DIR. w. G. Lyle, the physician in at
tendance upon Mr.. Hartman, made a
flying trip to New York last night.
So far as known here DR.. Lyle's visit
to the city had not been contemplated
and this fact led to reports that the
of his patients case since his return
to Arden and had gone to New York
to place his conclusion before special
lists.
Mr.. Hartman continues to devote his
time to resting and he sleeps consid-
erably during the daytime.
Lovett Can't Be Found.

been received at the Union Pacific
