Mention has several times been made
in those accounts of the half-Wltted-
ncss Of Epes. Perhaps a short history OF
his characteristics and the causes leadlns
thereto may be of interest, not only TO
the readers of The Times. but to those
scientists who make OF EIeaN-n'nueaness
a study.
An Investigation Of the past life anu
reculiarities Of Epes brings out tie fol
lowing:
During his youth and UP to his arrival
at the age of young manhood, Epes was
not unlike others OF Lis race IN GeHoral
characteristics. His father says OF hin
that he was more frugal than the gene
rality, and had q keen sense OF business.
He worked, and to quite an extent saved
his earnings. This is true of his present
clara cteristics, as only q few days pre-
yious to his arrest he went to q msGls-
t-ate 10 get a contract drawn binding ms
father to certain obligations made In
cidenta!ly. he claims-and there seems
foundation for it-that his father is cue
him for much of the purchase money Tor
the farm upon which The father resides.
When about eighteen or twenty years
cId-he is now twenty-six-tle was Ell
aged to clean out a we'll for farmer
in the -neighborhood. While engaged in
this he was overcome by foul gas in the
bottom of the well. He remained in the
well in this condition, report says, for
about two hours. He was finally extrl-
Gated by getting a rope caught around
his neck, or body, and drawn to the sur
face. He finally regained consciousness,
and to all outward appearance, was the
same as before.
After a. while, however, it was discov-
erred that he was not the same. His
temper was always fairly good, and this
seems not to have been disturbed. But a
failure to remember places, dates and in
| cidents seems to have taken hold on HIM
| This, so far as it is able to ascertain, IS
about the only defect developed.
In questioning different people as to the
features of his 1lalf-wittedness, each USED
similar illustration in describing It, al
| though each was questioned separately
In one instance a gentleman, for whom
he worked at intervals, said: have
had him to maui fence-rails for me. He
v ould come to the house, leaving his
maui ana wedges in the woods, forgetting
where he left them, spending some time
liz the search. !"
Another one said II have had him to

cff his coat. lay It down. and forget
where he. left It.. At one time he spent
two days looking for his coat on a neigh

The following letter is taken from
the Union Signal:
PROHIBITION IN NORTH DAKOTA.
Editor Union Signal:
Twelve years have passed
since the prohibitory law (both con-.
stitutional and statutory became
operative in North Dakota. The ex-
perimental age has terminated. We
are beginning to enjoy the fruits of
our labors. Even those parts CT the
state where the law was openly vio-
lated are beginning to submit to the
mandates of the statutes.
I have recently received letters from
all the judges of the state, both SUI
preme and district; from our members
of congress and several leading jour
ualists and citizens, regarding the
success of the law in their part of the
state. A composite statement of their
views, in substance, is that middle and
eastern and most thickly settled por-
tions, the law is well enforced; that
in the western and more sparsely set
tied districts, obedience to law has
been tardy, but is now coming rapidly;
that consumption of liquor has de-
creased; the morals of the people are
better; crime is lessened; the effect up
on the young is especially salutary;
farmers are receiving special benefit IN
not having the open saloon at which
their employees can congregate on
rainy days; and the prosperity of the
people is generally noted.
| Fortunately the constitutional pro-
vision prevents those changes from
one system to another, which so often
renders impossible a thorough test of
any system.
The state is filling up very rapidly
from all parts Of the union. 1t is yet
too early to calculate what influence
these new citizens will have upon the
law. The friends of the law feel very
much encouraged by the evident pub
lie sentiment in favor of its retention,
coming from all parts of the state.
CHAs. A. POLLOCK,
Judge I'd Judicial District.
The recent deplorable collapse Of
Rev. Sam Small, in Vermont, from
