TO INSPECT HOSPITALS.
Dr.. M. c. Mackin Will Investigate
Cases of the Insane,

cases or the insane.
DR.. NJ. G. Mackin of Des Moines has
been appointed by the state board of
control to make visits to the various
county farms where insane people are
quartered, for the purpose of investi-
eating the conditions of the hospitals
and of the patients, and to make rec
concentrations. The Wapello county
farm is one where insane people are
cared for, and the board of supervisors
keep as many as possible there because
the cost to the county is less than
when they are kept in the state insti-
tutions.
Don't Like 1t.
People connected with the county
pello county farm is one of the best
regulated institutions of the kind in
the state, and the poor are well cared
for in one section while the insane are
equally well cared for in another.
Those who are interested say that some
of the reports made in the past have
been unfair, and they fear that should
unfair reports be made by DR.. Mackin
the board of control would move some
or all of the county charges away and
to state institutions, which would
make a heavy drain upon the county
treasury.
Sixty-two county institutions and
four private ones will be visited by him
and among them the Wapello county
poor farm is listed. This inspection
will be of considerable Importance tt
the institutions visited by DIR. Mackin
as, owing to the opening of the new
hospital for the insane at Cherokee
which is expected to occur July 1, The
state is planning to transfer number
of patients to the state institution.

A rumor is afloat in Yerington
and comes from seemingly authen-
tic source, that L. +. Pattison, who
eloped with Daisy Wilson last winter
and married her in Dayton, has come
to grief in the southern country Mr..
Pattison and wife left here last Feb
ruary for Randsburg Cal, and it
seems that a month or two ago a
couple of other women landed in that
camp and both claimed Pattison for
a husband. The report is that they
substantiated their claims. bad Pat
tison arrested, proved that he com
mitted bigamy when he married Miss
Wilson, and that he is now serving
an elght-year sentence in the pen
itentiary 1t is to be hoped for the
sake of Miss Wilson and her parents
and relatives that there is no truth
in the report, although it is more
than likely there is. Miss Wilson is
an estimable young woman, and if she
has been imposed upon by scoun-
drel she is to be pitied rather than
blamed Times.

Struck With an Axe.

There was serious trouble in La
moille valley Thursday night between
one of the Streeter boys and Joe
Hayward From what we have been
able to gather, 1t appears that Hay
ward was at the ranch of either
Randolph or Oscar Streeter when ii
quarrel arose. Hayward had been
cutting wood, but had laid the axe
down, when Streeter picked it up
and struck him over the head with
it. Haywards right eye was knocked
out and laid upon his cheek His
injuries are said to be very serious.

I'VE used to have something like 125
pounds of mail in each time from War
ren's, said Curly" last evening. Il
always whacked up with the dogs,
but I had to carry my grub and other
things on my back, so the dog got most
of the mail. The dogs used to pull
that rawhide up the hills and across
the snow without ever stopping. The
shepherd dog was all right. They
aren't big, but they can do most any
thing, and this dog used to go along
in great shape.
II began carrying the mail last fall
and didn't have any trouble particu-
larry. We built stations Before the
winter started In and kept provisions
there. Then we had our ranch about
halfway between Warren's and Thun-
der mountain. The distance is about
seventy miles. I used to make it into
Thunder mountain from Warren's in
six or seven days and come back In
three or four days. Going in, of course,
the mail was heavier because of tho
papers, but coming back there were
only letters
Curly" is an old Occur d Alene man,
and has been mining and prospecting
ever since he came west. He believes
the entire Thunder mountain region
will become a great camp or group of
camps, but it will take capital to de-
velop it.
