along the line of the enlarging field

the present time abounds with oppor
tunities for young men and women

abounded in sparkling and wholesome
humor that kept the audience in a
pleasant mood.

ffANTED LANDAND SHEEP
Demented Stranger Comes Back to

| TRADED CART AND HORSE FOR IT
i Wanders Into Office of County Attorn
ey, Who Discovers His Condition
and Calls Sheriff.
In hunting for an attorney to assist
hLm recover a timber claim and a flock
of sheep which he belived somewhere
through this section belonged to him,
John Dormady of Sioux City, Io.,
Monday walked into the arms of the
law and was taken into charge by the
sheriff as an insane subject.
Dormady, who is tall, straight and
muscular looking, but appearing to
have tramped the wide world over,
came into town from somewhere with
a few bundles tied to the end of a
stick and thrown accross his shoulder,
went into the office of County Attor
ney Whelan Monday afternoon. Mr,
Whelan soon discovered that he was
mentally unbalanced and telephoned
Deputy Sheriff Harding’ who came at
once and started for the county jail
with the man. When in sight of the
jail Dormady evidently suspected
what was up and undertook to get
away. He darted off on the run down
past the jail and turned the corner
east of the jail, running north up past
Mayor Gallagher’s residence, with the
deputy sheriff after him. The deputy
sheriff overtook him near the Birm
ingham place and with the aid of the
mayor and some others who had been
attracted by the chase the man was
taken in change and the sheriff sum
moned from the court-house.
In the mean time Mr. Whelan had
sworn out a warrant so that the man
could be legally held and he was placed
in jail. It was ascertained from his
rumbling story that many years ago
he was traveling through this country
with a horse and cart looking for a
location for a sheep ranch. He ran
across a claim holder in the Chambers
country who offered to trade him his
tree claim for the horse and cart. The
trade was made, and then he says he
started to Texas to buy sheep. He did
not get so far as Texas, however, but
bought twenty-two head of wool grow
ers in the neighborhood of his claim.
He thinks now that the government
officials took his claim and sheep away
from him, and thinks the twenty-two
head should be increased into a big
flock by this time.
He was able to give the name of
some of his relatives at Sioux City.
Mr. Whelan communicated with
these, and received a telegram from
T. J. Tucker there this morning dir
ecting that Dormady be sent to Sioux
City on first train. Dormady claims
Tucker is his brother-in-law. He will
be sent to Sioux City tomorrow.
