The Third Case in>two
Weeks
IN ,BoTTINEAU co.
They were Brought before the Insanity
Board and were Taken by Sher-
iff Gardner to the James,
: town Asylum.

On Monday morning Philip Loiselle
brought in his son George. little boy
about years old, who has been living
with his parents at Russell, N. D.
Some time ago the little fellow was
kicked in the face with a COW. and
previously he had received a blow in
the head in some way or other. Two
years ago however, he had an attack
of epilepsy and then scarlet fever,
which left bad symptoms of insanity
behind. For the past six months he
has not spoken at all. and there is
every probability that he is deaf. He
was brought before the board of insan-
ity on Monday, and adjudged insane
and was consequently committed to
the Jamestown Asylum. It is very
unfortunate case in the extreme, and
the parents have the commiseration
of the people of Bottineau County.

The Third Case.

The third case of insanity within
three weeks occurred on Tuesday. Mrs.
Bertha Barlow a woman 33 years of
age who came to this County some few
years ago from Norway. was brought
here from Glenburn. N. D. About
four weeks ago, she had severe attack
of melancholia, which left her with
the fear that her neighbors were bent
tn destroying her life by fire. Every
now and again she would break out
with this dread and fear declareing
that they were about to take her
life. For the past two or three weeks
she has refused to enter into conversa-
ton with anyone, except as to express
her desire for the safety of he1 child
rem. She did nothing but sit still all
day long in melancholy stupor and
refused to talk or work.
She has had child who has been
deaf and dumb. and this has given a
great deal of care and worry. No
other disease or Cause can be found as
a reason for her pitiable condition.
She was brought before the board of
insanity on Tuesday and committed to
the Jamestown Asylum on Wednesday
morning. She leaves behind her
family of five children, and the fam.
lily is most assuredly in need of our
sympathy, which they certainly have

YELLOW fever SPREADING.
Large Increase in Number Of New
Cases at New Orleans.


New Orleans, Aug. 3.-With large
increase in the number of new cases
during the past twenty-four hours the
fever situation. was not as favorable
during the day as it had been, though
the health authorities believe the con-
finement of the serious infection to
the quarter below Canal street is an
encouraging sign. President Souchon
was of the opinion that the intense
heat, followed by severe rain and
thunder storm, bringing cooler tenn
perature, was to some extent RESPONSE
BILE for the increase in the cases. How
ever, in spite of the most rigid inspec-
past, concealed cases among the Ital-
ians are here and there cropping out
and the authorities in consequence are
appealing to the Italian organizations
to redouble their efforts to convince
their countrymen that 1t is to their in
terest as we'll as to the interest of the
whole city that there shall be imme-
diate report of all suspicious cases.
Up to noon there had been six deaths
from yellow fever, making the total
deaths to date seventy-feur.
So apprehensive are people in the
country towns that they will be bot
tied up by the report of suspicious
cases in their midst that many Of the
town councils are meeting to pass Or
dinances imposing severe penalties on
persons who circulate reports calcu-
lated to cause unnecessary excitement
or alarm.

ESTRAY LAW
The Laws are More Rigid than in
Previous Years.

It is now the time of year when es-
tray animals are being taken up and
advertised but it is safe to say that
not one in ten are advertised properly
for the reason that the change made
in the law by the last legislature is
not known by the public. Under the
new law person taking up an estray
must within ten days do three things:
First. he must publish notice of the
taking up of the estray in some news
paper in the county; second. he must
file the description with the county
auditor within ten days and, third,
he must mail description to the
commissioner of agriculture and
labor at Bismarck by registered mail
within ten days.
The proof Of publication and the
receipt for the registered letter must
be filed with the county auditor be-
fore appraisers will be appointed to
appraise the animal.
Any person who takes up an es-
tray and fails to advertise the same,
or fails to file the description with
the county auditor or fails to send
the description to the commissioner Of
agriculture and labor according to the
law is guilty of misdemeanor
which is punishable by imprison-
ment in the county Jail not exceed
ing one year or by a fine not exceed,
ing $500, or by both such fine and
imprisonment, and in addition there
to is liable for all damages caused to
the owner by neglecting to advertise
the same.

Yellow Fever South.

New Orleans, Aug. 3.-The yellow
fever situation in the South is not so
favorable, high temperatures and
heavy rains in New Orleans, the center
of infection, not only producing unfa.
vorable climatic conditions but undo
ing much that had been accomplished
in the past twenty-four hours in the
way of oiling cutters. cisterns and
ponds anE causing this work to be
done over. The authorities have conf
dence in their ability to control the
situation and the developments of the
past twenty-four hours, they maintain,
were nothing more than was to be ex-
pected in the progress of the plague.
Passenger and freight traffic on the
railroads in and out of New Orleans is
practically paralyzed. All suburban
service to coast towns was discontin-
ued week ago and almost daily the
railways have been dropping one or
more trains until the service on most
of the lines is at its minimum.
There were no developments during
the day in the controversy over the al
legged invasion of Louisiana by Missis-
sippi troops guarding the frontier, e~-
cept the announcement from Jackson
that Governor Vardaman had decided
to govpersonally to the scene and in
vestigate the conditions for himself.
The governor acted on receipt of
telegram of complaint from Governor
Blanchard. Before leaving Jackson
Governor Vardaman said he desired to
make no statement until his investiga-
tion of the matter had been finished.
Mobile has. frightened its protective
Gordon and has ordered, in addition 10
disinfection, a detention of five days
for all boats coming from Central and
South American ports.

kansas and Texas, has ordered dis
continuance of all trains between

peared, and Texarkana.
