that he could not come to any definite con-
clusion from his first one and he still
thought she was insane The other two
members, A T. Fcknger and County Clerk
Reed were willing to grant that she might
be cranky on one or two points, bun did not
consider her insane. They outvoted Thomas.
and she was discharged She still remains
in jail, however, to await the decision of the
United States commissioner on the case now
pending there.
The case of John p Farris, the Macedonia
man who abused and terrified his wife, was
also disposed Of He has been In St. Ber-
nard's hospital for the past week, in order
that the commissioners might examine into

fnement and he, too, was ordered dis

Mrs. Ella Wilson, wife Of Isaac Wilson, who
belonged to the Thirty third Wisconsin in
fantry during the war. She lived in Froken
Bow, Neb, for four years, up 10 ABOUT two
months ago, when she came to Council
Bluffs and put up at the Mergsn hotel. She
brought with her all her belongings, which
consisted Of a trunkful of clothes and s25 in
cash. Shortly after she went to the hotel
her trunk was broken into during her alb
sence and the money was stolen She ac-
cused the landlady, Mrs. Peterson, of the
theft, and Mrs. Peterson put her cut CT the
house. She went to Supervisor Watts, and
he took her to Omaha, since she WAS suffer-
ing from infiammatory rheumatism. She was
in hospital for a time and tells a sensa-
tional and not very probable story Of her
treatment there as a reason for returning to
Council Bluffs.
Yesterday morning Supervisor Watts took
her back to Omaha, believing that she came
under the jurisdiction of the authorities
there inasmuch as she has not been In
Iowa long enough to acquire a residence.
The commissioners refused to allow her trunk
to be landed in Omaha, but threatened the
arrest OF the expressman If he did not return
to Iowa at once. They then put Mrs. Wilson
on an eastbound motor and she was landed
in Council Bluffs again. The matter was put
In the hands of some of the members OF Abe
Lincoln post, who will try to have 1t deter
minsd to which state she must look for
