Unfortunate Condition of the Well
Known Truck Farmer at Rapi-
dan; a Sad Case.

From Mondays Daily
Alden S. Pinkham, well known
truck farmer living in Rapidan, is
said to have threatened Thursday to
kill his stepdaughter. Miss Edith,
with a hoe. He was brought before
the probate court Saturday afternoon
and examined as to his sanity, and
was adjudged insane and was order
ed to the insane asylum at st. Peter.
The evidence taken brought out the
fact that Mr.. Pinkham is f1fty-eight
years of age and has wife and six
children. His first attack OF mental
unsoundness occurred year ago, and
he has had several attacks since
then, each of about weeks dura-
ton, and at such times has an idea
that his relatives and neighbOrs are
trying to take property and to move
his house and land to some other To-
cation. He has been very abusive to-
ward his stepdaughter and seemed
to think that she was stranger.
The case is sad one, for Mr..
Pinkham has always stood well in
the community and has been an hon
est, Woodworking man. His many
friends will hope that course of treat
ment will result in his complete
cure

CARD FROM MR.. AND MRS. kEE.
NAN.

Good Thunder, Mimi, Route l.,
May 4, 1911. To The Daily Free
Press: In your issue of Friday,
April %, | noticed an article re-
garding the school meeting at In
dian Lake at which bonds for re-
modelling the school house were vot-
ed against. There are some mis-
takes in that notice which should
be corrected In the first place it
was never even talked of to spend as
large sum as $4,000 for new
school house and when it was talked
of and voted on, the proposition to
build a new school house lost every
time at an estimate at about $4,000.
At third meeting proposition to
remodel the school house for about
$1,000 and to bond the district for
that amount carried with a majority
of two votes. But such was the
tumult that about six men declared
they had voted differently from their
intention and there was some other
irregularities in the voting that had
to be corrected SO when another
meeting was called the PROPOSE
ton lost by six votes. We must
not be understood to have given uT
our state aid. The Indian Lake
school house has not been con
demned, only the ventilation has
been condemned, which can be cor
rected for very much less thar
$1,000. Ask Mr.. Ulvin if you wish

Deputy Sheriff Ed Ario Had Rather
an Unpleasant Experience With
Sick Woman

About a week ago Mrs. Lizzie Treu
and her year old child came from
Cleveland township, LeSueur county,
to visit the family of Mr.. Honisch OF
Jamestown, and it appeared as
though she intended to remain in the
county. Mr.. Honisch found that she
is suffering from tuberculosis and
notified the county board. The
latter gave instructions yesterday to
have Mrs. Treu at once removed
back to Cleveland township, where
she came from. so that she might
not become a charge upon this cOun-
ty. as she has been sick a year and
has no means.
Deputy sheriff Ed. AriO took a
team and driver and went to Mr.
Honischs house yesterday afternoon,
but Mrs. Treu refused to 60 1t
took good deal of persuasion to
get her to enter the carriage, and
she wanted to change her dress, but
the deputy got her to enter the car
riage after considerable persuasive
talk. He drove her back into Cleve-
land township, some fifteen miles,
and took her to the home of the
chairman of the Cleveland town
board, as she has no home.
Here another difficulty arose, for
the chairman of the town board re.
fused to accept the unfortunate WON.
an. Mr.. Ario was again equal to
the occasion and finallv forced him
to accept her, for he left her at his
premises and drove away. 1t is the
duty of Cleveland township or LIE
Sueur county to take care of the
woman.
The baby was not taken on the
trip, but was left with Mr.. HOnisch's
family, and they will adopt it,
