to become very harsh and dry. and to

Sheriff Donnelly Laid Up.
AL Foster Of Sheridan county, who
has manifested evidences of insanity for
some time past, was confined in the
county jail yesterday morning, to await
an examination by the commissioners of
insanity this morning at 10 o'clock, and
Sheriff Donnelly thinks perhaps that
thereby hangs a considerable tale.
Foster was in town several days ago,
purchased some groceries and then
started home, arriving at the French
farm at about nightfall. He asked for
supper and while it was being prepared
he disappeared. Since his disappearance
he has been acting mysteriously at sew.
eral places about the country, and on
Monday evening he was captured near
the Garfield place and brought to the
city.
Yesterday afternoon Sheriff Donnelly
received a warrant for one Pickle, who
lives north OF the city, and whose sanity
is doubted, and in company with James
Mcpherson the sheriff started to serve
the warrant. Before the start, however,
the sheriff asked Mcpherson to aid him
in taking from Foster a knife which he
had in his possession. Upon approach
ing Foster and asking for the knife, the
sheriff was refused and accordingly he
proceeded to use force. In the struggle
Mcpherson received a slight scratch on
the hand, and the sheriff received a cash
over an inch deep and several inches
long in the under part of the right thigh.
He staid with his man until he secured
the knife, and then he was taken to the
office of DIR. Porter, where ten stitches
we're taken in the cut. Mr.. DonnelIy
lost a considerable mt unit of blood, but
with several days of rest he will come
around all right.
