Merry e. Mcdonald,

A passenger who had become insane
was taken off at Dickinson last Mon.
day and taken care of by the county
sheriff till the following day. when
he seemed better and was allowed to
go on. At about 30 miles this side of
Glendive, with train running at 30
miles an hour, he jumped from his
car. 1t was dark and no hunt was
made until Wednesday. The insane
fellow was next seen near Andrews
and when No. 4 came down from the
west Wednesday night the train was
stopped and the conductors and
brakemen all made Il grand CHASE, but
were not feet enough to make the
desired capture. The section men
were ordered out and later in the
evening brought the fellow in, lie
since having been taken to Jail ut
Medora. His name is not known, but
he bought his ticket at st. Paul and
became so much deranged at James
town that it was necessary to keep
him there a day or two, AMI it is
about time that the authorities take
hold Of the matter with some degree
of seriousness.
