in Sioux City for the past year and a

and was evidently out of his head, as
he talked most wildly, and it is feared
by some that he may have permanently
lost his mind. His family in Sioux City
were telegraphed to for instructions and
Mrs. Howe desired him sent home but

who know Mr. Howe speak of him in the
highest terms, both in regard to his hab-
it's and industry and all hope that he
may soon recover his health.
