Hangs Himself to n Tree.

Last Sunday farm hand named Ander-
son, working near Avoca, became demented
and wandered away and although a search
was at once instituted no trace of the miss
ing man could be got. Yesterday Coroner
Jennings received word that Anderson had
been found hanging in an orchard in James
township close to the residence of Super
visor Brandes. The man had committed
suicide by tying his handkerchief round his
neck and then attaching it to low tree
had evidently lifted his feet from the
ground and choked to death. When found
the body was almost in a kneeling position.
Coroner Jennings gave instructions for the
nearest justice of the peace to view the
remains but not to hold an inquest, as he
deemed one unnecessary, it being a plain
case of suicide.

ting along all right. But the ailment has

Still Fighting Over the boundary.

LINEVILLE, Ia, Sept 3O.-(Special.-
When the commission was appointed by the
supreme court of the United States to re-
survey and relocate the boundary line be-
tween the state of Iowa and Missouri at the
disputed point, four miles west Of this place,
it was believed the trouble that had been
Ding on for twenty three years had been
finally settled. Recent developments, how
+, prove that such is not the case.
Howard Moore of Mercer county, Mo-,
ho owns 800 acres on the Missouri border,
and William Mclaughlin of Decatur county,
owa. who have caused all the trouble and
expense to the two states, are at their old
wranging and fighting. The strip Of land,
varying in width from fifteen feet to 200
yards and two miles in length, has been a
greater expense and caused more annoyance
than any other matter of a like nature in
the history of the two states.
The commission relocated and remarked
the old Hendershott- Minor survey of 1851,
made its report to the supreme court, which
was approved December A, 1896, and
discharged. Moore now claims that
Mclaughlin is more than foot over
the border and has ordered him to move
back. The latter insists that his fence is
exactly on the line marked by the commits
sion and doesn't propose to move an inch.

Henry Green, who became insane Thurs
day night and was taken by the police to
St. Bernard's hospital was yesterday COM
mitted on order of the commissioners for
the insane to the asylum at Clarinda. He
will be taken this morning by Sheriff Nor
gan Green lives with his family on North
Broadway near the city limits, where he
conducts a truck garden. In September
he showed signs of mental arrangement
and was committed by the commissioners
to st. Bernard's hospital for observation.
After a few days treatment there his con-
dition was so much improved that on Sep
tember 10 he was ordered discharged. A
few days ago, however, he suffered re-
lapse and commenced to again show signs
of mental weakness. Thursday night his
wife missed him from the house and found
him wandering up and down the garden.
When he perceived his wife coming he ran
around the house. calling to her not to
stop him, that he had to go up to the moon
as the people up there had sent him word
that they wanted him at once. An eA~
animation by DR.. Thomas of the Board OF
Commissioners showed that the mans rea-
son had completely left him and that he
is perfectly imbecile. The unfortunate man
has wife and several small children.
Another case passed upon by the board
yesterday was that of Mrs. Delilah Brown
OF Oakland, against whom an information
charging her with being insane had been
filed by her son, Charles Brown. The board
decided to commit the woman to st. Ber-
nard's hospital, as 1t is thought that with
rest and proper attention she will recover
in due time. Her loss of reason is attrlb-
uted to overwork.
Mary Unanget, the domestic who had n
violent attack of hysteria at the Grand
hotel last Sunday morning and who showed
signs of incpient insanity, was ordered dis
charged from St. Bernards yesterday and
turned over to the custody OF her father,
b. F. Unanget of Everley, Ia, who came
for her yesterday.
