BOUGHT A TICKET TO OMAHA
Mr.. Frank Hanes, a Forsyth Farmer,
Stopped Here.

Mr.. Frank Hanes, bachelor, who
owns fine farm in Clemmonsville
township, this county, came to Win
ston Friday morning and purchased a
ticket to Omaha, Nebraska. Police
man Hammer was advised by one of
Mr.. Hanes '~relatives that his mind is
affected and the officer was requested
to take charge of him and not allow
him to go off on the train. The Off
GER carried him to the police station
and then notified his relatives.
Mr.. Hanes is about 40 or so years
of age. He'is clever gentleman and
is said to be one of the most success
full farmers in the county. His mind
has not been exactly right for some
time. Several years ago he went
West and speculated in cattle. At
first he was successful and made quite
a sum of money, but later he lost
most of his wealth. He returned to
North Carolina and it is believed that
his losses while out West caused him
to lose his mind:
Mr.. Hanes relatives have made ap-
plication to get him in the hospital
at Morganton. A telegram was sent
to Supt. Murphy Friday afternoon
asking if he could take Mr.. Hanes now.
A reply came that evening stating that
the directors of the Asylum would
meet this week when it would be aScer-
tanned whether any more patients could
be received. Mr.. Hanes returned to his
home with relatives Friday evening.

Mr.. James Ledwel received a for
NAL discharge Saturday from the War
Department for his son, Mack Led
we'll, who volunteered and went away
with the Forsyth Rifemen. The
father says his boy is only Is years

It will be remembered that Mr.. Led
we'll went to Raleigh on the excursion

He telegraphed Col. Armfeld, of
the First Regiment, that the papers
had been received and that he had
forwarded them to him by mail.
The son, who is at Jacksonville,
will have to pay his fare home, which
will cost over ST., and will not receive
any pay for the time he has been with
the Rifemen. His father will proba-
bly, send him a ticket at once. None
of the boys have been paid yet.
A letter from J Jacksonville says that
two members of the Governor Guard
and three membere of the Goldsboro
Rifles have deserted and it is thought
that they are walking home. The
