taken with a severe headache and
told his boss he was going home and
go to bed. The boss went to the
house toward evening to inquire how
Ed was getting along.
He was informed that Ed had not
been home and search was made at
once for him. Late in the evening
he was found wandering around in a
corn field near Leon. When found
he did not know anyone.
He was brought to this city and is
at the John Hamilton home where he
is being cared for. At this writing
he is much better and will no doubt
in short time be able to be about.
