BELIEVES HE is A SHEEP.
Fourteen-Year-Od Herder Becomes
Insane and Walks Sixty Miles.


Insane and Walks Sixty Miles.
Only fourteen years old and insane
from sheep herding, believing that he
is a sheep and is being chased and
hunted, is the plight of a son of Jo-
seph Jupiter a sheep owner, whose
ranch is about sixty miles northwest
of Fort Pierre. The boy left home
with the terror of pursuit and walked
or ran all the way into Fort Pierre,
where he was taken charge OF. His
father missed him short time after
he left home and started to hunt him
up, finally tracing him to Fort Pierre,
where he arrived some time after the
son had been taken care of. A hearing
of the county insanity board will be
held on the case, with the chances in
Yavor of the child being sent to the
insane asylum. Insanity is a fate
which often overtakes the herders
who are out alone with the sheep for
long time, but it has never before
been known to affect one so young as
in this case.

Loss Of appetite, coated tongue, bad
taste in the mouth, heavy dull headache
and a dull, sluggish feeling these are
the symptoms of stomach trouble They
indicate that the stomach is on q strike;
that it is no longer furnishing to tho
blood the full quota of nourishment that
the body demands, hence every organ
suffers. Ms
There are two methods Of treatment,
the old one by which the stomach is
humored by the use OF predigested foods
and artificial ferments, and the new ono
by which the stomach is toned up to do
the work which nature intended of it.
A recent cure by the tonic treatment is
that of Mrs. Mary Stackpole, of 81
Liberty street, Lowell, Mass. She says:
Il suffered constantly for years from
stomach trouble and terrible backaches

These wonderful pills are useful in a
wide range of diseases such as Armenia,
rheumatism, sciatica, neuralgia, nervous
headaches, and even locomotor ataxia
and partial paraly sis.
The great value Of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills lies in the fact that they actually
make new blood and this carries health
and strength to every portion Of the
body. The stomach is toned up, the
nerves are strengthened, every organ is
stimulated to do its work.

SOFT MUD SAVES BOY.
Lad Falls Into Forty-Foot Well, but is
Uniniured


Perry, the little son of Frank
Shuck, prominent ranchman resid-
ing in the western part Of Lyman
county, fell into an empty well forty
feet deep, and had it not been for the
soft mud at the bottom he probably
would have been seriously hl'rt, If not
killed. The plight of the boy was dis
covered by his mother, who gave the
alarm and summoned to the scene a
number of men working in the vicin-
ity. James Barb, member of the
crew, with some difficulty was low
cred to the bottom of the well and
brought the little fellow to the sur
face. Fortunately the we'll did not
have much water in 1t, only enough at
the bottom to make liquid mud,
with which the boy was covered. He
was found to be wholly uninjured.
