Major Edwards came up town Tues
day for the purpose of getting shaved,
sat down in the BARRIERS chair and in
some manner, which he is unable to
explain, wrenched his back and was
compelled to take to his bed again. The
injury is not serious one but will
probably retard his recovery. Mr..
Edwards was rapidly regaining his
original health until the time of this
| accident and his many friends hope
this late misfortune will not long keep
him from their midst.
Thomas Alexander, and Drs. Will
son and Reber met as an insanity
board yesterday and passed upon the
sanity OF one Geo. Engle who put him
self up as a murderer, saying that he
killed a man on Thompson S ranch near
Parkman. Sheriff Lyndes and Justice
Thompson went over there last Friday
to investigate the matter and found
that there was nothing in the report,
but arrested Engle and brought him to
Forsyth. He was adjudged insane by
the insanity board and taken to Warm
Springs.
Otto Kersten of Minneapolis arrived
in Forsyth Saturday evening and took
up his old position as pitcher for the
local base ball fans in their game with
Billings Sunday. It will be remember
ed that Mr.. Kersten was a resident of
Forsyth two years ago and his many
friends here are glad to welcome him
into their midst again. Otto is a good
all-round ball player, and as a pitcher
his equal will be hard to find in
amateur clubs. Forsyth is indeed
fortunate in securing an addition to
their team of such stearling worth.
Bert Thomas of Glendive, who was
the victim of an accident at that place
some time ago, came up to Forsyth
Sunday to witness the ball game and
root for the loca! fans, but Billings
being short one good man Bert was
prevailed upon to help them out,
| although he was in no condition to
play, having just gotten out of bed.
AS result of being out in the hot sun
and exerting himself he was taken
sick before leaving here. His many
friends here hope that his illness will
not be of long duration and that he
will be back making his regular trips
to Forsyth on the local freight in
short time.
A case came up before Justice
Thompson, Wednesday afternoon
wherein one Henry Wenzel was found
guilty of stealing check for S28 80
from Mrs. Jennie Walters of Iona,
Mont. From the evidence brought out
| it seems that Wenzel was passing
through that country on a wheel and
stopped at Mrs. Walters to rest and
became cognizant of the fact that she
had an Endorsed check for a small
amount in the trunk. He Immediately
appropriated the check and went to
Lodge Grass where he cashed same
saying that Mrs. Walters needed some
money and had sent him there to get it,
but instead of returning to the ranch
| with the money he went to Sheridan,
Wyoming, where he bought for himself
| a violin and mandolin. Sheriff Neil
son of Sheridan county received intel
ligence of the check being stolen and a
description of the thief, located him
