PASADENA

PASADENA, Oct. 26.-CRegular Cor
respondence) Wilson ]. Lee, the young
plasterer who left home without warn
ing Wednesday afternoon, arrived home
late last night. He can remember
nothing of what happned to him from
the time he left home Wednesday after
noon to come down town to buy his wife
20 cents worth of thread. He thinks
that he rode his wheel too hard, which
caused the blood to rush to his head and
render him temporarily out of his mind.
From remarks which he made to a man
who picked him up three miles from
Elsinore, where he had fallen, it is
thought that Lee went to Chino and
worked two or three days in the beet
fields there. He had $1.S5 and a bicycle
pump and wrench in his pocket when
found. 1t is presumed that these rep
resent his earnings. Lee, who has a
brother at Elsinore, was picked up in
ditch on Saturday by a friend. He was
taken to this friends house and was Of
fered food, which he refused. Lee will
rest up a bit for few days and take
medical treatment. He does not like to
talk of his hallucination and regrets it
greatly.
