Taken to Cherokee Asylum.


Sibley, March 4.-The people of our
town were shocked yesterday by the
news that Lee Person, son of Dairyman
+. II. Person, living at the north edge
Of town, was mentally deranged. He
was taken before the board of insan-
ity, who declared him a subject for
commitment to the Cherokee asylum
for treatment. He is said to have
been afflicted with melancholia and IA
desire to run away, and had to be
watched very closely for some time.
He has been unable to sleep of late
and seemed to be growing gradually
worse; hence 1t was deemed advisable
to send him to the hospital for treat
ment. 1t is thought that he overtaxed
his mind while attending the Ames
College two years ago. He has always
been a boy of good habits and seemed
to be bright and happy. 1t is to be hoped
that treatment at the hospital will he
the means of bringing him back to
his normal condition.

Buffalo, March 4.--E'rank Mosher, a
farmer living about mile below Buff
falo caught n large gray fox yesterday
afternoon In q very peculiar manner.
Mr.. Mosher was working near his
home when he noticed large flock OF
crows circling about over II nearby
field The birds were cawing loudly
and seemed to be greatly excited. Mr.,
Mosher thinking their actions were
somewhat unusual started to investi-
gate the cause Of the connection.
Followed by his trusty dog the far
mer hurried to the scene of the ex-
element and upon arriving ut the field
was surprised to see that the cause OF
the agitation was u large gray FOX.
whose actions betrayed the fact that
he was not a little frightened.
Mo3her's dog soon scented Mr.. Rey-
nard and started In pursuit. The fox
, ran into an adjacent field closely fol-
lowed by his pursuer. The dog was
rapidly gaining when the hunted one.
according to Mr.. Mosher reached a
small willow tree and hastily scram-
blcd out OF reach.
The farmer arrived shortly after
wards and having also become inter-
ested In the chase shook the fox from
the tree. The frightened animal fell
in snow drift. and in a moment the
dog was upon him. Reynard's agility
saved him again. however. and he
darted across the field into meadow.
His advantage was short lived, how
ever. for the dog followed at his best
speed and gained at 81 rate that made
the heart of the fox sink within him.
When the dog was almost upon him a
second time Reynard realizing that his
case was hopeless turned and ran back
across the field towards Mr. Mosher,
who was following. His hope for hu-
man protection was ill-founded. how
ever. for the farmer refused to inter-
tfere and the chase continued around
and around him until the bushy tail
dragged on the ground and the jumps
became shorter and shorter. At last
the dog with mighty bound crushed
the plucky little animal to the earth,
Before he could do further damage
Mr.. Mosher rushed to the rescue and
caught the fox up III his arms. He
was too exhausted even to struggle for
release and the farmer carried him
home and placed him in box.
Last night Mr.. Mosher brought his
captive to Buffalo. where he was the
object of much curiosity He Is the
first fox seen In this locality for about
ten years and for this reason and be-
cause Of the strange manner of his
capture Mr.. Mosher values him very
highly
