TWO INSANE CASES.

Mrs. laura Birks, of Timber Creek,
and g. ". short, of st. Anthony,
Before the Commissioner.
Two queer cases Of insanity were be-
fore the board Monday night and this
afternoon, when Mrs. Laura A. Birks,
of Timber Creek township. and 6. ".
Short, respectively, were arraigned and
examined az to their mental conditions.
Mrs. Birks was arrested late Monday
afternoon by Sheriff Shoemaker and
Deputy Hutson at the Ed Putnam
home. in Timber Greek township, where
the woman has been stopping for some
time, and was brought here shortly
afterwards, being arraigned after sup
per. Her case is extremely queer, for
she isyinsane upon only one question
that Of religion.
Early Monday morning Putnam
called upon Justice Burritt and wanted
Mrs. Birks arrested because she refused
to leave his home, where she had taken
up her abode without an invitation.
The justice informed Putnam that he
could nothing in case of that kind,
and II the woman was really insane, as
he claimed, the only thing for him to
do was to apprise the commissioners OF
the facts and allow them to act as they
saw At. Mrs. Birks will be remembered
as the woman who figured in the ex-
itremely sensational Turner Birks slan-
der suit, filed in the district court last
summer. She settled the case by the
payment of 81 900. which she said was
the Lord $ money, and the Lord had adj
vised her topay 1t. Mrs. Birks halluci-
nation is that her affairs are personally
directed by the Lord, and when she ap-
peared at the Putnam home she in
formed the family that the Lord had
sent her to them.
The commissioners did not fully de-
termine to send the woman to the asy-
lum and recommended guardian. Mrs.
Birks would listen to no name in this
connection but that OF Sheriff Shoe
maker and he was appointed She is
possessed of considerable wealth and ii
is thought that perhaps she can be
cared for here by friends at her own ex-
pense under the proper direction of the
guardian. For the present or proba-
bly, a week, she will be domiciled at the
sheriffs home. Mrs. Birks is 63 years
of age.
G. v. Short, the other case, was
brought to the city this afternoon al
1:35 from ST. Anthony by Rev. j. NJ
Plumb. pastor of the Methodist church
of st. Anthony, who. it appears. is the
only person in whom Short has any
confidence. or who can control him
Short is IS years of age and lives with
his daughter Mrs. John Bryant. one
mile west of st. Anthony. He has beer
falling iii body ana mind for severa
years and now is possessed Of practically
no mind at all. He has always beer
considered harmless, but of late ha.
shown a tendency to have a mania fo
killing his daughters family with a,

HER DIVORCE
Happy Ending Of Celebrated Moore
Goodrich Will Case Occurs in
Court Today.
Mrs Moore Granted . Divorce From
Her Husband, - Prayed-sis-
tiers Reunited.
Settlement Of the Smith Estate N ade
as First Arranged, Prior to Suit
Court Doinga

The happy and amicable ending OF a
long drawn out legal battle over fam
lily financial matters was made this
morning in the district court, when
Judge Burnham granted the divorce
asked by Mrs. Minnie L. Moore. of
State Center, from her husband. George
E. Moore. The petition was filed for
the April term of court, but the case
was not reached and it went over to
the special June term, which began this
morning at 9 o'clock. Habitual drunk
fenness was the charge on which the
divorce was asked, and the testimony
of the witnesses went 20 show conclu-
sively that it was not without foun-
dation. Mrs. Moore appeared in court
in person and was accompanied by her
brother-in-law. Mr.. L. H. Goodrich, Of
State Center, who acted as one Of her
witnesses.
Between the sisters. Mrs. Goodrich
and Mrs. Moore, the question OF the
settlement of the somewhat famous
case over the w. L. Smith estate is at
an end. The case has been fought by
both sides with great deal Of tenacity
owing to. the large amount involved,
between $4,000 and $4,000. Judge
Burnham will make the order regard
ing the disposition of the costs in
Cured and there will be no appeal
taken by Mrs Moore, who excepted to
the ruling Of the court in favor OF Mr..
and Mrs. Goodrich at the close of the
April term. The final settlement,
therefore, will be approved by the
court identically as it was made by the
sisters themselves prior to the begin
ming Of the suit
In the divorce granted Mrs. Moore,
she asked that her husband be granted
no equity in her property at State Gem
ter which is owned in her own name,
and that was granted also.
The most unfortunate part of the en-
| tire case, as regards Mrs. Moore. is that
she has spent in the neighborhood of
$4,000 in prosecution. attorneys fees,
and other costs incidental to the affair.
Mrs. Moore's friends claim that the
money was spent unwillingly. and that
| the influence Of Mr. Moore was respon-
sible for the expenditure.
| Considerable other minor matterswere
1 disposed of at the morning session, in
lcluding the hearing of minor reports
and the confirming of the guardianship
of Mrs. Laura A. Birks. The wills of j.
~. Bailey and W. H. Hilsabeck We're adj
nlitted to probate and two cases of the
4 Frudden Lumber Company We're heard.
\ Court Will probably be in session

companied her husband to the city and
will be the guest Of her many friends
