Concerning former resident OF
OskaloOsa and a man we'll known here
the Three Forks (MOnt) News has
the following under date of May Z
1914. Mr.. Muir was a special agent
and detective OF the Iowa Central and
the NJ. & St l.. Rys. and had special
appointment to act with local city and
county officers He was successful in
running down much local trouble rob
berry of freight ears ptlfering OF fuel
cars. and landed some bad men while
connected with local institutions: On
Saturday at BOZeman an examining
board consisting OF Drs. Fl. II. Judd
and R. +. SeitZ, adjudged Y. +. Muir
of this city insane and he was com
mitted to the state asylum at Warm
Springs, to which place he was taken
Monday Ever since the jury that
heard his case in the district court in
BOZeman failed to agree and he was
released he has seemed to worry over
the fact that he was not acquitted.
This and other things affecting his
general health are undoubtedly re,
spOnSible for his present condition OF
Hmind. Mr. Muir served the city for
several months as city marshal ana
was considered an efficient officer. Al
the time of the trouble out of which
resulted his trial on a murder charge
he was Waterman for the Milwaukee
railroad in the yards in this city, and
il was while in the discharge OF his
duties as such Waterman that he shot
a man in box car in the yards here.

sincerely hope that his recovery Will
be rapid and complete
