Cause, religious excitement. The medical examination was conducted by Dr. Jones, of Medford. The patient was conveyed to the asylum by Sheriff and Mrs. Orme. To a Mail reporter, Mr. Boor, husband of the above named lady, said his wife had been ill for a long time, in fact she had been an invalid almost from birth, and this, coupled with the fact that he had met with financial reverses, and the further fact that his wife was deaf, and had been so for years, had preyed so upon her mind as to in a measure unbalance it entirely. They have no children. Mrs. Boor is both a mental and physical wreck and one could not look at her without experiencing a feeling of most profound sympathy, yet Mr. Boor is hopeful that the attention and medical administrations which will be given her at the asylum will restore the mind and improve the body.
