| GAYS have elapsed since the patient
was picked up and he has not yet re-
coved sufficiently to tell anything about
himself. He stares blankly at the doc
tors when they ask him 9uestlons; ~,
Fox weighs nearly 200 pounds, his
complexion is clear and physically he
is almost a perfect specimen of man
hood He wears brown moustache
His clothing is of good quality and the
man has probably seen prosperous
days. He may be prosperous mer-
chant or even a millionaire. He GER
| tainly is well educated.
At his watch chain he wore mason
lie charm. but he is unable to tell the
name or number OF the lodge to which
he belongs On sheets of paper which
he evident secured in Albuquerque,
n. M, appears poem. AS IL was
written with a lead pencil Chief In
terne Alquist inclined to believe that
Fox was the author. It 1t as follows:
POEM ON MASONRY.
In Masons' lodge, with darkened eyes
And cable tow about me,
/ swore to hail all mysteries
That Masons keep and MasonS prize
All brothers secrets. whispered low,
All words they speak. all things they do,
In mystic ma +: taught me-
l swore TO ans Ter and obey
All summons made me duly
By brothers hand or lodge array.
L swore that would never stray
From ancient laws and rules that bound
Free Masons in the days renowned,
But would observe them truly.
On yonder book this oath took,
And will break it never;
/ stand by this and this and this,
Forever and forever
/ swore to deal IN honesty
With Masons all around me.
That honor bright should always be
An unbroken bond 'twtxt them and me,
Nor guile, nor wrong, nor cruel fraud
Should break or loose that holy cord
With which my vows have bound me.
| swore to act in charity with Masons poor
and suffering,
NV brother on miSfortune's square,
His widow with disheveled hair.
His helpless orphans doomed to stray
Along life's cold and gloomy way,
No hope comfort Offering.
(Chorus)
| swore to shield the chastity
or women true and tender,
Though sweet and innocent whose love
Makes Masons' homes like that above,
| am the sworn defender.
L swore to guard the portals close
OF the Masonic temple,
To purge the quarries of their dross
And build the mystic walls of those
In body perfect, honest heart
And mind mature in moral art
By precept and example.
(Chorus.)
These were our vows, be these our care,
And may such light be given
In answer to our faithful prayer
That we may always do and dare
All that Gods gracious laws enjoin,
So that when LIES last shades decline
We may be found in heaven.
(Chorus)
The doctors diagnosed Fox's case
yesterday and concluded that he was
suffering from Inflammation of the
small blood vessels of the brain. They
say that he will soon recover. In the
meantime all efforts to locate the rel
atives or learn something of his past
history have been fruitiess.
THEORY OF HYPNOTISM.
A new theory has arisen, however,
that is believed by some of the doctors.
1t is that Fox's condition is result of
hypnotism. That he is either obeying
suggestion that his mind is blank
or was improperly awakened from
trance. Today experiments will be
made to fully investigate this theory.
The diagnosis of inflsmed blood vessels
WAS Only a puess after careful ex
