HERMIT EXAMINED
REGARDING SANITY

Sheriff f. b. holland was at
pedee Tuesday, returning that
evening with a man named Paul
Breen, who was held for an eX-
animation as to his sanity. Re
ports had been made to the sher-
ifs Office of man camping out
in the hills who was thought to be
insane and the sheriff had made
four different searches before he
located Breen. When found by
the officer Breen was camping out
without a fire and with only two
ragged blankets for a bed. He
wore a shirt which had been lined
with newspapers for warmth and
his total possession were a small
quantity of flour and a large
number of newspapers.
The man seems to have a
mania for collecting newspaper
clippings which he sewed into his
trousers until they resembled a
padded football suit, the articles
dating back for five or six years.
A number of cans filled with
newspaper clippings were also
found at his camp, if it may be
called such. Breen works in the
woods in the summer and then
camps out in the hills all winter,
never building a fire, according
to his statement. His food con-
sists of flour, which he eats with
out cooking, and a small amount
of canned goods.
In his possession was found a
book in which he had kept an ac-
curate account of his eXpendi-
lures per month since 1914, each
months average being figured
down to a fraction of a cent
For one year his expenditures
averaged S4.99 per month, this
sum including everything spent
For the seven years from 1914
to the present time his average
expenditures were less than $500
per month. The largest single
item Of expense in his account
was for the purchase Of news
papers, and each years account
showed the purchase Of a Worlds
Almanac. No particular subject
was favored in his newspaper
clippings, they ranging from
election returns and casually
lists to patent medicine adver-
tisements.
When questioned by the au-
thorities Breen displayed no indi-
cations Of insanity and seemed
to be unusually well-informed
He stated he preferred to follow
that method of living and whel
released Immediately left the city

CARRY RATE CONTROVERSY
TO FLOOR OF CONGRESS

The lntermOuntain rate con-
troVersy is carried to the floor of
Congress. Measures are now be-
fore the senate and house pro-
Viding that the railroad shall ad-
here, without modification, To the
principal of the long and short
haul. Under The present law, the
railroads may, with the consent
of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, charge a higher rate for
the shorter than for the longer
haul. 1t is this discriminatory
power that is to be taken from
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. Senator PoindeXler,
author of the bill befire the sem
late, in discussing This matter
said:

PEOPLE WANT STREAMS
AND LAKES OPENED

There is and has been a, de-
mand for SEEMING non-game fish
i'm the lakes and streams Of Idaho
and by permitting this to be done
there will be placed in the hands
of the people many pounds OF
food fish which they would not
otherwise be able to acquire.
This is the opinion of State Game
Warden Jones in reply to the
published inference there was
not a demand for the governors
proclamation and declaring a
fight proposed to be made against
indiscriminate seining.
Replying to articles published
that sentiment was against SEM
ing, State Game Warden Jones
said:
81 wish to say for the benefit
of the public that in my opinion
there is no such sentiment among
the sportsmen of this state. On
the other hand, for the last six
months this Office has been in
receipt of numerous letters and
communications as we'll as per-
sonal interviews by delelegatiOns
regarding the opening of these
streams for the seining of nom

GREAT SHOW OF STOCK

A list was published a few days
ago of some of the stocl1men who
were going to exhibit at the Manka-
to fair, wherein T. B. Taylor of
Mapleton. was omitted. Mr. Taylor
will make a fine showing in the
Hereford, Clydesdale Horse Glasses.
There are a good many others with
fine registered stock who have not
signed up and it is hoped they will
get IN touch with either Tom
McGovern or ]. C. NARROW, at an
early date as it is impossible for the
committee to call on everyone, and
it is necessary to know how much
stock there will be exhibited in order
to make the proper arrangements
for housing them.
1t is also hoped that the hog and
sheep breeders will give in their en-
tries at an early date, as very few
have signed up to bring in stock in
these classes up to The present time.
The committee is not very well
posted as to just who the swine and
sheep breeders are so, breeders, you
are requested to make yourselves
known, and If you are not coming
to town in the near future. send in
a list of the stock, giving number of
head you will show. Do this at once.
Remember the premiums are sec
ond only to the state fair The Man
kato fair will be second in size and
quality only to our state fair, and it
is hoped that all will attend. You
will want to show your stock, and
the fairgoers will be looking for you.

Their Order Issued In the
! Blooming Prairie Case
RIGHT TO SHUT SALOONS
Contention of Carroll As to the
Safety Body to Be
Tested
From Fridays Daily.

