Tuesday night about $50, after he
had retired, Mr.. Ham got up and left
the house with nothing on but his
nightshirt. He took with him a sheet
and blanket from the bed. His alb
sence was soon discovered by Mrs.
Ham, who aroused the neighbOrs and
party of Is or more started out in
search of the missing man. When
found he did not know where he was,
or how he came to be there. He ap-
parently had not laid down as his night
robe was wet only about the bottom,
whereas, the ground being still wet
from the shower of Tuesday afternoon
which was much heavier in Farming

would have been completely wet If he

bruised In several places, having been
through barbed wire fence and some
alder bushes. The sheet and blanket
were found in the alder bushes. The
searchers must have passed very near
him in their hunt but missed him in
the darkness.
He does not appear to have suffered
any i'll effects from the exposure, but
his escapade is a remarkable one IN
view of the fact that he has only been
able to sit up for portion of each day
for some time.
