A man giving the name of Martin
Griha was picked up at the Max Steven
son farm just east of Morris on Mon
day morning suffering with a case of
temporary insanity. He was on his way
from Montana to Chicago and jumped
from the window of the train the eve
ming before just as the train was pulling
into Morris. A man sitting beside him
tried to keep him from jumping and
succeeded in holding him enough so that
he was not hurt when he hit the ground.
That he was insane there was no ques-
ton. as when found he was running
around in the barnyard without any
clothes on. He was brought to Morris
on Monday and on Tuesday was COM
mittod to the insane asylum at Fergus
Falls.
John Lcntz. member of Co. F. 54th
Pioneer Infantry. is back from overseas
service and is home on weeks fur
Tough. after which he must report to
Fort Smelling for a minor operation be-
fore receiving his discharge. John left
here on July 25 last year for Camp
Wadsworth. and with Hames Ma1mberg
and Arthur LaShchanzky with whom he
remained until January, made short
work of getting overseas. They left for
France on August 80, and on September
Il. four days after their arrival at
Rrcst, were building roads at the front.
Without q days rest until after the
armistice was signed. they went thru the
San MihicI drive and then thru the Ar
gOnne and Mouse battles, building roads
under shell fire for the artillery and
supply trains. Much of their work was
done at night. and they often carried
road and bridge building material for
miles. The work was very heavy, but
they kept at it with fine spirit. After
the armistice, John went to Coblenz with
the Army of Occupation. and there on
January was taken with the flu. His
case was a severe one and he was in
different hospitals for over two months.
John says he wouldn't take a million
dollars for his experience nor pay five
cents to go thru it again. He came
home on the Leviathan, which beat her
sister ship, the Imperator, twelve hours
in the trip across. The triumph is as
scribed to the fact that the Vaterland
was rebuilt by American engineers af-
ter it was seized by this government
and is a proof of the superiority of
American naval engineering.
