John Erickson Will Be Sent
to Asylum at Fergus Falls
for Treatment.

Crookston Journal: John
Erickson who was brought over
from East Grand Forks last even
ing was brought up before Judge
of Probate Thoreson this morn
ing and will be sent to Fergus
Falls to take the treatment at
that place. The r. G. Forks
CHEF Of police, George Brown
and Paul Hogan neighboring
farmer arrived in the city this
morning as witnesses. The
patient was a we'll appearing
young man and seems very level
headed this morning, but he ad-
mits that he is the prey Of insane
Authorizations. He stated to the
judge that in his mind he had
heard music and seen men who
we're looking for him when his
companions told him that there
were none near. He has never
been violent but is addicted to
the inveterate use of snuff and
somewhat to the use of liquor
from which two causes it appears
that he has become insane. Mr..
Erickson once took the Kelley
cure. His relatives had advised
that he be senJ to the institution
at Fergus. The patient is a
resident of Hennipin county and
that administration is held liable
for bis care.

The dyphtheria scare in Be

reported to the board of health
has been cared for and at the

In all there we're eight cases, but
each was promptly reported to

prompt action and prevented the
spread of the disease and snufed
out in the bud what might have
resulted in a serious epidemic.

COMMITTEE FEARS PALISADES DEFEAT
Supporters Of Carpenter-Wainwright Bill
Cannot Understand Opposition

The supporters OF the Carpe1ter- yVairvvrgr- hin
designed TO enlarge the powers OF the Interstate
Pahsade Park Commission TO enable that BODY 70
extend the Palisades Park from its present tar
minus at Piermont, y. Z, 70 the state rssar-
walton at Stony Point. say that unless some enec-
tive action can be taken in the near future the Cd
position IN the Senate again Will result in the de-
feat Of this important measure.
To those who champion the pa ssage OF -ha Car
penter- \" ainwright bill as a purely public measure
The unexpected opposition which for the first time
manifested itself within the last two weeks in the
Senate was greae surprise It first became known
20 the Senate committee which introduced the
measure in the Senate that there would be any
opposition when a well known upstate Senator
said: I hear that this Palisades bill OF yours is
being pushed by a lot OF rich men. who are gOfu.
10 put up the money to buy the extra land II that
is so. let US see the color Of their money. Per
sonaly, oppose the bill, unless they are ready and
willing to deposit their money in the state treasury
and prove their good faith"
To Senator Carpenter this statement came as a
declaration Of In the Assembly this bill
which was introduced by Senator Wainwright has
not excited any particular opposition. Those who
would hold Up the philanthrOpists who are willing
TO undertake the task OF buying the desired lands
have evidently not enlisted any OF the members OF
the legislature in their cause. The bill has not
been reported by the Assembly committee as vet
but there is reason to believe that IL will not
Be reported. unless there arises in the Assembly
opposition similar TO that which has manifested
itself in the higher body.
On behalf OF those who urge the passage OF the
Carpenter-Wanwright bin II is said that not an
Individual will profit by tie extension OF the Pail
sades Park IN any particular. The work OF the
Interstate Palisades Park Commission during the
several years OF It's existence has been ourrous and
without reward. The men who accepted member
ship in this board We're actuated by public spirit
only, and have fought good fight against great
odds. Despite these facts the commission urges the
passage OF the Carpenter Wainwright bill i'm order
that the plan Of establishing the next greatest
public park 20 that OF the Yellowstone be realized
While realizing fully the need Of awakening pub
lie interest In the enterprise by publishing their
plans in full. the members Of the commission have
RETAINED from doing so for the reason that thew
knew that the publication Of details must inevlta-
bly, bring upon them the opposition of the element
