the Tombs to Bellevue Hospital recent
ly upon showing alleged signs Of mental
arrangement, was pronounced perfectly
sane yesterday by DIR. Menas S. Gre

Is understood, and Tighe probably will
be taken back to the Tombs prison to-
day. Judge John F. Mcintyre, when in.
formed of the alienists's decision
said:
II will vacate at once the order stay

that is the case"
The Judge had not received the ply
sician's report, however, up to the time
he left his chambers.
Tighe was convicted of having usec

sentenced to from two to four years il

At the head of the list of stolen prop
| erty was the announcement of re-
ward of $4,000 for the conviction of
the bandits. A subtitle saying that

months at least, that the l. Y. A. is

as the time for filing thesrecall petit

more and more apparent that the dit

rather increased than otherwise. The

Except for the small bunch of
disgruntled politicians controlled by
the railroads, grain gamblers and big
bankers through Judge N, c. Young,
there is absolutely no demand for a
recall election at this time. The rank
and file of the voters opposed to. the
Nonpartisan League are utterly OPP
posed to this needless expense ct this
time and even many Of those who
have posed as I. v. A. leaders in the
past have expressed. themselves as
opposed to a bitter campaign now
when a congressional primary cleo
ton will have to be held in March, a
state primary in June and the gen.
eral election a year from the cunning
November.
The real purpose Of the Devils
Lake convention in calling this recall
election was to block the sale OF
state bonds. The I. V.,A. bosses con-
fidenty expected that the Devils lake
decision would effectually, prevent
the sale of the bonds and that before
the summer was over the big bank
ers would succeed in putting the Bank
of North Dakota out Of business. This
would have served practically the
same purpose as the enactment Of the
I. v. A. initiated laws, for without
the Bank of North Dakota the indus,
