A hearing to determine the sanity or insanity of Mrs. Anna M. Magner will be held this afternoon.  As Mrs. Magner's physical condition will not permit of her being brought to the probate court room, the hearing will be conducted at her home in Centerville township.

In the probate court Mrs. Anna M. Magner was declared insane last Friday.  She will probably be committed to the state hospital at Osawatomie some time next week.  On account of the physical condition of the patient, the hearing was conducted at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Henry Dunham, northwest of Galesburg, where Mrs. Magner had been staying.  Dr. L. D. Haynes of Erie and Dr. Thompson of Galesburg composed the commission.


Personal Note:  Mrs. Magner was diagnosed with melancholia.  The dictionary definition for melancholia, a mental condition characterized by great depression of spirits and gloomy forebodings.
