Suddenly Becomes Insane.

Gregory News: William Stems, who
few weeks ago purchased the Braz-
eel saloon in this city and recently
took charge, last Thursday became
violently insane, and after a few days
treatment by local physicians it was
found that nothing could be done for
him, and the board of insanity sat
over his case and declared him in
sane, and had him taken to the hos
pital for insane at Yankton, where
he will be treated in that state insti-
tuition.
For many years Mr.. Stems has been
4 resident of Gregory county and re-
sided on farm near Carlock, which
he homesteaded in the early days.
Previous to engaging in business here
he enjoyed a wide acquaintance, and
on numerous occasions played with
the Dallas band during various en-
sagements, he being very fine clari-
net player.
During Mr.. Stems illness Mrs.
Stems was in attendance, and when
1t was known that 1t was necessary
to take him to Yankton, she placed
George Spears in charge of the bust
ness until other arrangements could
be made for the care Of the same. On
| Tuesday Fl. II. Coonan & Co. of this
city, purchased the business of Mrs.
Stems without any loss to her, and
the place is now in their possession.

Billman, 40 years old, lecturer on
American history in the University of
Wisconsin, extension course, confessed
today that he had sent obscene matter

withheld. She is a member OF the
upper class, a sorority member and an
acquaintance Of the accused man ana
his wife.
The capture Of Billman was brought
about through clever move on the
part of the detectives. After seeing
the first letter they requested the re.
ceiver to answer. The correspondence
on both sides was done by typewriter,
and after the detectives had posses
sion of half a dozen letters, the use OF
lock box in the postoffice was sug-
gested. The girl wrote that she would
rent the box and deposit the extra key
on top of the telephone booth in the
postoffice. The booth served as hid.
ing place for the detectives.

battery so that the lifting of the key
would flash light. The trick worked,

not sent letters to more than one
woman.

TO REolSTRicT STATE.
Lack Of Big Majority viii Ensure Fair
Revision,


Whether the state legislature shows
a slight majority one way or the other,
prominent members of the democratic
and republican parties in Norfolk are
rather pleased that the result of cleo
ton is so close in both house and sen.
ate. In accordance with the state laws
the duty of re-districting the state for
members Of congress, state legisla-
ture and possibly for district judges,
will fall to the next legislature, and
the fact that parties are about evenly
represented, they say, will ensure a
fair revision.
The laws provide that the state shall
be redistricted at the first session of
the Legislature after every state and
every national census has been taken.
The national census was taken last
spring, hence the revision this winter.
The census returns for the state will
be forwarded to the legislature from
Washington probably in January.
The Legislature is not required by
law to revise the judicial districts at
this time, but may do so if the census
returns indicate changes enough in
the population of the districts to war
