Asylum Escapes at The Dalles.

Some time between 2 and o'clock
this morning, trainmen down in the
company's yard noticed three men
wandering about down there and act
ing very queer. They finally called
the night watchman and ]. II. Har-
per and John Moabus, who are act
ing during the absence of the regu-
lar officers. Gibbons and Crate, went
down and found one man in the sand
pit the others being nowhere to be
seen.
Examining the fellow they dis
covered that he wore a number 2S.
such as are worn by patients in the
various wards of the asylum. He
then, upon being questioned, said his
name was Bert Wright and that he
had been committed to the asylum
from Pendleton. but with two other
men had escaped last Wednesday.
That the other men were with him,
but he didn't know where they were
then. They are Arthur Taylor from
Baker City, and Charles Westphal,
from Portland. He talks very ration
al and speaking of his condition said
he was only crazy at times, mostly
when the weather was very hot, then
no one could do anything with him.
He also said that they had tramped
from Salem and were on their way to
the harvest fields. Being foot sore
and afraid the hot sun in the harvest
fields would affect him, Wright said
he'd rather be taken back to the asy-
lum from here. "You know" he said,
"If get away out in the country and
get crazy they'll have to send so far
for an attendant to come and get me-"
Harper put him in the city Jail and
Moabus and Joe Crate started out in
search of the other men, but they
have not been found.-The Dalles
