WAS HE INsANEe
Last Friday morning about s o'clock
our little town was aroused fom its
usual tranquility by the report that n
man had been lost off the 2:40 passen-
ger train, going west. He had ticket
for Devils Lake Dakota, and was last
seen on the train at Norris, and was
missed by the conductor somewhere
near Herman. A little later engine
No. 10. came up from Morris. with a
party and ran to Herman expecting
to find his remains near the track.
While they were between Donnelly
and Herman, the Moose Island section
crew came to Donnelly bringing with
them brown stiff hat with conductors
trip ticket, punched, and sticking in
the band. They had found the hat in
a cut, one and half miles west from
Donnelly.
About nine o'clock, Harry Donnelly
came into town and reported that
about daylight that morning, a man
came to their house and wanted the
family to cook HIM some breakfast Of
fering to pay them for their trouble.
He was bareheaded and covered W tin
dust and mud and was bleeding from
a wound in the head. He said some
passengers OH the train had robbed
him and he had jumped from the
train, rather than loose all the money
he had. AS it was very early and the
man looked suspicious Mr.. Donnelly
told him he had better walk oHeg town
about q mile distalnt. But he said she
was afraid to 60 near town, as there
were people there with blood hounds
trying to catch him. At last he left
the Donnelly's and walked over in
the direction of John Rorhbacks, q
mile distant, but on comihtg pear the
house the dogs began to bark at him
and he hid away in the high grass.
Shortly after they watched him make
a long detour and turning west he
walked over in the direction of Hans
Curate's farm. At ten o'clock two
teams of our citizens started in search

that the man had been there and
Citrate had little talk with him. He
told about the same story as that at
