The government sought to supply the

Crazy Woman's Coup Lands Brenna
In Hands of Jamestown Crowd: Has
Strenuous Fight Against Heavy Odds

Deputy Sheriff Brenna Of Grand
Forks county is through with crazy
women, his experience at jamestown
with Mrs. Frank Bates, whom he es-
corted to the asylum for the insane,
having cured him of any hankering he
may have previously held to act in the
capacity Of escort.
Breaking out Of her hotel at mid
night after having retired peacefully
in the same room with Mrs. George
Koenig of this city, who is a personal
friend of the demented woman, Mrs.
Bates reached the lobby of the hotel
with Deputy Sheriff Brenna hot on her
trail.
Mrs. Bates insisted on going to the
city police station, and Deputy Brenna,
in view of her actions in the hotel,
was ready to scort her there.
Declares Brenna Crazy.
Once on the street, however, Mrs.
Bates changed her mind. and when
Brenna sought to force her into his
way of thinking, taking her by the
arm, she startled the staid city of
Jamestown with cries of police, MUIR
der and a few other things.
Attracting several men to her, Mrs.
Bates declared Brenna was crazy. and
it didn't take the crowd more than 4
minute to come to the conclusion that
she was right.
Brenna Attacked by Crowd.
Four or five big fellows climbed
Brenna at once, and in Il few minutes
he found himself %pinioned, hand and
foot, despite his protestations that he
was In charge of the woman.
Mrs. Bates Attacks Him.
When he was being held firmly by
the crowd Of men, Mrs. Bates found
an opening to get in her work. and a
blow to Brenna's jaw with her fist
was followed by a second smash in
the face with her mesh Dag.
Tough Looking Customer.
By this time Brenna admits he wa.

ROADS DELAY
MONTHLY MEETING
Board of County Commits
sioners Gather Today for
Long Session.

Bad roads delayed members of the
board of county commissioners in
reaching the city today. and as a re-
suit the regular monthly meeting did
not begin until this afternoon.
The present indication, according
to County Auditor Hans Anderson, are
that the meeting will be long and will
o be concluded until some time dur
ing nex week.
It is expected that a large number
of bridge petitions will be received
and acted on in order that the work,
which has already G somewhat de-
layed, may begin as soon az possible.
The commissioners will also take up
the question of tax equalization in the
county, canvas the vote cast in the
recent primary election and transact
a large amount of routine business.
According to County Auditor Ander-
son., nothing can be done in regard to
the resolution passed by the city coun-
Gil recently asking that the real estate
tax lists be brought up to date.
The county commissioners can only
compile the tax list in accordance
with the records of the register of
deeds. In many cases a, change in the
ownership of and is not Immediately
recorded, but under the law the taxes
on the land in question must be as
sessed against the person In whose
name the record stands.

a pretty tough looking customer. He
had been reused from his room by
Mrs. Bates fight on Mrs. Koenig in an
adjoining room and had had only time
to don trousers, shoes and his coat.
With hair d~isheveled, his face bleed
ing as the result of Mrs. Bates blows,
there wasn't much need to convince
the crowd that Brenna was as crazy
as Mrs. Bates had claimed he was.
More Willing Hands.
About this time several friends of
Brenna reached the scene, seeking to
explain matters. Several of the men
released their hold on the deputy, but
there were others at hand willing to
hold him down, and Brenna soon
found himself in just as tight a boat
as ever.
1t wasn't till the chief of police
arrived on the scene that he was final
ly reed. Mrs. Bates in the meantime
had wandered some distance up the
street. She was readily recaptured
and placed in the city Jail for the rest
of the night.
Patient Had Escaped.
Color was lent to Mrs. Bates story
Of Brennas' alleged insanity by the
fact, that a patient had escaped from
the asylum the day before the affair.
Mrs. oKenig Injured.
Mrs. koenig was slightly injured
while attempting to control Mrs. Bates
in their room, fighting the lunatic
when she sought. to gain possession of
the key to the room, and in which
fight Mrs. Bates was successful. Mrs.
Bates was committed to the asylum
after being found wandering about the
streets of the south end of the city.
Negroes View Comforting.
While Brenna was fighting the
crowd, he had comforting words watt
ed to him from a big negro standing
near by.
Il reckon they'll lynch that guy"
was the colored mans comment.
