Dr. David Brewster, who served in the army medical corps during the war, and now a resident of Montrose, testified for the defense. He said he treated mental cases for two years in the service.

News Brief: Potato prices have ceased to soar, New York markets report. The first of the week prices had dropped to $1.00 a bushel. It is believed that this is temporary and prices will mount soon, as the supply is only for the time being in excess of the demand. Some of the potatoes purchased have been found frozen by October’s early freeze and this has a tendency to make buyers wary.
