Bison Has Much Trouble

William Bison, formerly a
resident of Grangeville but who
has been an inmate of the Oro-
fino asylum for the past few
months. escaped from that in
stitution last week and was later
found near Reubens by Constable
Sam Gardner. Bison was but
very lightly clothed and was ap-
parently half starved and in a
pitiable condition when found.
That night he escaped from the
Gardner home and was pursued
for several miles before being
recaptured. During the pursuit
Gardner fired his shotgun at
what he supposed to be some
animal in a brush thicket and
Bison got part of the charge in
his face. Bison left the Gard
ner home without his shoes and
when he was finally caught near
Craig junction his feet were
frozen, one finger was broken
and his face was peppered with
fine bird shot. He was taken to
Lewiston the next morning
where his injuries were dressed
and he was later returned to the
asylum.
