WANTS TO Find
A LOST BROTHER
Mrs. Ida French Writes to Parties in
keokuk in Effort to Locate
whereabouts Of VIM.
Horn.
DEATH CAUSED PARTING
Mother Of Large Family Passed Away
and Caused Disunion Among
the Many Mem
bers.

Separated in early infancy from the
members of her family because of the
death of her mother, Mrs. Ida French,
R. F. d. 2, Kiowa, Kansas, is seeking
to locate her brother. William, thought
to be the only other surviving member
of the family of Mr.. and Mrs. John Fl.
Horn, who lived in this vicinity num-
bers of years ago.
1t is not because her brother Is to
come in for large share Of bulky
estate, but simply sisterly love that
has led Mrs. French to write letters
to parties in Keokuk for information,
and it is possible that she has written
hundreds of them and will pen hun
dreds more before her brother, If he is
alive today, is located. /.
Mr. and Mrs. John H. Horn lived in
Warsaw, ILL.,, shortly after their mar
riage and were the parents Of five
children. The death of the mother OF
this large family was the cause of a
sorrowful separation. Mrs. French
was taken to live with family In
Missouri, but what part of the state
she does not say in her letter. Her
sister Emma went to live with fam
! ily in North Missouri and it is to be
presumed that she has since died. The
three sons were scattered to the four
winds, word being received some years
later that John had died of an cpl
demic. The father later found his way
into the Old Soldiers Home, Quincy,
H., and word Of his death in 1885 was
learned.
What has become of the one remain
ing brother William is deep mys-
terry and one that Mrs French would
relinquish much to be able to solve.
Any word of his whereabouts would be
gladly received by her.

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City, June 3-Literally eating
its fingers and toes, twenty month
old babe in the university hospital
furnishes the most unique case ever
treated in the local institution. The
child's name is Roy Harkless but his
home is kept secret by the hospital
authorities.
In the history of the local clinic there
has never been similar case. The
child cries when the bandages are APP
piled to its hands and feet and when
first brought to the hospital the child
succeeded in tearing away the cotton
fastening and in gnawing at the stubs
of bone.
The toes of the baby are in the same
condition as the hands. The flesh had
been torn away and Inflammation set
in before the child was brought to the
hospital.
The physicians are baffled by the at
Fiction. No name has been found for
the habit and no method has been
found to stifle the continuous longing
of the infant to dig away with its baby
teeth on the tender flesh
That there is no feeling in the in
jured members is self evident or the
child would stop because of the pain.
However, whether the child can be
cured is the subject interesting the 10
cal physicians at the present time.
