uncanny History of Piece of Ne
brusta Land.


BANCROFT, Neb, Feb. S.-(Special.)-
August Zuhlke, a young farmer who lived
about four miles south Of this place and
owned the farm he lived on, early last
spring became possessed Of the idea that his
friends and nelghbors were trying to get
his property away from him and to reduce
him to poverty. He continued TO brood over
his few debts 10 such an extent that he be-
came insane and after a desperate fight with
him his attendants overpowered him and
took him to West Point where he was ad-
judged insane and taken to Norfolk. His
farm was a short time after rented to Fritz
Hail, a German Of this place, who worked
IL the past summer. During the summer he
at one time became very much overheated
and that affected him in such way that he,
too, became insane a few days ago. He
seemed to realize he was crazy and stated
to his friends that the wheels in his head
did not run right He took up quarters In
the upper part Of the house, where he pro-
posed to remain 100 days without anything
to eat or drink. He barticpded the door by
throwing lot OF grain against II and would
probably have succeeded had not his friend,
taken him of his guard and found him. He
was adjudged insane, but owing to the
crowded condition of the asylum at Nor
folk he is still detained at West Point. The
farm, which was the home Of these two un-
fcrtunates, both OF whom went crazy within
a year, is likely to go without a tenant this
year because of its uncanny history.

wool. At this time last year over 100000
had been advanced to local wool growers

been advanced. All the local sheep COM
