vinton and His Life Story is Re.
veaIed-Loss Of Wife Drives Him to
Drink and to Become Almost a Tramp.

vinton, July GA few days ago a
man, who could claim little more than
belonging to the ancient order of
tramphood, who had less than the price
OF one days lodging on his person,
drifted into town and asked for lodging
at the Downs hotel, and was accom-
modated by the proprietor. In short
time the tramp became sick and a ply
sician was called who ministered to
him. 1t was soon learned that he had
been at Traer and on further inquiry it
was found that he was DIR. j. d. Thorn
ton of Kansas City. who was formerly
one of the most prominent physicians
of that city. His wife died some years
ago, after which the doctor became adj
dicted to the drink habit and has be-
come great wanderer. AS soon as his
folks heard of his whereabouts they
came after him and chartered a special
train on the Rock Island road and hur-
ried him home as fast as possible. His
family is very wealthy.
The run of $50 miles was a race with
death during the greater part of the
way, for three times during the trip
DR.. Thorton had sinking spells and
was kept alive thru The injection of
powerful drugs. Special instructions
were given the train crew to avoid
any lurching of the train and to be
careful in going over switches and
crossings.
A clear right of-way was given the
train, and the care which the train
crew used did not permit record
breaking schedule, but according to
DR.. A. j. Maris, who accompanied DR..
Thorton, probably saved his life. Mrs.
Minor, the wife of DR.. w. r. Minor, of
Kansas City, with a nurse, made up
the party.

his powerful racing automobile at

was so badly damaged that it could
not be repaired.

the plans for his new machine and he
expects to build this flyer here at Clear
Lake. If local men will furnish part
of the capital he will erect the aero
plane and give flights at Mason City
