BROKEN BOW MAN HELD
FOR INSANITY WALKING MINT
W. A. Leserve, Arrested at Lovela nd
Colo, Found to Have Large
Sum OF Money.

Fort Collins, Colo, March l3.
Brought from Loveland to he
exa mined as to his insanity, W.
A. Leserve, 20 years old when
searched by the sheriff, was
found to be a veritable walking
mint. A belt fastened about his
waist held nearly &c 600. Five
hundred was in $40 in gold
pieces, the test in greenbacks.
He had carried the money so
long that the gold had worn
holes through the leather belt.
The greenbacks were musty.
Leserve is a war veteran and
member of the Grand Army of
the Republic. He had no faith
in banks. He located in Love-
land about six weeks ago, mar
ried Mrs Russell, bought house
and paid $4,000 in cash out OF
his pocket. He came from Brok-
en- Bow, Neb. He was injured
on the head recently aud this
affected his brain.
The above reference to Col.
Leserve recalls the fact that when
he was loading his goods here a
short time ago for shipment to
Loveland he received an injury
about the head which consider
ablv disfgured one of his eyes
but no one thought it was at
all serious. It is to be hoped
that his insanity will prove only
temporary.
Mr.. Leserve sold his farm near
Westerville two or three years
ago and moved to Broken Bow
where he bought property, after
marrying Mrs. Russell in Col.
orado last tall they sold their
home and went to Colorado.

against diseases and epidemics
and add greatly to the sanitary
conditions of the city, we recon-
mend that the mayor and city
council take up the question and
provide as soon as possible for
such a system.
7 Since the postoffice receipts
have reached the amount re-
quired to entitle us free delivery
we recommed that the mayor and
city council adopt some plan by
which the buildings may be num-
bered and the streets named.
8. 1t was declared in the reso-
lutions a year ago that the ques-
tion of pool and billiard rails and
bowling alleys be left to the city
authorities; we recommend that
billiard and pool hall ordinance
be strictly enforced, and that no
children of school age or attend
ants of school age be allowed to
enter or remain in such halls.
9. We endorse the action
taken by the city council and
comm, rcial club to secure means
to erect a city hall and FIRE de-
partment.

more than ten years as a nom
