had a job spelling the soldiers names.
Since then he has been getting crazier

him TO be at large. He was likely to
go off his head entirely, in which case
there is no telling what he might do.
IL was thought best to have him sent
to the asylum, 50 Tuesday Deputy
Sheriff Hardin took him to Silver
City. In order to get him to travel
without any trouble Hardin told him
that he had a telegram from the SOL

over to Silver City and fix up the
moon, which had broken down. He
was willing to go, saying that liking
the moon was his trade, all he wanted
was some one to hold it. Hardin
wanted TO bundle up some of his

Dave warned him not to touch them,
saying everything would fall to pieces
