NEWSPAPER "AD" UNlTEs THEM
Benton County Authorities Seek Rela
tives When James McCarty Became
III and They Come to His Bedside
McCarty Left Home After Quarrel
With His Wife.
Special to Times Republican.


Nintou. April 1.-James McCarty, an
inmate of the Benton county home.
was united with his family after TWEEN
ty-nine years of separation, yesterday
afternoon, when two of his daughters,
who had learned of their fathers
whereabouts and physical condition.
rushed from Illinois to greet their faith
en- whom they had not heard from
since their early childhood.
The story revealed by this meeting
is long and interesting. Twenty mine
wears ago McCarty had some trouble
with his wife. On the pretense OF go
ing rabbit hunting he picked up his
gun and walked from the house, and
was not heard from by his family again
until they read of his condition as an
inmate of the county home here in one
of the GaeSburs papers. AT the time
he left, his family was resident OF
Mechanicsvillc Iowa. Extensive ad-
vertising was resorted to by the moth
err and children to find him. but finally
they gave up discouraged, and took it
for granted that he must have met
with foul play After leaving home.
McCarty, who was then 80 years OF
age, wandered about the country, nnal-
" settling down at Belle Plai1re, in
this county, where he has resided ever
since, up to four years ago, when he
met with an accident, breaking his
collar bone. Having no particular
friends or any known relatives In the
vicinity, he was brought to the county
home and taken care of. Several weeks
ago he was taken very sick. and the
superintendent of the home, Mr.. Eli
OFT. made an effort to locate some OF
his relatives. An advertisement insert
ed in a Galesburg paper was seen by
some of the members of the family,
who Immediately came to Nlnton ana
with no delay got to the BEDSIDE OIL
their aged and feeble father. The
members of the family who came here
were Mrs James Minehan and Mrs. f.
Morrisey. Mrs. Morrisey was but eight
wears of age when her father lett
home, ard the other daughter but ID.
1t is thought that the old gentleman
will recover f rom his present illness,
and it is the intention of the family to
send out his son for him later and take
him back to Illinois to unite again
with his aged wife and see that he
gets the best of care hereafter.

WHITE DEER WAS STONE DEAF.
Remarkable Animal Encountered by
Hunters In the Woods of Maine.

Speaking of blindness, deafness and
dumbness among cats and dogs, DR..
H. D. Gill, veterinary surgeon and
horseman. told incidentally of a re-
markable wild animal, a deer, that
was once encountered by two friends
Of his who were hunting near Moose
head lake in Maine.
Out with a guide, the hunters came
to a spot from which they could see
within shooting distance four deer
grazing, n Of the four being white,
an albino. The hunters fired and shot
two Of the deer Of natural color, the
third one at the report Of the guns
springing away to safety, while the
white deer remained stock still.
The wind was toward the hunters
and they had not been heard or
scented, and apparently the white deer
had not heard the guns. But in a mo-
ment it turned. it's head and then it
bounded away after the other surviv-
ing deer.
It seemed clear to guide and hunt
ers that the white deer was stone
deaf.
