MRS. NELSON OF QU|RING
COMMITTED TO ASYLUM
Unfortunate Woman Broods Over Death
OF Child Until She Loses Her
Mind:

Mrs. Mary E. Nelson, residing
at Curing postofice in this county,
was brought down from her home
this morning by Thos. Dooher,
accompanied by Mrs. Nelson's sis
ter, Mrs. Catherine McCue, and
taken before Judge Clark at ten
o'clock this forenoon to be adjudged
as to her sanity. After due consider
alton she was committed to the hos
pital for the insane at Fergus Falls
and taken there this afternoon on the
$50 train whers she will receive
treatment.
Mrs. Nelson's insanity has not
taken on very violent form, as vet,
but her nervous system is badly
shattered. She seemed to know
nothing of her surroundings; she
talked necessarily and coherantly
and laughs and cries without the
least cause.
The cause of her trouble seems to
be due to the death Of a child recent
ly, and since which time her nerves
have constantly grown weaker until
the final breakdown.
Mrs. Nelson is SO years old and
has three children living. Her
husband is a bartender at Baudette.
The unfortunate lady is slightly deaf
being left so from scarlet fever when
. child. She was affected fof Z time
with insanity when in Canada some
ten or twelve years ago, but it was
not thought Of q serious nature then.

FARMER" AL. JESTER HAS
WONDERFUL SOIL AT FARM
Charles Decker Tells of Some Farming Results that Will
Be Handed Down to Posterity as Being Truly Mar
velous Agricultural Feats

Developing into thirty-third
degree farmer from a dyed-in-wool
commercial traveller with an envi-
able reputation for efficiency would
at first thought appear to be almost
an impossibility.
However, this is what has occurred
in the case of A. H. Jester, who
left the road" last spring to spend
the summer months at his home on
Lake Plantagnet, six miles south of
Bemidji.
Mr.. Jester has christened his
place The Farm" and the several
acres bordering on the lake which
he owns constitute one of the finest
small summer resorts in this north
country, where there are so many
beautiful spots.
Besides being a good church men,
Der, Mr.. Jester (who is Familiarity
known as AL" among his friends)
is one of the most prominent Elks in
the state, and he is always planning
something for the good of 1852 of
Bemidji, the baby lodge of the state.
Recently he invited the members
of the Elks quartette at Crookston
and several Bemidji brethren to
make an over-Sunday visit at The
Farm" and accept the unbounded
hospitality of Farmer" Jester.
Those who received invitations
accepted the same, and had a very
enjoyable time. The party was
amazed at the wonder Mr.. Jester had
obtained by tilling the soil, among
the number being Charles L. Decker
exalted ruler of the Bemidii lodge of
-Elks, who says of the visit to the
Jester farm: b.
Never saw anything to equal the
wonderful fertility of the soil out at
APs place.
why, when Al had passed around
the cigars, I asked him for match,
and was inclined to think him 'dafy'
when he told me to 20 out in the
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1907-09-23

garden and pick all l wanted How
ever, l went where he designated,
and, would you believe it. I found
growing half an acre of the finest
parlor matches l ever saw; in fact,
they had grown so thick when first
planted that Al, good old soul, had
been compelled to dig them up and
in replanting, had been compelled to
SOW toothpicks with the matches to
prevent them setting fire to the
place from friction, while growing so
closely together, when they ripened
and got the full round head for
which the Diamond variety are
famed.
oh, there's great soil, out at Al's.
Al told me an instance which,
coming from anyone but an elder in
the chnrch, like Jester is, 1 would
doubt. 1t illustrated the wonderful
productiveness of the soil.
Al had a family from Missouri
spending the summer with him.
They insisted on having no boards
on the floor of the cabin simply
sod. The woman used to sit with
one limb crossed over the other
when she rocked the baby.
Jester solemonly asserts that the
leg which came in contact with that
wonderful soil couldn't resist grow
ing, and before the couple left for
their home, the leg was four inches
longer than its mate.
rand, almost I forgot to state it,
that man and his wife had to cut the
grass on the floor of that cabin
twice day, in order to find the
baby, grass grew so fast. >-.z---
al will have some of his agri-
cultural exhibits at the fair. And
