OVER ] ! / ! night


.MOORHEAD, March 20.-William
Humphrey, ST., father .of DR.. q. w
Humphrey; and Will sHumphrey, Jr.,
was found BY q I newsb6y, lying on
the sidewalk in q state OF uncon'
sciousness, about 6:3v o'clock this
morning, at a point on Sixth street
south, near the home of Chief Nc,
Laughlin. There was small wound
on Mr.. Humphreys head, evidently
caused by his falling GOWN and the
body was num0 With co'l.
Friends were quickly advised and
Mr.. Humphrey was taken to the
Northwestern hospital. where his ly.
ing in very precarious condition
and suffering intensely from the re.
suit of the nights exposure. He must
have lain where he was found from
shortly after II o'clock last night un.
til the time he was seen by the news
boy about $3.50 o'clock this morning.
Mr.. Humphrey attended the enter
tainment at St. Joseph's hall last
night and parties remember seeing
him leave the hall. Later he was
seen in the vicinity Of the First Ma.
tional bank and he was seen trying
to get aboard a normal line car to
take him home, but he missed that
one and was heard to say that he
would wait for the next one.
AS it is very common for Mr.. Hum
phrey to be very unrestful at differ
ent periuus during the night and that
he sits up in other places than his
room, nothing was thought of the
fact that he was not seen in his room
by those last retiring last night. The
case Is an unfortunate one and one
that is likely to happen despite all
the care that is taken. Everything
possible is being done for the unfor-
tunate man and the hope is enter
tanned that he will survive the terri
bic exposure to which he was sub
jected.
