A Sad Case.
Deputy Sheriff Finnerty, of
Ellsworth, arrived in Worthington Monday afternoon, having in custody Miss Kate
O'Hern, who was suddenly bereft of natural reason at Wahpeton, N.D., and brought
here for an investigation into her sanity. The circumstances leading up to her
affliction are extremely sad. It seems that the young lady had been visiting
relatives in and around Whapeton and Breckenridge, when she was taken sick and
the illness left her in a weakened mental condition. Some ten or twelve years
ago she was attacked in a similar manner, but a short period of treatment
restored her to her normal self and it is hoped that treatment at the state
hospital at St. Peter where she was taken Tuesday, will have a beneficial effect
this time. Sheriff Fauskee and Mrs. Anderson accompanied her to St. Peter.
