Barrett Insane.

The Insanity Board met in
Judge Duell's Office Friday after
noon to decide upon the insanity
Of w. w. Barrett. Dr.. Ruger
made his report of examination
and several witnesses of Mr..
Barrett's late actions were called.
Erik Mellem and Oscar Soberg,
who work on Mr.. Barrett's farm,
were examined, and gave testi-
mony which proved conclusively
that Mr.. Barrett has been out of
his mind of late. During his con-
fnement in the jail, Mr.. Barrett'a
condition has been growing worse.
The Board decided that the best
thing to do would be to send him
to the state asylm. He left on the
afternoon train accompanied by
his son, George Barrett. MI.
Barrett has the sympathy Of the
whole community and Of the en-
tire state, and we hope for his re-
covery. For several years Mr..
Barrett has filed the Office Of
State Superintendent of Irrigation
and Forestry, and he has been
recognized as most highly quail
fed for that position. He has
conducted the Office in an able and
conscientious manner; it has beer
through his interchangeable efforts
that the Office has become Of such
great Importance. MI Barrett

means of sealed bids and SO it was
decided to dispose of the privi-
by auction. A large crowd
of bidders for the different open
ings and interested spectators col
lected in MI. Makers office and
the privileges we're disposed Of as
follows:
Secretary LaRue first called for
bids for "Bread and bakers sup
plies" But little interest was
evinced for this privilege, and j..
B. Martin cornered it for $40.
The laundry privilege was given
to j. 1. Wampler, consideration
"Check stand for bicycles, etc."
brought forth but few bids and
was disposed of to Geo. Welsh,
for $l2.
The bidding for barn and livery
privileges was lively and holly
contested. Adam Winters and
M. b. Lynes were after the privi-
lege, but Mr. Lynes came out
victor after he had run the bid up
to $106.
The next bid called for was for
ice cream and soda fountain pri-
vileges. Adam Winters, Mayor
Brown and Senator Creel each
realized what a veritable bonanza
this line of business would prove
to- be, and the controversy was
VERY spirited, Col. Creel finally
capturing the prize for $50.
j.. A. Fairbanks received the
peanut and popcorn privilege for
The disposal Of store privileges
was the most important of all.
This privilege was holly contested
for by both S T.. Wineman and
f. P. Mann. Fred Mann finally
secured it by a bid of $500.
This ended the proceedings, as
all the privileges had been secured.
Contracts were entered into be-
tween the association and the sue
cessful bidders Tuesday. The
directors feel much relieved at the
disposal of the privileges and the
easy and satisfactory manner in
which they were let.
