Him Crazy.
The authorities Of Sphinx county
have been called upon to take action
in an unusual case of insanity, the VIC
tim being John Kimball, aged between
thirty and thirty-five years, who came
to South Dakota from Wolford county,
Ill. The parents Of the unfortunato
young man now reside at Chatmer.
Ind. and have been advised Of the
condition Of their son.
hmball was taken before the coun-
ty board Of insanity, and after a care
ful examination, has been declared in
sane. The case developed some
strange vagaries. Kimball talks reas-
onably on general topics, but has the
idea that some time ago he was mar
ried to young society woman residing
at Turton. According to his notion,
the marriage ceremony was perform
ed in the absence of the bride but in
the presence Of the supreme court OF
the state of Illinois, and that special
privilege for this was granted by the
father Of the woman whom he imag-
ines he married, the Catholic service
being used in performing the cere-
mony.
Attention was first attraced to the
mental condition of Kimball by the
fact that he made threats against 9TH
er parties to the effect that if they did
not cease taking his wife to dances
and other entertainments he would
kill both his wife" and those who es-
corted her.

not appeal strongly TO MIR. Hamilton's
western American spirit, as he states
that the English are too slow and con-
servative aud lack the sense Of humor
to such an extent that il makes them
appear ludicrous. The streets OF

ground east Of the gully will be used
for the resort proper. The Olmstead
