2O. q: Ferring has property at
Grass ' Lake, located about a couple of
miles south Of Willmar, on which is a
Peat bed that he %belives should be
thoroughly Investigated and that has
Prospects of: furnishing a large
:emotnt of the material from which the
new nov kind of fuel can be manufactured.
There are at least 500 acres of the
pest On Mr.. Ferring's property and
llle he zisS 2 aturally quite anxious for q
thorough y 81 examination.
For E. some time Mr.. Ferring has
been b, studying the peat question and
taking the matter up with experts in
different parts of the. country. S. H.
5Belcher, of Minneapolis, who is con-
nected with the Michigan Peat Co. OF
.Eelatin Rapids, Mich, and the
Northern Peat Co. of Minneapolis,
5and who is one Of the recognized peat
experts of the country, has been in
nrscity conferring with Mr.. Ferring
"a regard to the matter. MIR. Belcher
secured a quantity Of the stuff from
the peat bed, digging down a few feet,
and has taken it to the city for a
thorough examination. He gives it
tas his opinion that there is. an
unlimited amount of peat in the
vicinity and that Willmar business
men should take the necessary steps
for the development of the property.
Bernard T. Sitz, of Norwood, is
another gentleman who is interested in
the matter and is so enthusiastic that
he desires to invest here if a peat
factory is opened
W. Business men are now being
interviewed as to the feasibility OF
opening peat factory here and are
given an opportunity to take hold of the
matter. The proposition is to dispose
of the majority of the stock at home
and have the enterprise managed by
Wilmer capital. AS an experimen mt
it is suggested that sum be raised
for equipping q plant on q small scale
for the purpose Of demonstrating the
possible advantages of the new fuel,
which it is claimed has proven thru
tests to be far superior to coal in
many respects. When properly man.
ufactured peat is cheaper than all
other fuel, and the new substitute
would be gladly welcomed. Develop.
ments in the matter will be awaited
With interest. The matter will be laid
before the Commercial Club at ar
early date. -,

Another sad case of insanity was
before the probate court on Monday,
when Mrs. Lena Baumann, of Holland,
wife of Julius Baumann and the mo-
ther of six children, the youngest a
child of 4 years, was examined and
also committed to the Fergus Falls
hospital. The examiners in lunacy
were DR.. D. J. Mcmahon of Raymond
and DR.. E. S. Frost of this city.
Thecause of the unfortunatew
mental arrangement is attributed to
matters of religion, the first symptoms
being manifested the first of June in
religious melancholy. She believed
that she had been cursed by God, and
she was possessed of very strong re-
ligious Impressions. Altho the pa
tient had exhibited no violence, her
actions at different times indicated a
tendency TO- commit suicide. It was
necessary for: her to ~ be constantly
watched for the past three. or four
months. She is As years Of age and
is spoken Of as very hardworking
woman, which may in measure have
caused her breakdown. She was
taken to Fergus Falls the same after
noon in charge of her husband and

W1IIMAR, MINNESOTA, WEDNESDAY JANUARY
A RAytNC MANIAC
Such Is the Sad State Of Erlck Olson
Of Fahlun, Who Is comnltted to
Hospital for insane.

The worst case of insanity which
Judge Nordin has presided over dur
ing his term of Office was that which
was brought before him last Friday.
afternoon, the unfortunate victim of
lunacy being Erick Olson, a married
man 30 years old, residing in town of
Fahlun.
Olson's case was of such a violent
nature that it took at least three strong
men to hold him in check. and he re-
quired constant watching for fear he
would do some one bodily harm or
exhibit his violence upon some piece
OF furniture. The first symptoms of
his attack manifested themselves on
Thursday by religious rawlings. He
had frequent delusions, at which times
he showed a disposition to injure
others. The patient would talk in
coherently, scream and sing, showing
thathe was violently maniacal. The ex-
amining physicians were Drs. G. John
son and Harold Frost, who declared
the man a fit subject for the hospital
for the insane at Fergus Falls. He
was taken there in the evening in the
custody OF Sheriff Lundquist, assist
ed by Deputy Malmberg and Jonas
Lundquist.
The disease seems to be hereditary.
Only a few weeks ago sister, Mrs.
Anna Johnson, was committed from
East Lake Lillian. Their father and
