Reno Evening Gazette, 8/14/1901
Sent to the Asylum.
Harry Freeman, a young man who has lived here nearly all his life, was examined last evening by Doctors Gibson and Hogan before County Clerk Julien and adjudged insane. He was committed to the asylum.
The unfortunate fellow seems to be more weak minded than insane, but it was thought best to put him in a place where he could receive proper treatment.
