CRAZY MAN AT LARGE
Unfortunate Person Is Roaminu
About NicoIiet County.

From Mondays Daily.
The police department received a re-
port Saturday evening from Jesse Keene
OF Hebron that crazy person was run
ming loose about his farm The descrip-
ton given was similar to one given by
Mason Hynson about a week ago. 1t
seems that the unfortunate man has an
idea that he is chasing down band
of robbers. He is short, heavy set and
has not had a shave for about two
weeks.
No one seems to be able to identify
the man. An effort to locate his abid.
ing place has proved futile.
The Free Press was informed by Mr..
Keene this morning that the man has
been in that vicinity since last We'd
nesday, stopping at various places, and
was seen frequently yesterday. He was
given lodging at the Keene home on
Friday night and during his stay there
wanted to convey the impression that
he was detective. He probably is an
escaped inmate of the st. Peter hospital
for the insane.

Honolulu, Dec. lS.-A milk pipe line
was used to feed about $50 babies on
| the British steamer Suveric, which ar
rived here Saturday from the Azores.
The Portuguese are noted for their
large families and out of the ,525 i'm
migrants that arrived by the vessel, a
large number were children, many of
them small ones. The captain is quoted
as saying that he had a hose strung
along the deck and fitted with $50 nip
pies. Then milk was pumped through
the hose and with young Portuguese
baby at the end of each nipple, the
youngsters got fat and healthy.

Judge Cray today filed decision in
the divorce case of Lydia Engelbrecht
VS.. Carl II. Engelbrecht, which was tried
a day or two ago. He finds as matters
of fact that the plaintiff is twentyfour
years of age, and the defendant thirty
one, and that they were married in this
city March Is, 1898. Ore child, Harry,
aged seven years, is the result of the
union. The family resided i'll Manlato
and Fort Dodge, Iowa, and at the latter
place on Jan. l, 1904 the defendant de-
serted the plaintiff. Having carried out
this New Years resolution as he ought
to have done with better resolutions, he
never returned to his young wife or as
sisted in her support. The court conse-
gently grants the divorce and gives the
wife the custody of the boy.

The planting of trout in the high

sport viii flourish in the mountain
streams. The latest sections to be
stocked are Paradise Valley. adjacent
to Kings River canyon, the Truckee
Basin and in sequoia and General
Grant national parks, TuIare County.
The Eastern brook and rainbow
trout are the species that have been
transplanted, the former in the more
turbulent watercourses and the latter
in the small, calm tributaries. Good
success attended the shipments, the
distributors having profited from ex-
perience so that the loss in transit
was very small.
Climbing to the beautiful Paradise
valley with 10000 fry was the most
difficult undertaking the commission
has yet had to deal with. The fish
were transported nearly 500 miles by
rail to Sanger, then hauled in wagons
for fourteen hours, after which they
were transferred to pack animal cans
and carried on the backs of horses for

striking example or the good work is

salmon was begun, the output was in
creased from 100000 pounds year to
100000. In the same time the steel
