Such Is the Finding OF the Commh
sion Before Which he Appeared. z
FARGO, N. D., Special Telegram,
The insanity commission, after a two
weeks session, has announced the follow
ing as Mr. Fulton's condition: First, great
bodily weakness, nervous prostration, and
absence of vital force; second, change in
his physical and mental habits and charac-
ter, showing deterioration, has occurred
during the last year; third, that his acts in
his official capacity as postmaster at Cassel-
ton present so many instance of incon-
sistencies as to lead us to grave doubts as to
his soundness of mind; fourth, We deem it
for the best interest of the pa
tent and the state, and we do
hereby find that said patient should have
immediate medical treatment for his pres
ent deranged system and condition. Fifth,
not finding any evidence of violence on his
part, we find that said patient might be
treated, as aforesaid outside of the hospital
for the insane for special time, and it such
treatment should not result in q cure or
improvement of his said condition, then it
is our best judgment that he should there
upon be sent to the hospital for the insane
for treatment therein. DIR. barrow, mem
Der of the board, reports he believes him
insane and should be confined to the
asylum. Fulton was arraigned on the ad-
ditional charges and bound over to the
United States court. He made no effort to
obtain bail. His case will probably come
up at Bismarck next week.

Peculiar Case of Two Children Of a

Peculiar Case Of Two Children of a
Prominent Kansas Farmer.
WICHITA, Kan, Special. An inexplicable
case of insanity is that of Simeon and Rose
Boilen, son and daughter of wealthy
farmer near Derby, who arrived here to-day
from Dodge City in charge of the sheriff. A
week ago Rose left home for California.
Three days later word reached the parents
that she was i'll at Ell Paso, Tex, and her
brother Simeon was sent after her. Moth
ing more was heard of them until yester-
day, when the sheriff received message
from Dodge City saying the pair
were violently insane. Simeon arrived
in shackles, and his sisters face
and eyes were black and swollen and her
neck horribly gashed where her brother had
struck her and cut her. The two were Put
off a train at Dodge City Tuesday and
handed over to the marshal. Not realizing
how violent they were, the office failed to
handcutf his prisoners. In a few minutes
bedlam was turned loose in the neighbor-
hood, and it took large posse to recapture
the Boilens. They were placed in the same
room, but were left for a moment, when
the shriekS of the girl brought rescuing
party. On the floor lay the sister, her
brother beating and choking her and goug-
ing her neck with a sharp iron. The whole
affair is mysterious. In his more lucid in
tervals Simeon claims that they were
drugged.

spent his money lavishly on this woman
When Lis own funds ran out he began his
speculations, which he succeeded in con-
cealing for several months. About three
months ago he decided that it was not safe
orshim to remain any longer in the states,
and taking the woman with him he
started South, intending to 90 to Central
America. On his way TO New Orleans he
stopped at Natehez, Miss, and cashed

Pinkerton force followed the fugitives, and
on Saturday last nabbed his man at

Smith showed an inclination to remain
in Canada and fight any legal proceedings
that might be brought against him. Hence

arrangements were made to arrest Smith
and hold him for extradition. Before this
action was taken, however, Smith agreed to
go on with the detective without further
trouble. Smith has spent nearly all his ILL

SPAIN ASAREPUBLIC
Predictions That Freedoms
Standard Will Float Over
Another Monarchy.
Hon. Sam J. Randall Passes
Peacefully Away at His
Washington Home.

LONDON, Special.--There is little doubt
that the present Spanish cabinet will be
overthrown shortly-before the July recess
assuredly. The GOODNESS and elaboration
with which the leaders of the Republican
party are acting, and the subordination of
the rank and file, give hope of revolution
as complete and bloodless as that in which
the Brazilian monarch was deposed. There
are no signs fgeneral rioting by preconcert
nor is there any promise of threatening
pronunciamento, but there is a calm con-
spicuousness of strength underlying all the
republican movements that shows pro-
found belief that the people are with them
en- masse. For the past year legislation and
the force of public opinion have strength
ened civic force in 5pain, to the anger and
dismaV of the military officers of the
old school. These latter have remon-
strated with the crown, and several
of them have resigned in consequence of
the replies which they received. Two ex-
marshals at least have put their property
into portable shape and are prepared for
exile when the storm bursts. The conf
dence of the workingmen may be judged by
the fact that they have put the day for their
grand demonstration at Barcelona so far
ahead as May, as if to show that nothing
hurried or violent is intended. AT
or about the same time the vote
upc~ the universal suffrage bill be
reached unless something unforeseen
induces its promoters or adherents to force
the question upon the country before that
time. Sagasta will be ousted from the pre-
miership-so much appears to be settled
and, although Canovas Del Castillo is con-
fidently spoken of as his successor. Martinez
Campos will probably be selected to fill the
place ii the objection to a military man can
be overcome. Singularly enough, in some
parts of Spain it is believed that the royal
infant died of his attack of influenza, and
that pretender is being foisted upon the
Spanish people
