LOST REASON IN BLIZZARD
Montana Man, Mourned as Dead
Since Last October, Turns
Up at Casper, Wyo.

Helena, Mont, May SIT. E. Heath
Of Litehield, n. D., who arrived in
Helena today, brought the news that
his brother, Harry Heath, a mining
man at UniOnviIle, Mont, four miles
south of here, who was lost in a bliZ-
zard last November and since mourned
as dead by his wife and children, is
alive and we'll in Casper, WyO.
The last that Mrs. Heath saw of her
/ husband was on Oct. last when, with
his camp and kit, he set out for the
Dearborn country to hunt big game.
His camp was on the Middle Fork Of
the Dearborn on the Hartgrove ranch
His trail was found across the divide
into the BlaCkfOOt country, and search
ing parties from the ranch spent weeks
IN vain efforts to find traces of the lost
hunter.
One week ago Mrs. Heath received a
letter postmarked Casper, Wyo., and
signed by a ranchman named McWil-
liams, who told her that he had new S
Of her missing husband. Mrs. Heath
then wrote to 7. Z. Heath, her hus-
bands brother, an operator at Itch
field, n. d. The brother at once set
out for Casper, WyO., and today ar
rived in Helena with the news that
Harry Is well and will soon return
home.
T. z. Heath states that his brother
cannot recall what happened after he
had become lost in the blizzard. When
he recovered his faculties he was weak
and vacant-minded, but safe in 4 SAN
itarium at Minneapolis. There the rec
ord Of the case shows that he was
brought I'm by train crew with the
report that he was picked UP in u biz
card some distance from Great Falls,
Mont.
As reason returned he picked up the
thread Of his past life, and he appealed
to McWilliams, an old schoolmaJe, who
sent him means and a welcome.
