Mrs. Bluesky Sent Back to Insane
Hospital at Fergus Falls.
At hearing in probate court yesterday
morning Mrs. Bluesky was declared to
be insane and was ordered committed to
the hospital at Fergus Falls. Deputy
Grewar left yesterday afternoon to take
her to the hospital, being accompanied
by Mrs. Kate Frost.
This is the 1econd time that Mrs.
Bluesky's mental troubles have brought
her under the care of the law. She was
committed from Lake county several
years ago, being discharged on parole
about two years ago. Her mental con-
ditlon was natural until about two
weeks ago, when she again became
insane. She roamed about for several
days, terrorizing women and children by
her warllke rnaneuvers, until finally, last
Friday evening, Sheriff Carhart took
her into his custody. The hearing Was
delayed until yesterday awaiting the
return of DR.. Houston, the presence of a
doctor being required by law.
During her incarceration she played
havoc with everything destructible in
her apartments in the county jail and
seemed to take keen delight in doing So

THE STEAMER HESPER LOST.
She Struck a Reef Outside Beaver
BdV.

Two Harbo1s Iron News.-The wooden
steamer Hesper, owned by Chris Grover,
of Cleveland, Wednesday morning be-
tween 300 and 400 o'clock, struck reef
about 60 rods off the island at Beaver
Bay and is total loss. The crew took
TO the yawls, that of the captain making
landing on the island, and the mates
reaching the main land, both without &C.
cident. No one on board had time to
save any of their effects. A bowling
northeaster was blowing along at sixty
mile gait, and the sea was running high.
The atmosphere was thick with rain and
fog. The vessel broke in two immedi-
ately after striking, and went to pieces
The stern remained fast to the rocks un-
til about II: 90 o'clock, and then was en-
quilted. She was in command of Capt,
G. II. Heaton, of Cleveland, who, in COM
pany with Chief Engineer Smith, started
for here yesterday afoot, arriving last
night. The balance of the crew re-
NAMED at Beaver Bay. The services of
the tug Edna G.. were sought to 60 after
them, but it not being an emergency
case, and her presence here being neces-
sary, she could not be sent.
The Hesper cleared from Hougbton
for Duluth May 2nd. The master sup
posed his vessel on its course until she
struck, and had no intimatlon of his
perilous location. The reef struck is the
same on which the Tampa was wrecked
several years ago, and is one of the most
treacherous spots on the shore.
The Hesper was one of the best known
vessels on the Great Lakes. She came
out in 1890 with Capt. Fred Rae in COM
mand, and took her maiden cargo from
this port. She was $50 feet long. She
was valued at about $4,000. She was
owned up to a week or SO ago by G. H.
Bradley. The casualty strikes the Of

The council has ordered necessary re-
pairs to be made on sidewalks and new
ones to be constructed according to res
olutlons heretofore adopted. This
means the building at an early date of
the sidewalk along st. Paul avenue, a
badly needed improvement and one that
will be especially appreciated by resi-
dents along the avenue as we'll as by
patrons of the court house.
The Herald publishes this week the
laws passed at the last session of the
legislature. This official publication
shows to have been erroneous the infor-
nation upon which was based the state
ment made in these columns last week
that Cook county receives $500 for road
and bridge purposes. We fare consid-
erably better than that. The appropria-
tion for this county was $500 instead of
$500.
An important ruling was recently
handed down by the federal court rela-
tive to the standing of Indians claiming
the rights and privileges of citizenship.
Official information is not at hand, but
it appears that by this decision 1t is
held that Indians who have Withdrawn
from the government payroll possess all
tho liberties enjoyed by other citizens of
the United States. The decision was
upon an appeal from conviction of
selling whiskey to Indians, and it is held
to be no offense to furnish whiskey to
Indians who have Withdrawn from the
payroll.
