Miss Martha Melek who has been
employed the past two years az
cook in A. Trutnovsky's restaurant
went suddenly insane last Sunday
morning. It appears that before
losing her reason she realized that
the attack was coming on and left
q sealed letter to MI. Trutnovsky
in which she stated that she had
twice before had attacks of insan-
ity, while living in her native coun-
try of Bohemia ; that she had been
confined in an asylum, and request
ed him to send her to Yankton at
once. She enclosed $1O5 in money
and informed him that she had
loaned some more to q relative liv-
ing near Wagner. Soon after writ
ing the letter she became violent
and it was necessary to lock her
up III the city bastile. After q few
hours she became more quiet and
q room was prepared for her where
she was cared for during the night.
Monday morning she was de-
clared insane by the board of in
sanity and was taken to Yankton
by Marshal Cobb, accompanied by
Mrs. John Vellek and Miss Kate
Sternhagen.
Since coming to this country she
had not previously shown any sign
Of her old trouble and in her man
ner was always quiet and ladylike.
II is hoped that under the treat
!; ment at the hospital she may again
regain her reason, tho it appears to
be a case of hereditary insanity,
and each recurring attack is more
severe.

on to state that a grieVous error of
judgment was committed in the conf

more than twenty classrooms, thereby
forcing upon a principal in many casesi

The proposed building of q technical

Tic cost of construction, $500, 900, added

up to at least 81, 900, 900.
