Mikee Alexander, one of our larg
est boys, was taken ill in February
and lifter a few weeks of indisposition
developed occasional mania, which
made it necessary to watch him care
fully. especially :.t the time of the
attacks. Dr. Siiverman frequently
visited him and nothing was left un
done but the trouble im leased until
it was unsafe to keep him where
there .ire so many children. A jury
impaneled by Judge Kelsey found
his case suited to an asylum and
Marshall Bowers took him to Port
land, Ore., on the june “Portland”.
Mikee is a large, muscular hoy
about seventeen years old, and dur
ing the year he lias been with us has
given no trouble, but showed himself
a willing student and worker. We
trust he may be able to return after
a course of treatment at the asylum.
