ing trades secretay, and E. A. Clancy,

ney Hovey's request for separate fill
ing of demurrers to the indictments,

cused men.
Upon the recommendations of Miller,
the court dismissed the indictment
against S. Patrick Ryan, Chicago busi-
ness agent of the Iron Workers; J. w.

that the Imperial Valley Cotton Ex-

YOUNG MANS MIND IS
BLANK; NAME FORGOTTEN

There is a remarkable case of lost
identity which has been discovered in
the case of a strange young man.
He drifted into the sheriffs office this
the deputies began to interrogate him.
from which the fact was developed
that the young man, apparently neari,
so years old, did not know his. own
name nor anything of his past. Deputy
sheriff Killgore took him to the office
Of County Physician NcCombs, where
he was carefully interrogated and rhe
contents of his pockets examined
All That the young man knew Of
himself was thar he was employed as
a cook in a Brawiey hotel and that he
had gone 10 Imperial. and On leaving
Imperial he had started for Erawley
hut had arrived here last evening. He
had no money and had put up a gold
fountain pen as security for Il nights
lodging at hotel This morning oi,
coming out he had drifted about town.
and had accidentally gone to the sher-
IFS office.
In the young mans pocket was a
postal card. evidently for his wife. ad-
dressed to Mrs. w. F.. Sturtevent. but
no town was given. The message car
ried the information that they had d
child, but the card had evidently been
written by him before his mind became
a blank, and he had not later mailed
ii nor finished the address. He did not
know whether that was his name, but
there was also found in his posses
sion receipts from the Ea giles lodge at
Elbe, Wash. made out to w. F. Stur-
tevant, and also a pawn ticket, issued
by Los Angeles pawn shop for
watch. in the same name From this
il appears that but a few days ago he
was in that city.
The young man will be turned over
to the Eagles lodge in the hope that
they can put his relatives in communi-
cation with hm.
The sherff's office today wired to his
home Eagles lodge stating the case
and asking for instructions. Mean
while he is being kept under surveil-
ance. without being held by the sheriff
While his mind is a blank, he talks
nationally of present events, and is
respectable looking young fellow, by
no means of the hobo type.
