DEAD UNKNOWN.
Identity of man Sent to Asylum
Absolutely Un-
known.
Spent His Time in Silent Prayer and
Never Uttered a
Sound.
Death of an Old Time Resident
at Plano at a Ripe
Age.

Grand Forks Herald: Some time
the latter part of June man was ar
rested by the police of this city on ac-
count OF his crazy actions. When first
noticed he was wandering about the
back alleys, and on the afternoon OF
his arrest had been followed for several
hours, and was caught eating pieces OF
bread and meat from the swill barrels
at the rear Of kitchens. He was ar
rested and taken to the county jail,
and after few days was examined by
the county board Of insanity and COM
mitted to the asylum at Jamestown.
The case was one Of the most remark
able which has ever come to the atten-
tiOn OF the insanity board or any OF
the physicians of Grand Forks or at
the asylum at jamestown, from the
fact that from the time Of his arrest
till the day he died in the asylum,
Aug. Is, he never spoke a word. Ap-
parently he understood what was said
to him, but seemed utterly Indifferent
to everything. He refused to eat any
thing aside from bread and waiter,
and appeared ito spend much Of his
time in silent prayer, moving his lips
but uttering no sound. When he was
arrested he was in an awful condition
being nothing but skin and bones, and
improved but little in this respect till
the time of his death.
His identity is a mystery. There
was nothing found on his person that
would give the least clue as to who he
was or where he came from, and when
asked regarding this matter he would
simply smile, and at times far away
expression would be noticed in his
eyes, as though he was thinking of
some distant land. He was not violent
at any time, and was obedient, doing
whatever he was told to do without
protest. He dressed himself without
aid and kept his person clean at all
times. Judge Hassell has received
notice from DR.. Moore of the James
town hospital that the unfortunate
man was taken sick on Aug. y and
died Aug. Is and was buried on the
day following. While he was at the
asylum every known means was resort
ed to to get the man to utter a sound
but all was in vain, and he died and
was buried unknown to anyone. and
all hopes of establishing his identity
have been abandoned. He was ap-
parentlya Scandinavian, smooth faced,
light complected and about 50 years Of
age.

i:inot Laud Office.

A few years ago the Minot lana
office did SO light a business the ices
OF the office were not enough TO make
it worth keeping and now home
stead entries are being made at the
OF several hundred a month and there
is d long line of land seekers in front
OF the Office when itopens every morn
ing, awaiting their opportunity to get
free government land. No section of
the state has developed more in
the past year or two than that in
Ward county, and along the Mouse
river.

nephews to start in mixed farming
and stock raising. Theland which he
bought from Mr.. Dwyer is situated
about miles from Windsor in range

Ciezynski has the best of recommends
tions from the business men of Wells
and is highly regarded as a pastor of
a fourishing church. His becoming
actively interested in the county will,
no doubt result in benefit in number
of ways.

Only Partial.

The Palladium says the reform
movement in Bismarck is but partial
1t says there are certain blindpigs un.
molested by the authorities and that
house of ill repute is allowed to
flourish right in the residence district.
The Palladium claims the reform move
was instituted for political strategy
and no other purpose and that the
fellows who voted right have not been
molested. The Palladium dishes out
some hot stuff.

Great tree Growth.

Q. Fl. Will: The trees planted
along the Northern Pacific right of
way have done well this year. On

seven feet this season, and trees which
were planted from fifteen to thirty
inches in height are now from six to
ten feet tall. One tree we noted. that
had made a growth of forty-fve feet
in shoots this season.

NEW SET OF BOOKS.
One VIII Be Kept For Delin-
quent Tax Sales.

Arrangements have been made by the
county clerk and county treasurer TO
keep a special set or books for redemp-
tions Of property bought in by the
county at delinquent tax sale. BY keep
ing such d set of books, it Will be possi.
BILE to pay over to the various funds of
the city the proportion due as soon as
the property is redeemed instead of
waiting as at present for the annual
settlement between the county treasurer
and county clerk.
It is believed that this new arrange
ment viii largely ObV1ate the trouble
which has been brewing between the
city and county over the payment Of
delinquent taxes.
p. /. Bonebrake and Edward Wilder,
representing the board of education.
called upon the county commissioners
recently. and Investigated the claims
which the board has on the delinquent
tax fund. They found that there is not
a very large amount due, and that
whatever is due viii be paid on October
1, when the annual settlement occurs.
Mr.. BCnebrake, however, is not an ad-
vocate of the present system of ham
ding the delinquent tax business. He
said today:
1.-The law permitting the county to
buy IN property was passed by a Pop
ulist legislature in 1891. 1t is a bad law.
1t was never enforced in this county
till a year OF two ago. l tried to per-
suade the county commissioners to
abandon the plan, but Scott Kelsey
seems to think it is all right. The eff.
feet OF the law may be to reduce the
county resources till the county is
Obliged to pay interest on its warrants.
This has happened in several counties.
II the property is sold to private pur-
chasers, the money comes at once into
the county treasury, and is diverted in
to the proper channels
The board of education will not take
any action against the county commits
sioners, but will simply await the dis
tribution of the funds on hand on Oc-
