E. N. BOOKER iS
 PLACID IN ASYLUM
The Peculiar Case of a Strange Man who is Caazy and Knows it.

Sheriff Hood left this morning for Little Rock, where he went to place E. N. Booker in the state hospital for nervous diseases. The case of Mir. Booker is pc
 culiar and interesting one. Alp parently tramp, he came into Emmet about three months ago, where he stayed a few hours. Leaving there he started north up the railroad track, and after travelling about a mile, he re- traced his steps, and going back to Emmet, looked up the marshal of the town, and requested that he be locked up, that he was crazy, and was afraid he would do some harm. He was immed- lately brought to Prescott, and placed in jail where hes has since remained until this morning. During such times as his mind is clear, he appears to be man of fair intelligence, and told of his relatives. He has a sister living in San Antonio, Texas, and a brother at Effingham, III.
 As there seemed to be no i'm provement in his condition, appli- cation was made Thursday to have him placed in the asylum, and a telegram was received late yesterday afternoon from the in stitution to bring him on at once.

a farm scene, the 500 Times says: The
above cut is from photograph taken
of a twenty-acre field of oats on the
farm of Sam and Carson Cuthbert one
and one-half miles from the city linn
its. This piece of land was in full
woods the year before and shows both
the energy of the owners and the pro-
ductivity of Chippewa county soil. Mr.
Cuthbert assures the Times that the
yield was a little over ninety bushels
per acre of full weight white side
oats.
Joseph N. Welch of the Mackinaw
road. seven miles out Of the city. re-
ports a yield of Red Clawson wheat
fifty-one bushels to the acre. The
wheat and straw from six acres yielded
Mr.. Welsh s411. Like the Cuthbert
oat field. Mr.. Welshs field was in full
woods the year before. Mr. Welsh says
that aside from this wheat he produced
on his home farm of 1872 acres Of
cleared land-eighteen of which is pas
ture-one hundred bushels spring
wheat; IFS bushels contract peas
which he sold at s1.30 to $3.50 per
bushel; 100 bushels field" peas; 1.40O
bushels oats-some OF them running

bushels barley: $50 bushels potatoes;
forty-five tons hay; two colts: thirty
five turkeys; twelve geese; seventy
five chickens; 500 dozen eggs. besides
butter, milk and cream galore.
Mr.. Welsh sold his May lambs at 81
