FOR The
INSANE CROWDED
MORE ROOM NEEDED TO TAKE
CARE OF PATIENTS-BIG IN
CREASE LAST YEAR.

Jamestown, N. D., Feb. 1.-THE
time is fast approaching when the
asylum for the insane we have to
have a great deal more space than
now exists. Patients are being receiv-
ed in such numbers that by the time
the new ward building is ready for
occupancy the demands will be 80
great that the conditions in regard
to overcrowding will not be relieved.
So many patients were received at
the hospital in 1911 as in the two
years prior thereto.
The population of the institution
that was about 400 four years ago,
is now 77S and some of the rooms
that were designed for only one pa
tient contain two. The asylum has
a designed capacity of but $50 but
nearly 500 patients are cared for daily.
superintendent Hotehiss says II
there is not some relief afforded for
the congestion at the asylum the plan
will have to be adopted again, as it
was some years ago before new
buildings were constructed, of requir-
ing couties TO taxi home a patient
before they presented a more disturb
ed patient for admittance.

The new main sewer, estimated to

The present condition of the institu-
ton and the demand for new. build
ings and equipment has been placed
before the state board of control.
New plans for the Institution were
prepared by superintendent Hotchiss
and blue prints also presented to the
state officers that something like $780,
900 will be needed in the near future.

was taken into custody and searched,
and from his person a lot of jeweiry
was taken, including seven watches, a
number of rings. fountain pens, etc.
He had taken the sets from the rings
and tried in other ways to make iden-
tification dificult. Inquiry developed
the fact that the Engle store had
been entered a few nights before and
Sheriff Cooper and Engle went to
Lidgerwood to take the fellow back
to Ransom county for trial. All the

Relatives Found.

Devils Lake, N. D., Feb. 1L.-Rela-
tives of VIM. Crombe, who died here
a few days ago and whose body has
been lying in the morgue since his
death, were heard from last night by
telegram after nearly a weeks strenu-
Gus search. Mr.. Crombe died without
giving definite information and his
property will not have a claimant.
Before he passed away Mr.. Crombe
was asked where his relatives lived
and about all the information that
could be given was Pennsylvania. A
search was started and last night a
message from a brother, George
Crombe, asking the authorities to
hold the body as he was leaving from
his home in Carbonate, Pa.
1t is expected he will be here in a
few days and will take the body back
with him.
Crombe has for some time past been
working in the Great Northern shops
in this city. His means did not re-
quire this hard labor as he was re-
puted to be wealthy, owning consid-
cradle property here as we'll as in the
east.

Four utility men will be carried by
Manager Griffith next season. He in
tends to have two extra infelders and
two extra outflelders to draw on in case
of injury to any of the regulars. Here
tofore it has been the policy OF the local
club to carry a veteran or two for this
purpose, but Griff1th wants youngsters to
do the bench duty, and he will select
those that show the best form and look
to have a chance to improve. Griff fig
ures that under existing conditions no
team can expect to go through a season
that is not fortified with utility men. and
he figures that four of them will carry
him through the season. Out of his array
of young talent he hopes not only to find
enough material to fill the regular posi-
lions on the team, but also to fill the util-
ity places. He has, Of course. not made
any selections as yet, nor will he until
he has a thorough line on his players.
IF can get couple of youngsters
who are not quite ripe for the team. but
show that they will come. they will be
the ones to fill the utility positions.
said Griff this morning. I'VE need four
of them, two for the infield and two for
the outf1eld. Accidents are always apt to
occur, and unless a team has players on
the bench who can jump in and fill the
bill for a time at least it is in a bad way.
l also propose to carry a long string OF
pitchers, providing, of course, that they
show me enough to warrant their re-
tention.'

tape in the center moved slowly over to

One could easily imagine the annual

1t is doubtful IL any year in base ball
marked the end of active careers OF so
many base ball stars as the one just

Five years ago a team having the men
