REMARKABLE, SAD CASE.
A Beautiful Woman Crazed by Her
Neighbor's Chickens,
INSISTS UPON NUDITY
And Will Probably Perish From Refusal
to Partake of Food and
Drink.

Special to the Globe.
Elk POINT. Dak., Aug. 10.-In a mar
row, grated cell in the county Jail at
this place there Wearily PAGES the floor
or grovels upon the damp stone flag
ging, in perfectly nude condition, the
remnants of a once beautiful women
tender, loving wife, devoted mother
how raving maniac-and driven so
through slight quarrel with neigh
Dor.
Her disheveled iron-gray hair nearly
concealS wan, pinched face which
still has traces of beauty; but the eye
that once beamed with holy mother
love now meets the loving glances of
kindred and friends with the stony
STARE OF VACANCY,
and the loving hands that were wont to
do kindly offices for her happy chill
dren now wildly beat the air as she
frantically screams or piteouSly begs
for food and drink, but of which she
refuses to partake.
She is fifty-three years of age and the
wife of a prominent and wealthy farmer
of McCOOk station, ten miles east of
this city, named Joseph La Farer. He
is the father of three children, and
came to this country four years ago this
summer from near Urbana, O., where
he married his wife some thirty-two
years ago. The woman has never be-
fore shown the slightest indication of
her malady, and MIR. La Farer says that
to the best of his knowledge none of
her people were thus afflicted.
On Tuesday morning, July 81, Mrs.
La Farer arose in apparently her usual
good health, and proceeded to he flower
garden, when she discovered
NEIGHROR'S CHICKENS
in the act of scratching up some rare
plants. She became quite excited and
started for heI neighbours house when
she had some words with the female
members of the family and finally left
for her home in hysterical condition.
At the breakfast table that morning she
became delirious and has been con-
stantly growing worse ever since.
On the morning of Aug. 3 she be-
came very violent, and her friends noti-
fed Sheriff Boree, who placed her in
the county Jail to await the action of a
commission de lunatic0 inquirendo.
Since lying in jail she has refused all
prOffers of food and drink, and in a few
days has wasted away so that she re-
sembleS skeleton more than a living
human being. She offers little or no
violence to her attendants. and none to
herself if allowed to have her own way.
On Saturday last she refused to keep
on her clothing, and was hand-cuffed
by the officials. She Immediately be-
came uncontrollably violent, and by the
physicians orders the irons were re-
moved, and she has ever since been
IN NUDE CONDITION.
She has slept only about two hours
since the 1st inst, and has partaken of
no food or drink, and the physicians,
yUh q ri n
inasmuch as there was no known predis-
position to insanity, claim that it will
be question of but few days before
death comes to her relief.
A commission has pronounced her in
sane. and she will be removed to the
Yahkton asylum the first of next week,
if she does not die before the necessary
amount of red tape can be gone through
with.

FARGO, OAK, Aug. 10.-Once upon
time two very wicked boys caught cat
each, tied their tails together, and hung
them across pole. One cat thought it
was the other cat pulling his tail. Nat
urally fight ensued and was kept up
until naught but tails were left, and
these were so curiously intermingled-
that they appeared like bunch of
mothers gray yarn, but the stuffing was
all fought out and the first gust of wind
blew it away, and neither of the cats
has been heard from since.
This brief and unauthorized story is
not told to amuSe, but to demonstrate

Fargo at the present writing. The two

is known here that Mellette was a
chum of Gresham's while that pompous
individual was postmaster general. He
gave Mellette large share of John B.
Raymond,s patronage, for some occult
reason. And, for some equally OBJ
scure reason, Mellette used it. That is
history. True. it does not make the
warm friends of Raymond feel kindly
atfectioned towards Mellette. but it
is history and must be recorded. The
fact is not generally. known that
Gresham authorized and empowered a
man named Bradshaw to spy upon Third
Assistant Postmaster General HaZen.
But he did. 1t is time to have it known
that afterwards Gresham. stood idly by
and allowed his man Bradshaw to be
Sacrlhced, victim to his loyalty to
Gresham. From personal knowledge of
Gresham your correspondent ventures
the statement that, if Gresham was
president, it would not be surprising If
Mellette and many others of like stand
ing with the Indiana egotist would need
letters of introduction at the White
house. General Harrison is an aristo-
crat and radical Republican: but he is
thorough gentleman. Hence the pre-
dlctIon stands as a good one. If Harri-
son shall be elected president General
Iyner will be governor of Dakota. If
