SHE ONCE LIVED HERE
Mrs. C. S. Borup, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. G Davison, of Gold Point, died last February at Dainty's hospital for the Insane at Lethbridge, Alberta. The husband has since gone to South America.
Mr. Borup lived near Blackfoot for many years and was well known among the stockmen although he was not much of a stockman himself. He removed to Alberta, did not get along well there, is said to have mistreated his wife so much that a separation was considered, and on the 17th of February he laid information with the office of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police charging insanity, which was confirmed, and she died a few days after being committed to the hospital.
Mr. and Mrs. Davison are very much grieved over the matter. They have been kept in ignorance of the daughter's fate until a few days ago, when information was obtained from the Mounted Police through inquiries sent out by this office and by W. D. Trego at Gleichen, Alberta.

The Idaho Statesman , June 17, 1899:
A warrant has been issued for the arrest of Samuel Borup, who lives near Ross Fork, the seat of government of the Fort Hall Indian reservation. Borup is wanted on two charges of assault with a deadly weapon. It is a government case and officers are on the lookout for the fellow. The assault was committed up the reservation and three members of the Indian police force comprise the force assaulted by him.
It seems Borup had been herding cattle on the reservation, and the police were sent out to nab him. When the trio swooped down on Borup he pulled a revolver and threatened to shoot them if they advanced. One of the Indians managed to slip around behind Borup while the other two attracted his attention and throwing his arms around the fellow made him a prisoner and took his gun away from him.
This happened not a great ways from Borup's house, which was on the bank of the river on the opposite side from the point where the arrest was made. His children ran down to the bank and commenced to cry, whereupon Borup asked the Indians to allow him to go to them, expressing a fear that some of them might venture too far and drown. He said he would come right back. And the foolish Indians allowed him to go. And that was the last they saw of him. The warrant was secured from the United States commissioner at Blackfoot.
