SERIOUS CONDITION OF ENGLE.
The Somnambulist's Feet May Have
to Be Amputated.

The condition of Jacob Engle, the l6-
year-old son of Peter Engle, of 925
Meadow avenue, who was found lying
Wednesday in the woods near Lake
Scranton, unconscious from long eX-
posure to the cold with no other pro-
lection than a thin night robe, is quiet
serious.
His fees are badly cut and bruised
from his long tramp over the sharp
rocks and frozen fields in the somnam-
bulstic state, and in all probability
il will be found necessary TO amputate
them.
Engle was still unable to give an
account of his wanderings when seen
by a Tribune reporter yesterday and
appeared to have much difficulty In
grasping even the simplest questions.
He remembers having gone out in his
bare feet and going to Dutch Hollow"
but how he got there he doesn't pre-
tend to understand.
Despite the suffering from his feet, he
regards the idea of walking out in his
bare feet for a stroll on wintry night
as being highly humorous and could
not prevent himself from smiling while
telling the reporter about II.
