Sheriff Rider arrested a man Mon
day morning nearSwanville who was
driving a heard of cattle from Aitkin
to some town in South Dakota. He
was arrested on two charges, one
preferred by Joseph Doucette, ol
Belle Prairie, charging him with
petit larceny for having driven OFF a
heifer belonging tu the latter. The
other charge was grand larceny, pre-
terred by Leander Bellefeuille, also OF
Belle Prairie, he claiming that three
head OF his cattle were taken as the
nerd passed through that place.
The cattle were found in the herd
and identified by the owners. The
defendant was first tried on the
charge of petit larceny and ac-
quilted, the justice not being
satisfied beyond Il doubt OF the
defendants intention of committing
crime. The herd was over a
hundred in number, and ii there
was not q count taken quite often it
would be easy for several strange
cattle to be taken along quite a dis
lance before they were discovered, if
discovered at all. The man claims
to have lost a number of head since
he left Aitkin. The trial of the de-
PENDANT on the second and more
serious charge was commenced i'm
mediately after his acquittal OF the
first. and resulted in his being
bound over to the grand jury OF the
fall term of the district court.
The evidence against him was
somewhat stronger than in The case
of petit larceny for which he was
tried and acquitted before the grand
larceny case was taken up.
Heturnished the required bond and
left on the Tuesday morning train
over the Little Falls & Dakota road
to overtake his herd ofcattle, now on
it's way to South Dakota. 1t is now
in the vicinity of Sank Center.

From Tuesdays Daily.
A telephone message was received
by Judge of Probate Richardson
from Rich Prairie this morning stat
ing that james Robinson had gone
insane. MIR. Richardson telephOned
for Deputy Sheriff Crest. who il at
Rich Prairie today. to bring Robin
son to this city on his return.
Robinson was in this city Il few days
ago, having just returned from the
Rum river drive where he had been
at work. No one in this city can
account for this misfortune that has
hefallen him.
Observation-Disclosures was brought to
this city by Deputy Sheriff Crest and
is being examined in the probate
court this afternoon to determine as
to his sanity. 1t is evident that he
is dcInented, from the strange, dis
connected stories he tells. lie has
some very strange Authorizations.
and to hear him tell about the many
runaway teams he met on the road
to this place, and the men sawed
out of boards and painted white
pursuing him. shows plainly the
the pitiablr condition OF his mind.
Robinson has been a hard drinker
furSrv"ral years past, and his trouble
may have began from that source.

Sent to the Asylum.

From Wednesdays Daily.
James Robinson. who Tuesday
afternoon was examined in Probate
court as to his sanity, was adjudscd
insane and committed to the Fergus
Falls asylum. 1t was at first
thought that as his demented cen
litiun was due in a large measure to
heavy drinking that with Il few
days. medical treatment he would
recover. 1t was also thought that
some Of his friends could be found to
take care, of him for Il few days. No
one was found WhN would undertake
the task, and as he became some
what violent, imagining that parties
in this city were furnishing money
to have him arrested and other
absurd fancies. it was thought best
to send him to the Fergus Falls
asylum where he could receive
proper care and medical treatment.
Sheriff Rider took him to the asylum
last night. 1t is thought that his
drmenteu condition is only tempo
rarv and that with proper treat
mrnt he will soon recover.

John Sitzman, recorder of the
village OF PierZ, was in the city Mon
day. Mr.. Sitzman says that thcpeo-
pie there have come to thccOnclusiOn
that it would be best for them to
got an experienced man to place the
I'ic1z water works in running order
again, and it is probable that a man
from Chicago will be sent for to do
the work. The explosion which oc-
clrrcd there few days ago did
considerable damage to the building.
They arc considering Il plan OF build
ing a large tank, for the reason that
the wells from which the water is
pumped will only furnish water for
about u half hours pumping. The
scheme is to build a 900 barrel tank,
at an elevation of about twenty feet
from the ground, on the site of the
present pumping station. which is
considerably higher than the village.
and this will assist the engine in
furnishing pressure. With Il tank
they would also be able to furnish
water for domestic purposes. TO
get their plant to work satisinc-
torily, the total cost is estimated
at $4,000.

\ QUEER ATTACHMENT.

Queen Elizabeth Of Roumania Falls in Love
With AN Actress aad Creates Consterna-
ton in the Court.
New York. February 1.-THE Berlin
correspondent Of the Journal cables
that paper the following:
The latest sensational piece Of gossip
is that Queen Elizabeth, OF Roumania,
who is known in poetic fame as
Carmen sylvia" has again formed a
mysterious attachment similar to the
one which threatened several years
ago, to disrupt the domestic peace Of
the royal household.
1t will be remembered that at that
time the Queens infatuation for one
of her court ladies, Helen Varesco, i'm
PEELED her TO seek TO force the King S
nephew, the heir-presumptiye, into q
marriage with the lady.
The result was a separation between
the royal couple. and for while the
King seriously contemplated securing
q divorce. Tn time however, the breach
was healed
Now Carmen sylvia is entirely wrap
ped mp in admiration of an actress,
Agathe Barsecu, who entered public
life early in the SOS, in Berlin, under
L'Arronge She is trasedienne
The Barsecu was born in Roumania,
and was az one time engaged to be
married TO Joseph Kainz, the celebra-
ted actor After the engagement was
broken off. she went to Vienna and
Buda-Pesth. where she met with great
success.
Queen Elizabeth has been showering
gifts uDOn the actress and is almost
all the time in her company.
Ii is said that ,he King is Highly in
censed, and that it is not unlikely that
unless the Queen behaves with more
discretion q new separation and ban
ishment of the Queen may follow.

going out of fashion. They will be
worn in velvet. sill. and satin. they will

let the fashion go by for long time.
