Enid Wave: This week. Rev. c. Z.

for treatment underline physicians there.
About two weeks ago the boy went IN
bathing in a creek near his parents
home, southwest of Alva. II seems he
remained in the water too long with the
hot sun pouring down on his head, which
caused him to become overhsated- His
mind has not been right since then, and
under the advice OF the family doctor he
was taken there and placed in the Farm
ers hotel. In the night some time the
boy escaped by breaking out window
pane. through which he reached the roof
OF the porch, from which he jumped. As
soon as his parents discovered his escape
they spread the alarm and il was not
long until the officers and several citizens
were securing the city and outskirts for
him. About II O'Clock Tuesday morning
he was found walking around IN de-
nented condition among the canyons east
OF the city, having IN his possession
small rifle which he is supposed TO have
taken from the hotel. He was soon cap
tilred and returned TO the city.
