IN A DAzED CONDITION
William Wheat of Murray Remains
? in Sort of Trance for
Thirty-six Hours.

After practically dropping thirty-six
hours out of his existence. William
Wheat aged 80 years. and an employee of
the A S & R. plant at Murray. was sent
night.
Wheats queer actions on Friday led 20
ans being taken TO the hospital at Murray.
He was found wandering around in a
ddZed condition and when questioned his
replies were incoherent and rambling. He
could not recall his name or any past
facts, and showed that he was the victim
of complete loss of memory.
He was taken to the hospital. and it was
only last night that he began to return
to a normal condition. His ailment. how
ever. is still ineXDliCable to the attend
ing physicians. although il is thought to
have been the result of a former attack
of apopleXy.
Upon MS recovery yesterday his condi-
ton was as much a puzzle to him il
had been to the doctors. He could realize
nothing of the time during which ne had
been in the trance. and the hours Of that
time to him represent oblivion.

BOY LONGS FOR Mother
Youthful Traveller Encounters Diff
culties of Which He Did Not
Dream When He Left Home.

When 4-year-old Freddie Summers
started out from Colorado Springs short
time ago to seek his father in Nevada, it
was with the brave heart of the youth
unafraid of the world. few days of
the battle, which left him stranded in Salt
Lake, however. took the courage out of
him. and last night he was nothing but
the boy. crying again for his home with
his mother
The story of Fred's travels is the IA
miliar one of many lads. BY the time he
had worked his way 10 Salt Lake he had
not only found that the travelling was
entirely different from the pictured stories
of how easily Dick Hathaway" and some
of the other of the popular dime Vari-
ETY. conquered the world. but that home
was. after all, the best spot.
Freddie. after being aided by a kind
hearted woman. wanted to go home again,
and took the chance of Il freight only to
be put off before he had gone a mile
Last night he appealed TO the police, and
now Lieutenant Shannon is aiding him
and Freddie will likely be back with his
mother in a day or two.

At the Grand there was a total of 1SS

complaint by his wife with desertion
and non-support On May 90 the hus-
band filed an answer in which he set
up that his wife was so untidy a house
keeper that their home became unsani-
tary. He often, very often, he said in
his answer, came home and found the
house locked and the wife absent and
no sign of a m cal
Naturally, this led to quarrels, and
on Nov. 16, 1907, his wife ordered him
to leave the house and go back to his
parents, which he did. The contention
of the wife in her complaint was that
this leave-taking was desertion, in

hence.

as a separation, but she got no ali
mOny.

The straw vote taken by The Herald at
the Orpheum theatre Thursdayq evening
was confirmed in even larger degree by
the vote taken at the Grand and Lyric
theatres last night. Not only did VIII
liam Jennings Bryan poll a much stronger
vote than did any of the other presiden-
tial candidates. but Jesse William Knight
clearly showed that he is the choice OF
the great majority of the voters of Salt
Lake City for governor. The audiences
We're absolutely representative OF the
voters of Salt Lake and no previous no
tice. was given that a poll would be
were collected during the intermission be-
tween the second and third acts and
great care was taken TO allow only those
of sufficient age to qualify as voters to
mark The Herald ballots The vote at
the Grand theatre was counted under the
supervision of Manager Cox, and Mr.. Cox
authorizes The Herald to make the state
ment that the audience was thoroughly
representative one and that the ballots
were counted under his supervision and
that the totals as printed above are cor
rect.
At the Lyric the ballots were distrib-
uted the audience entered, and boxes
were provided for the reception OF the
ballots as each voter left the theatre No
ballots were given TO any of the audience
not over p years of age. Manager John
y. Clark OF the Lyric makes the follow
ing statement concerning the vote:
Il was present when the straw vote was
NhheU anu t0uultl OdluiuGg tNGlllLbs OG-
toher "a at the New Lyric theatre. ard
can certify that the Vote and count was
entirely fair and no public announcement
was previously made. The audience was
a representative one"
Knight Wins Easily.
As in the vote taken at the Orpheum
theatre. Knight ran far in advance of
the other candidate for governor. There
was decidedly noticeable inclination on
the part of the voters to couple Taft and
Knight. and both Spry and Street fell
far below the number of votes cast for
the Democratic candidate.
The Socialist vote was strongly repre-
sentcd and many of the votes for Street
for governor came from the voters who
chose Debs for president.
As in the vote at the Orpheum, most
of the votes came in pairs. and the bal
.lotin@ of the female element of the au-
dIerce was plainly perceptible. The vote
WIS not taken in a light way. and the
intermissions at both theatres We're oc-
-cupied by violent political discussions.
Workers for Taft were prominent among
the audience and did all in their power
TO influence the vote taken. There was
