INSANE man RIDES Cow

! Cakes Times: Carrot Van Def1ie
was adjudged insane by the county
board of insanity Monday and in the
afternoon was taken by Deputy Sher
if Huffman and Arthur Rapp to the
state hospital at Jamestown.
1t is not known where Van Defiie is
from. He appeared in Cakes the lat
ter part of last week, and had been
performing all kinds of queer pTanks.
One morning after his appearance in
this city he was found by Frank Fos-
ter in the barnyard of H. J. Johnson
Land and Cattle company west of
the city. When Frank went there in
the morning to do the chores, found
Van straddle of COW and made it
out that he was breaking broncho.
He said he owned the place, had just
bought it the day before, and all the
horses and cattle over there were now
his. He was waiting for the men to
go to work and wondered why they
did not show up. After the chores
were done Frank induced the man to
come up town with him, and he was
turned into the hands of Deputy
Sheriff Huffman for safe keeping.
At the corner of the Ferris Harness
company in his mind he took posses
sion of a rig standing there, and auc
toned it Off in becoming style for SAB
to the amusement of those who wit
messed it. He cut several harmless
pranks before it was realized that the
man was "daffy" His place of resi-
I3dence could not be learned for Ger
tain. One time he would maintain
he was from South Dakota, and the
next he would be from Minnesota
but more especially his home was
| where he hung his hat"

I'OOkEBATH With
HIS AFFINITY

Philadelphia, July 1S.-When Mrs.
Frederick Rumford, said to be a resi-
dent of this city, found her husband in
room of Gloucester City boat
house with a female companion last
night, she mixed things up so lively
that it was only by taking flying
leap from a second-story window that
the objects of her fury escaped with
their, lives
Mrs. Rumford arrived in Gloucester
late, and after a long search located
her husband. The boat house was
locked, but a ladder was brought into
use, and Mrs. Rumford lost no time
in ascending to the window.
Fell Through Window.
When she peered in the window
Mrs. Rumford awher husband and
his affinity in the room, and so
anxious was she to get inside that
she fell headlong through the window
She quickly got to her feet, seized
bed slat and belabored her husband
and the woman numerically. The
noise soon had Boathouse Row in an
uproar, and the residents made a>rush
to find out the cause of the disturb
ance. Their suspense was not of long
duration. Rumford and his affinity
came pell nell through the window
| into their midst.
Although Rumford and the othel
! woman were scantily clad, they los
no time in making tracks for safet!
into the heart of Gloucester. Mrs
Rumford stirred up the police tt
chase them, but found that the pai
had fed to Philadelphia, Rumfort
borrowing an outfit of clothing from
a friend.

WHAT THEY SAY

a e.. E.. Young: 1t is probably true
that more or less grain was hurt by
the recent hot spell but the damage
will in a great measure be made UP
by the fact that wheat is now COM
manding la price Of $1.20 in Mime MINI e
apolis, which means around SLY
here. In years past when there was
a short crop, the years, the old tim
sers speak Of, the crop was not only
short one, but the price was very
low. Another thing there is more
fax in this year than ever before
and flax has stood the heat better
than almost anything else and this
is going to help out lot. In my
Judgment, we are going to see a con-
tinuance of good times here. Money
may not be so plentiful as two years
ago but there will be no hardships
for any Of us, business is going to go
right ahead and I believe that next
year there will be as much new
building done in town as this year
and there are more houses being
erected right now than in any
year since perhaps the boom times
in the early eighties. We have got
the location and we have got the
country around us to make this the
best city in the best state and the
entire northwest west of St. Paul
| The government alone is going tc
spend S150,0O0 here in the next veal
and that will buy the crop of wheat
| off of 5000 acres. That will hell
some. Bismarck is all right, SO Il
