way, and has since been as strong
as the average man. He had taken
n land claim, and came to the land
office Wednesday to see about it.
In some transaction with the OFF,
cials, which he probably did not
understand, he conceived the idea
that he was being defrauded, and
was seized with a fit of passion
almost bordering upon insanity,
and Immediately commenced to
talk "blue streak.n His conver-
sation was disconnected, but every
word was articulated as plainly as II
he had never been deprived of the
power of speech. He has since been
able to talk readily, and seems to be
making up for lost time.
A singular feature of the affair Is
that his conversation is principally
upon topics that were prominently
before the public at the time he lost
his speech.
The theory of the physician who
is attending the man ut La Grande
Is that part of the brain controlling
the vocal organs had become para.
lyzed during his long sickness, and
had again been stimulated to action
by violent passion.
