HERBERT BIBBIN
FOUND TO Be INSANE
Cook in Baudette Logging Camp,
Believes Some One Wants to Kill
Him Sent to Fergus.
is SEEN PREACHING TO TREES
Although Unfortunate Man is Not
Regarded as Dangerous, He
Guards Door With Axe.

/ Another man was committed to
the hospital for the insane at Fergus
Falls Saturday when Herbert Bibbin
IS years old, was found to be of un-
sound mind by Probate Judge M. A.
Clark and board of examiners.
! It appears that Bibbin who has
been employed in the woods near
Baudette in the capacity of cook dur
ling the past week, and who it is
claimed has fair education, has for
some time had feeling that some
one is after him, and that they were
going to kill him. r.
| This condition, it is claimed, went
from bad to worse, and the woods
men with whom he worked formed
the opinion that he must be insane
and SO informed the county officials.
The unfortunate man could not
sleep and would leave his bed at
night, grab an axe, and stand by the
door Of the cook house by the hour,
and wait for imaginary intruders.
On several occasions he was found
in the woods standing on a stump,
preaching to the trees, and at other
times he was found in the woods
hiding from those he feared were 90
ing to- kill him. n ,-,Aa.r-s, -, II
Bibbin was born in Chicago and
came to this state seven years ago,
but has been in Beltrami county only
short time. I
No trace of insanity can be found
in the records of his family, and this
is the first time that he has ever
been examined as to his sanity. +"
The attack came upon him sud
denly, and seems to be increasing.;
While the direct cause for his
present condition cannot be ascer-
tanned it is claimed that heavy drink
ing may be the reason. i
Bibbin was taken to Fergus this
morning by Deputy Sheriff Cahill. St

SOMETHING TO Be PROUD OF
Baudette Citizens Form Home and
!
Improvement Company.

In the current issue of the Rainy
River Region that paper has the
following to say concerning the
movement which the business men
OF that coming city have had in eff
feet during the past few months and
of which that city has reason to be
proud Of:
Less than three months ago, at
the suggestion Of one of our enter
prising citizens a few of our bust
ness men got together and discussed
the matter of organizing a company,
for the purpose of building tenement
houses, or comfortable homes that
would at least partially supply the
demand. The meeting was an en-
thusiastic one, and resulted in a call
for a general meeting, and all of the
citizens who were inclined to con-
slider the proposition favorably were
invited to attend. At the general
gathering there were not less than
seventy five of the men of Baudette,
Including all those who have been
identified with anything and every
thing looking to the growth and de-
velopment of the village ever since
it's organization.
Everyone felt the necessity and
Importance of such a company as
was proposed, and although all of
the business men have found them
selves under the necessity of build
ing residences and business houses
for their own use, and really needed
every dollar they could rake and
scrape in their own personal bust
ness, they showed their public spirit
and without exception subscribed for
stock in the proposed company.
"a corporation was then organiz-
ed and the Baudette Home and I'm
provement Company began doing
business. What has been accom-
pliShed in few weeks has surpassed
by far the most sanguine anticipa-
tons, and by the first of May six
teen nice, comfortable cottages will
be completed and occupied. IS
These houses have been erected
in various parts of the village, and
