The Lake county insanity board
this morning committed Jens Thue
to the hospital for the insane at
Yankton, on complaint of his uncle,
Eric Johnson. He will be taken
away as soon as arrangements can
be made. Deportation to his home
country, Norway, had been consider
ed, but the immigration commission
er advised that in the present con-
dition of transportation there We're
other uses for the ships, and hat 1T
night be several months, or possibly
a year, before it would be possible to
get him from an American port.
During this time he must have care
at the port, which would fall upon
this county. And instead of trying
to send him to some other county or
state where the anne action might
lave to be taken, they committed
aim for treatment, hoping that in a
few months he might be released
realty improved or cured.
County Commissioners M. Cos
grove and j. f. Rosenow, States At
tOrney Geo. X. Farmer and Engineer
c. A. Trimmer went today to Elan
dreau, to attend a hearing in district
court concerning branch IL of the
Lake-Moody drainage project. The
contention in this case is the fear by
The game commission that the ditch
will drain the Milwaukee lake and
make it unfit for game and fish.
The commission at first endorsed
the emptying of the branch into a
itch which skirted the lake. Then.
when this was done, they brought
action to stop the work under the
claim that it was liable to drain the
lake. Curiously enough, there is g
sentiment among the residents Of
that part of the county favorable tt
a draining of the lake, as they con
slider that it would be worth more tc
the county and state as farm lant
than as a frog pond.
