The Oregonian April 24, 1893
Three commitments of insanity were made by County Judge Moreland Saturday, 
Otto Meinhold, he German who became insane over religion, was sent to the 
asylum. He talks incessantly about some one who, he says, was killed by eating 
boiled eggs. Catherine Dower, 79 years old, was also declared insane. She is 
very violent and restraint had to be used. The cause of her malady is not 
known. A young lady, whose parents live on the East side, was the third person 
committed. Upon examination, it was round about 12 years ago she was 
vaccinated, and impure vaccine virus was used. Immediately afterward she was 
troubled with face eeruptions, and was subsequently seized with severe 
illness. Her mind commenced to weaken, and in a few years she was reduced to a 
condition of idiocy.
