A Boise dispatch to tho Salt Lake
Tribune states that Firs, Lieutenant
Virgil Brun back OF the First Infantry.
United States Army, has become
mentally dersnged and has hidden
himself in the icy wilds of Kootena al
county, northern Idaho. The young
officers story is a sad one. He was
appointed to the West Point Military
Academy from Idaho in 1877? and
graduated j" 1881. He vas a brig ht
student and quite an athlete. A few
years ago as the result of a slight al.
tercation with fellow officer at Omaha
he was reprimanded by courtmar.ial,
a circumstance that deeply affected
him. He became melancholy and
stunned the company of his friends.
Last summer he obtained six months
leave OF absence. Instead Of coming
to Boise where his wealthy parents
reside, the unfortunate young officer
went into the northern wilderness and
constructed q dugous in which, far
beyond the pale Of civilization, he has
since resided. A short time ago
