Sunday morning, an old man named Oval Anderson, a dane, was found hung to a tree near the residence of Judge Edmondson. He had evidently been in earnest, as his knees were but a few inches from the ground and he had thrown himself on the rope with all his weight. He had shown symptoms of insanity for several days.
