Police Incur Ill-Will of an
Insane Woman.
SAYS SHE WILL HAUNT THEM
Charges That They Are Attempting to
Kill Her; Unfortunate Mind Is
Unbalanced Over Religion.
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
Sophia Dahl, the servant girl at the
Clifton House who went insane ten
days ago was taken to her home at
Revere by her brother and Deputy
Sheriff G. G. Phillips, returned a day
. or two ago, and put in her appear
ance at the Clifton House, still men,
| tally unbalanced
Her presence at the hotel was re-
ported to the police yesterday after
noon, with the request that she be
taken away. Chief Osten replied that
he would have no authority to lock
her up without a complaint being
made. She left the hotel later in the
day and this fact was reported to both
the police and sheriff The police
looked for her and about ten o'clock
received a telephone message from Min
nesota street saying that u strange
acting woman was walking over the
back yards there. An officer went
and got her. She claimed that she
was waiting for a young man to
come and take her out riding. She
was kept at the police station last
night, but not locked up, and Judge
of Probate Hughes directed that a
woman be hired to remain with her,
and this was done.
Wrath of God on Police
This morning Miss Dahl was ex-
r,inaI 70 conftr onA
ordered committed to the asylum at
St. Peter, and Chief Osten took her
there. Her home is iH Redwood coun-
ty, having come there in July, 1906,
and to Mankato in May last. Her
father is a farmer. She has a hallu-
cination that she is near to God and
that the police have tried to kill her
with poison and a pistol, but she says
that the Lord will kill the police
and the doctors for calling her crazy.
She says that the police think that
she is crazy because she reads the
Bible. She went out in the rain yes
terday to be near God. Her mania is
religious one, and she has no rational
intervals.
1t appears that last evening the
sheriff was asked to take charge of
the woman but declined to do so
without commitment papers, as she is
not resident of this county and the
women cells at the Jail are full, and
both corridors in the mems depart
ment occupied. He states that if he
had been informed that a charge
would be preferred against the woman
this morning he would have taken
her, although not supposed or required
to receive anybody without commit
ment.

MANKATO FAIR WINS PRAISE
Amboy Herald Says Everybody Was
Well Pleased

FROM FrlQay y Ddliy.
Amboy Herald: Much to our re-
greet circumstances prevented us from
attending the Mankato fair last week
but we have interviewed many of the
100 who left this port by train and
have yet to hear anything but praise
for the event. The grounds were
hardly recognized as the place where
fair was held last year, so great were
the improvements made. Circum-
stances favored the large attendance,
which on the second day was 6,429.
In the first place it was well adver-
tised and everything promised was
fulfilled. The weather was decidedly
on its best behavior. The managers
have shown good judgment and COM
mendable zeal in giving the public
the kind of fair they like. The Man
kato fair has now passed the expert
mental stage and is to be per-
manent institution, bigger and better
each succeeding year.
ST. Peter Herald: The second an
|nual Mankato fair, which was held
last Thursday, Friday and Saturday,
was great success On two of the
days the weather conditions were not
of the best, but in spite of this handi-
cap the attendance was very large,
there being over $500 paid admis-
sions on Friday. The officers of the
Mankato society gave the people a
good show. The exhibits of livestock,
poultry and agricultural products were
good, and the displays of the bust
ness men in Floral hall particularly
commendable. Good racing programs
were put on each day, and the sue
cess that was scored would indicate
that the society is going to build up
one of the best county fairs in the
state.

Sixty Political Women in Prison.

New York.-Mmme. Maria De Ruiz
Sandoval of Mexico, whose husband.
General Francisco Sandoval. is now
with the army of Guatemala. an
nounces that she has received a letter
from her sister. Isobel De Ruiz. resi-
dent of the City of Mexico. stating that
she, with about sixty other Mexican
women of high degree had all been i'm
prisoned there on the charge of at
tempting to incite revolution.
The sister says the women are all
confined in small, dirty cells in Belen
prison and that they are treated as
common felons. The prisoners are not
allowed to see anyone and a trial has
SO far been denied them. Appeals to
President Diaz, the writer says, have
been of no avail and she hopes that
some of the people in the United
States will call attention to the unjust
treatment melted out to them.
Sonora De Ruiz writes further that
the story of the arrests has been kept
from the newspapers of Mexico and
that through friend she made ir.
prison she was able to smuggle out the
letter to her sister.
