Strange Case.

Fargo Forum: A woman giving the
name Of Anna Emmerson was picked
up in front of the high school shortly
after noon today and was later cared
for by the police.

as no one saw the woman fall and she
was unable to give any account Of
herself further than to say her name.
The police brought the woman to the
police station and DR.. Carpenter was
called. The physician. after examining
her, was unable to ascertain what she
was suffering from, but was of the
impression she was attacked by an
epileptic fit.

with pleasing effect by the hundreds
and hundreds of contestants.
Many Of the contestants adopting the
plan Of the winner of last weeks SO re-
