The probate court was occupied Monday with the case of Frank Girbarch, of Saline township, a young man 28 years old, whose father, Jacob Girbarch, desired him committed to St. Joseph's Retreat at Dearborn for treatment. The young man is considered, by his family, not to be mentally right and his condition has become such that his family consider him dangerous.

The physicians made a careful examination of the young man, spending considerable time in questioning him about his work, his home life, etc. Judge Watkins likewise questioned him. It was the opinion of the physicians that he was in a mental condition rendering it dangerous for him to go at large. He was accordingly committed to St. Joseph's Retreat as a private patient.
