this morning by Prosecuting Attorney
Englehart, assisted by Doctors Hill and
Gum, and committed to the asylum at
Medical Lake. Fesl has ranch on the

would frequently find him in the road or
the brush praying, and in this attitude
he would remain for hours. Fesl came

going without proper food aggravated his
disorder and on Wednesday Marshal
Bscker gathered him in. Fesl claims to
hear voices and has lost account of time.

lum tomorrow.
