Hot Springs.-About two weeks ago
a demented man was found wandering
in the vicinity of Ardmore and when
captured was so violent that it took
several men to handle him and bring
him to Hot Springs. Lately his mind
has appeared to become normal as
TO every day affairs. but is a blank as
to the past and attempts to discover
his name or where he came from have
failed. He has at different times re-
called places where he has been, but
can give no particulars as to time
or what he was doing When a flash
of the past comes to him he becomes
so excited in his apparent efforts to
recall that there is relapse and he
is apparently no nearer locating him
self than he was at the beginning. He
seems to be an educated man, using
good language, and is fine musician.
The man is apparently Is years old,
weighs 14O pounds, has dark hair and

pispos,na of carca.ses.

The question of disposal Of the car
casses Of dead animals is one which
is of interest to all agricultural COM
munities. An inquiry comes to the
state legal department as to charges
and the liability Of the same under
such conditions. Apparently the coun-
ty officials ordered the owners of dead
animals to bury the same. and then
went no further than the giving Of the
orders, but they continued their &C.
ton as to bill for such procedure.
and an attempt was made to recover
the same from the owner OF the ami.
NAL 1t is held that there can be no
such recovery, unless the owner re.
fuses to bury the carcass. and the
county employs someone to carry out
this part of the law. In such case
where burial has been at county ex.
pense there is provision for recovery.
but not until that stage has been
reached.

to warrant his being taken before the

was charged with stealing $500 from
his mother while they were travelling
together.
