Joshua Miller, a woodsman, who has been employed at one of camps on the north line was found wandering about at Nymore yesterday in a demented condition and was taken into custody and brought to this city. Last night he had an examination was adjudged insane and his disposition will be fixed by the board of control as he is a non resident.
Miller’s case is an unfortunate one. He simply appears to have lost his mind and can remember nothing. During all of Thursday’s snow storm and all of Thursday night he wandered about in the woods near Nymore. Both of his feet are badly frozen and he
is in a bad condition. Dr. Blakeslee is attending him for the present. (Bemidji Pioneer, April 16, 1904)
