entry under 'he home-stead or desert land laws which can be secured at ? 13.75 per acre, Including a perpetual waterright of one inch to three acres. These lands are adapted to the r iising of citrus fruits as wellas all other products common to a semi-tropic climate. The special committee of the UnitedStates Senate, report No. 928, part 1, Ma 5, 1890, page 60, after seeing Southern Californiaand all the arid and irrigabl' regions, says of the Gila valley lands:

"Within our border there can not br found a soil so uniformly fkrtilb and socapable of varied production undkt. irrigation as that of the valleys of ths gila, saltand Santa Cruz rivers in Southern and Ckntral Arizona, analysis of this soil showsits fertile qualltie-i to be superior to that of the nile earth "

Over four thousaud acres of this Gila valley land has just been taken up by a colony ofRiverside fruit growers, which is sufficient evidence of its superiority.
