TAKEN TO THE ASYLUM
Mrs. Ella Belau, of Sibley, Declared Insane
Taken to Independence Last Night
From Saturday's Daily.
Mrs. Ella Belau was yesterday found insane by the commissioners of insanity
and ordered taken to the hospital at Independence.
Mrs. Belau is the wife of Rev. Julius Belau, an Evangelical preacher, who
has a circuit in and around Sibley. He brought his wife here a short time
ago, when she began showing signs of insanity, in order to have the
assistance of his brothers here in taking care of her. He has made his home
with Gus Belau. The woman's insanity is hereditary, her father having died
insane and several of her sisters and brothers exhibiting traits of the
disease. She was in the asylum for a short time two years ago, but her
condition was such at that end of four months that she was allowed to return
home. Her reason was, however, never been very sound and a short time ago
she became violent. Her imagination led her into the belief that she was
possessed of an evil spirit and that she should join the Salvation army. A
ring which she wore was the object of special hatred since it was a thing of
satan. In her madness she kicked panels out of doors and broke lights out
of windows. Her relatives were at last no longer able to control her and
asked that she be sent to the asylum.
She imagined that she had another husband, Wm. Harrison, in eastern Iowa
whom she very much wished to see and under the belief that she was going to
see him she left in company with Sheriff Herron last night on the flyer,
seeming to be quite contented.
PRIESTLEY CASE CONTINUED
The $10,000 Damaged Suit Against the City of LeMars Will Not Be Tried Until
the May Term
From Saturday's Daily.
The Priestley damage suit has been continued on motion of plaintiff and will
not come up until next term.
The case was begun this morning at 9 o'clock and the work of securing a jury
begun. I. T. Martin assisted Hon. I. J. McDuffie for the defense. A jury
had nearly been secured when a message was received from Dr. C. J. Hackett,
one of the principal witnesses for the plaintiff, saying that owing to his
illness he would not be able to testify. His testimony was necessary to
prove the extent of Mrs. Priestley's injuries. The testimony could have
been duplicated by calling other physicians, but the plaintiff preferred to
move a continuance. The court granted the motion.

The Work of the Grand Jury Coming to Light. Joe Sweeney, Robt. Blumer, Ed
Lyons and Wm. Cunningham Give a Chance to Prove Their Innocence
From Tuesday's Daily.
The twelve indictments found by the February grand jury are slowly coming to
light. At the time of the adjournment of the jury absolutely nothing was
known of its action except the number of indictments returned. Since that
time nothing new has come to light until yesterday.
Sheriff Herron yesterday arrested four men on indictments charging them with
maintaining a nuisance. They were Joe Sweeney and Robt. Blumer, of Hinton,
Ed Lyons, of James, and Wm. Cunningham, of Kingsley. All of the men were
charged with running a saloon contrary to law.
Sweeney and Blumer were brought to LeMars this morning and waived
arraignment and plead guilty. Judge Gaynor fixed Friday at 2 p.m. as time
for judgment. They said they would give bail for appearance. Sweeney is a
young fellow well spoken of at Hinton, but although he does not himself
drink, runs a saloon of rather questionable character. It is, however,
discounted by Blumer's place, if the word of Hinton residents is to be taken
at par.
Ed Lyons, the fellow from James, has been arrested but has not yet made a
plea.
Wm. Cunningham, of Kingsley, is an old timer and his name is a familiar
sight on the criminal calendar at the courthouse. Last year he posed as a
reformer but this year has dropped back into his old tracks and gotten
himself in charge of the sheriff. He has not yet been arraigned.
The law breakers at Hinton and James not only sold without a license or tax,
but in an unincorporated town while Cunningham sold without bond or license
inside the town limits of Kingsley.
Six indictments are still left. It is said that they are along the same
lines of those already made public.

According to the city ordinance the new city council should not have been

business the council got down to work immediately. Wm. Lawrence was
nominated as treasurer by the mayor and the nomination was endorsed by the
council. T. N. Moore was appointed the city marshal for the ensuing year.
The school election last Monday was one of the hardest fought contests ever
indulged in by the citizens of this city. Although both candidates were in
favor of enlarging the present school building and reorganizing the entire
school, the people took sides and worked hard for their choice. Eighty-five
votes were cast of which Jas. T. Harker received 42, P. Ausman 42 and John
Erpelding 1. It will be seen by the above that no candidates received a
majority and according to the law the matter will be decided by casting lots
at the regular meeting for organizing next Monday. But thee is liable to be
a contest as the polls were closed at about 5 p.m. while the law says:
(Section 1789) "In all independent districts having a population of three
hundred and upwards, the polls shall remain open from twelve o'clock to
seven p.m." Now what's to be done? The legal lights of the city are in a
quandary.

Cunningham on a charge of keeping money that did not belong to him. It
seems that some time ago Wm. Cunningham gave McMahan what at the time he
supposed was a nickel but what proved to be a five dollar gold piece.
McMahan was taken to LeMars for trial before a justice of the peace, it is
supposed in order to make as much trouble and costs as possible. This
arrest is now doubt in retaliation for the indictment of Cunningham as
McMahan was the principal witness against him before the grand jury.
Probably the end is not yet.