From fridays Daily.
ST. Paul, August 9.-Governor
Burnquist cannot be ca1led into a
court in Minnesota and cited for
contempt of court when he took such
action as was taken in closing tho
saloons at Blooming Prairie by mill
tary force. This was the substance
of the ruling given down today by
the state supreme court.
The state tribunal took the view
that the governor was only carrying
out his duties as public official
when he ordered the saloons closed
for having disobeyed, the order of the
Minnesota Commission of Public
Safety. The supreme court also ex
c)npted General Rhinow from the
CT ntempt proceedings, holding hat
he simply acted as the agent of the
governor.
Syllabus In the Case.
The syllabus follows:
I'm an action to enjoin the sever
al members of the Minnesota Public
Safety commission (created by Chap
ter 261, Laws 1910 the village presi-
Gent and sheriff from enforcing tine
orders of the commission in closing
licensed saloon, the court, upon OK
rarte application, granted temper
a,y restraining order. The relator
BUrnquist, as governor of the state.
ordered the adjutant general, the re-
lator Rhinow, to close the saloon
With the military force of the state
The order was carried out, and re-
lators were cited to show cause why
they should not be punished for
contempt 1t is held:
THAT the trial court IS without
jurisdiction to proceed against the
relator, Burnquist, since it appears
that in closing the saloon he was in
good faith discharging a constitution
al duty, placed upon him as COVER
nor, to take care that duly enact
ed law was faithfully executed.
THAT the same is true with refer
ence to the relator, Rhinow, since,
as. adjutant general, he was proper
agency in the hands of the governor
to aid in discharging his said duty.
"The writ of prohibition to issue"
Merits Yet to Be Tried.
The supreme court opion con-
cludes as follows:
In taking leave of fhe case we
wish to make clear that we have not
passed upon the merits of the ac-
ton instituted by Carroll, nor upon
the validity of the orders of the COM
mission therein mentioned, nor upon
the propriety of issuing a restraining
order therein upon ex parte applica-
ito. Our decision reaches no further
that this: That, in attempting to
enforce law and the orders of a
commission created by and acting
under that law, the relator Burnquist
was performing his constitutional
duties as governor, and when so do
ing he is not amenable to the jurfs-
dlctlon OF the courts in proceeding
as for contempt"

With the British Armies In France
August 9-Acting together the Brit
ish Fourth army and the French
First army last night drove a wedge
of from six to eight miles in the
German lines along the Montdidier
front Great confusion reigns be-
hind the German lines. Airmen re-
port that truck transports are sour
rying to. the rear as rapidly as pos
sible to avoid capture and so sudden
was the British blow that large sup
plies of ammunition will have to be
abandoned.
German Officers Sprint.
A number of German officers of
high command were taken lin the
drive and are held as common pris-
oners OF war. The last seen of one
German officer, general in COM
nand of a division was his frantic
sprint down the road with a huge
tank numbering close behind, splitting
machine gun bullets every minute.
The officer is reported to have COW
cred the ground at a remarkable
pace.
Rail, Lines Gut Of Range.
Rail lines along, this front are out
of range of the German light range
guns and can only be damaged by
the big cannon, far behind the lines.
The Paris railway and the Amiens-
Paris line are both secure from seri :.
Gus danger. Allied artillery is pound
ing the German positions with ter
rifle force and thus far Prince Pep
precht has failed to reply in like
spirit. The German fire is weak and
Ineffective
Little Barb Wire Encountered.
Reports from the front state that
there was little barb wire or trench
positions encountered. Apparently
the Teutons underestimated their op-
ponents or overestimated their own
strength. 1t was purely careless
ness to. leave positions open to a
sharp blow such as the English were
able to make More reports of close
escapes by officers of high command
are told Many appear to have es-
capped with little more than their pa
jamas and their hides.
Wounded Men Take Prisoners.
So many prisoners were brought
in that the wounded men were
obliged to escort them to the rear.
Tommies who were not wounded be-
ing unwilling to leave the fighting
Big tanks and the little whiffets
went out together in the thick of the
light, looking like superdreadnaughts
surrounded by flotilla of tiny de-
stroyers. The tanks did wonderful
work all along the front, however.
Teuts showed Into Open.
When General Hindenburg retreat
ed across this land two years ago he
devastated it, leaving little more than
desert, his reason being that he
would push the British back again
and they would not have sign of
protection. Now the Teutons are be
ing showed into the same open areas.
They have no shelter from the pitt
less hail of bullets and are unable to
face the allied lain OF sheifs, sweep
ing over them.

With the British Armies in France,
August 9.-British cavalry is report
ed to be in the outskirts of Chaulnes.
the latest objective of the Franco
British drive in the Picardy sector.
Prisoners to the number of 10000 or
more have been taken in the fighting.
Losses in the fighting during the past
two days are heavy blow to the
Teutons and cannot fail to have an
effect on their men at other points
along the line.
Behind the lines the transports
form a tangled and confused mass on
which the allied airmen are waging
relentless warfare, bombing the po-
sltions and, making the havoc of the
retreat more complete.
