further light on that Sss5.OOO sale of a
paper railroad to the Metropolitan Sc

While no authoritative explanation OF
the transaction has been given out In this

The Herald can well felicitate Itself on

the brightest editorially. a paper that
can attain such distinction in a year is

not surprising that the paper has made

gone to Chicago to remain until after the

the principal reason for his early de-

He does not know one fruit disease

CANNOT SEND INSANE
MEN TO HOME STATES

Judge Sullivan, of Spokane. has de-

the return of insane patients to the
state where they belong, does not per-
NIT the judge to do anything but COM
nit the patient to the asylum in his
jurisdiction.
The case came up Tuesday in the
commitment Of Gilbert Gunnsson. A
short time ago Gunnison arrived in
Spokane on the Northern Pacific from
st. Paul. The conductor of the train
on which the demented man had trans
pOrtation wired the sheriff to appear
at the depot and take charge OF the
prisoner.
The man was taken in custody ad-
judged insane and ordered deported to
st. Paul. Tuesday Judge Sullivan de
cided the law did not justify sucn u
ruling and ordered the man sent to
Medical Lake.
