 Mr. Cornctt who is v years of age, has been making his home in Springdale for some eighteen months past, and for several months has been stopping at the Frisco Hotel
 He had no apparent means of sup port, but spent his time in an effort to market patent gate. He had contracted a number of small debts, necessary for his living expenses, uidating same, several days ago he attempted to commit suicide by jump ing in the creek down near the old Stultz mill north of town. He was rescued in an almost lifeless condi- tion. Before his attempted self-de- struction he had prepared an itemiz- ed statement of all his debts, which was found by those who rescued him.
 Mir. Cornett refused to tell any thing of his past life or the where abouts of any member of his fam fly. Soon after coming to Springdale he called oh l.. D. Petross, and in conversation with the latter told him that more than thirty years ago be- fore the coming of the railroad he travelled through this section, engag- ed in buying and selling stock. Dur ing those days he stopped at the old Gladden. Hotel, and MT. Petross was the only old resident that he could call to mind. Through Mr. Cornett, MT Petross became acquainted with a Mr Budd at Mena, who travelled with MT. Cornett in his pilgrimages through this section years ago. Aft ter Mr Cornett's attempted suicide MT Petross and MT. Budd began a systematic effort to locate his family. The family at one tine resided at St. John, Kan, going from there to Min neapolis, Minn., thence to Denver, Colorado. AS soon as 1HlOTlHdllOH was received of the whereabouts of MT Cornett a son, Robert C. Cornett, started for Springdale, arriving Wednesday noon. From him it was learned that MT. Cornett had been lost to the family for twelve years, having left when they resided at St. Jonn, Kan. They had advertised eX- tensively in the daily newspapers, but could find no trace of him.
 Young MT. Corneu Is prosperous business man at Denver, and has a brother in Denver and his mother Is also living in that city. He paid up all the bills that had been contract ed by his father, and left with him or the afternoon train for Denver. MT. Cornett was very much opposed to going, and told some of his friends here that he would go part of the way with his son and would then re- turn His mind is affected at times.
