Rev. M. Njust was brought to town last Sunday by his neighbors in an insane condition. He was taken before the board of insanity Monday and adjudged insane and was committed to
the asylum at Jamestown by County Judge C. H. Johnson. The reverend gentleman was insane a few years ago, we understand, and was treated at
St. Peters, Minn {sp}. Last month he had an attack of
the grippe which seems to have been the means of unbalancing his mind. He is not very bad and his malady is a peculiar one. He imagines that if he could see
King Oscar he could settle the disputes between the different nations. It is to be hoped that the reverend gentleman will speedily recover and be returned to his family. Sheriff Jackson took him to Jamestown Tuesday.

{sp} he had on was torn off. He escaped with a few scratches and bruises. The man got together a part of his torn clothing as soon as he could extricate himself, and borrowed additional wearing apparel upon his arrival at

Bandit Lets Victim Keep "Two-Bit Piece"
Beach, N. D., Dec. 19.—Frank Sticka, harnessmaker, needed a 25-cent piece more than a bandit who held him up here. The "two-bit piece ain't no good to me, keep it," the bandit said after rifling the clothes of his victim. He is believed to have been a convict who escaped from the state penitentiary at Bismarck recently.
