Insane on the Money Question.

Henry Ober, proprietor of Ober's hotel, was adjudged insane yesterday and ordered sent to the asylum. For some days past Ober has been telling his intimate friends that he had made a deal with Tom Lowry, and by so doing had made some $300,000. With this money he was going to put up a handsome residence and then marry the daughter of a well known citizen. A few days ago he walked into a bank and wanted to get his note for several thousand dollars cashed on the strength of the money he was going to get from Mr. Lowry.
