ROY sQuIRES IS
ADJUOCEO INSANE

Kenmare Journal: A sad case
of insanity was brought to light
on Saturday last when Roy Squires,
81 years of age, who has lived
alone on his farm in Spencer town
ship for the past fourteen years,
was found to have lost his reason.
His actions have been noticed as
peculiar by neighbors for nearly a
year past, but nothing in particu-
lar was thought of it until lately
when he became dangerous; and it
was found necessary to take him
in charge. He has been under the
delusion for some time now that
his neighbors and different Ken
mare business men were attempting
to poison him and on several diff
ferent occasions lately, he has
.brandished shooting irons in the
presence of those he thought to be
his enemies. The case came to a
climax Saturday afternoon. when he
leveled high power rifle at a To-
cal business man and pulled the
trigger AS it happened the mag
azine of the gun was filled with
shells but there was none in the
Dafrel, ana 1t is pfODaDly only Il
fortunate incident that the situa-
tion did not become a serious one.
81. When taken in charge by the
Kenmare police a large revolver
and several boxes of shells were
found on his person. u
The authorities took him to Mi
not Saturday evening, and Monday
hearing was held before the in
sanity board A brother was
present and requested that he be
allowed to take him to a private
sanitarium. and this will probably
be done. :.

MANY TRkpPERs PLAN
TO QUIT THEIR WORK

Fargo, N. d., Oct. 29.-Of the
many effects of the European war
on different industries in the Unit
ed States one of the most peculiar,
perhaps, is it's discouragenIent of
the trappers of NolthsDa ota. .,y- Be-
cause of the war, there is a dull
time among exporters of furs, be-
cause of lack Of demand in Eu-
rope. AS result. there has been
a decline in prices, until trappers
can no longer see much profit in
the business. Some of the old
time professional trappers in this
etate have decided not to engage
in the business this year, Others
are planning to trap in the usual
way, but to retain all choice skins
for an anticipated advance in
prices, when the war is over. In
the western part of the state,
where there are wolves. the trap
rcrs will continue their work

A M|N0T LUNAT|C
FLOODS THE JAIL

Minot, N. D., Oct. Ell. Peter
son Roseland was declared insane
by the county insanity board.
Several witnesses, including men,
bers of the Minot police force,
testified that he had acted strange
ly for some time past
At the time the double murder
was committed near Lansford he
showed great interest in the affair,
and became over-enthusiastic in his
belief that the criminals had been
seen by him in the Leland hotel
and had taken southwesterly
course from Minot, headed for the
bad lands.
He wanted squad Of dozen
automobiles with four men in each
car to form posse and go out and
capture the criminals. Failing to
get up the automobile party he
started out on his own hook in an
automobile, armed with guns and
ammunition. Although he Travelled
80 miles, Roseland was unable to
find any trace of the murderers.
1t is claimed that Roseland, who
has been held in the county Jail
since last Saturday night when he
was arrested while carrying a .22
caliber rifle and a club, has been
making life miserable for his fell
low prisoners. It is stated that
he stays up at all hours of the
night and keeps fussing around in
the Jail.
One night he got up in the mid
die of the night, turned on the
water and started scrubbing out
the Jail. BY the time he got
through the Jail had about two
inches of water or the floor The
jailer had some difficulty in maxi
ing Roseland desist.
Roseland is sixty-four years old
and has been a resident Of Minot
for the past seven or eight years.
He is a very we'll known character.
He was formerly engaged in the
land business having had an Office
in the postoftice block at one time.
Roselaad is an escaped patient
from the insane asylum at Inde-
pendence, Iowa, having made his
getaway from THAI institution in
1904. He has been harmless
enough while in Minot, it is said,
butt was feared silat if he was
permitted to- go at large much
longer, he might ~,istake some in
nocent parties for the criminals
aud shoot them. He was an un-
usually bright old fellow and there
are many who still believe him TO
he merely eccentric.
