Chester King, the young man who
was gagged and tied in his buggy by
robbers a week ago, became insane
Monday afternoon. He went to
Penokee and stayed until the author
ties there sent word to Deputy Sheriff
Ashcroft to come for him. Ashcroft
and Harry Richardson started for
Penokee in Robt. Jacksonis auto
about midnight and brought the
young man to Hill City. Will King,
telephoned another brother who lives
just across the line in Nebraska. As
soon as he arrived and the necessary
arrangements were made, the young
man was taken in charge. There is
hope that his trouble may be relieved
by treatment here, since the cause is
probably the shock and exposure of
his recent experience. Three months
ago his twin brother became obsessed
with the idea that he had burned
down the Spring Hill school house
and later was taken to Topeka and is
still there. Both parents of the boys
are dead.-Hill City Republican.

Sherman's Idea of War Still True.

In various dispatches originating in

dispatches from San Antonio. however,
the soldiers themselves tell quite Il diff

Democratic Organs Retort.

The retort of Mr.. Davis appeared
III the editorial column of his pa
per Thursday morning. in these
words:
On Tuesday the proposition to
grant the kennebcc Dam & Reser-
Noir company q charter Was put
over two years by the lower branch
of the state legislature, the motion
for that DISPOSITION being made by
r. preventative Pattanga'l Of Wa
terville who supported his action
IN ii speech Of considerable length
and filled with considerable bitter
ness. Against the proposition
which Mr.. Pattangall supported so
snergeticallN and the Gefeat of
which he acknowledged with so
much that measured Gisappoint-
ment the Sentinel has taken def
mite attitude. 1t believed it was
following the course in harmony
with the public interests. 1t still
believes so but the Sentinel has
not and will not make an effort to
impeach the motives of Represen-
fative P;.ttangall nor cast a dark
suspicion in his direction because
or his differing from the Sentinel
upon matter over which two men
could we'll disagree and both be
honest and sincere.
But men should be good losers if
they would prove their right to fol-
low the game. This applies as well
in politics as in anything else. This
rule holds equally as forceful in
broad craftsmanship as il does in
the boys game of tag. TO make
faces from the corner is childish
method of exhibiting petty spite.
Recourse to such ill-tempered tao
tics in the hour of defeat and at
tho time of acknowledging defeat
soIicits sympathy. 80" 'ea.
