Lieut.. Patrick O'Brien, an American
member of the British flying corps,
who was brought down in one-sided
battle by the Germans, and who had
been taken into Germany on his way to
prison camp, jumped from a train

to England.
OBrien was reported missing last
August II, and his temperance was
a great surprise to his friends. On
the morning of August II enemy gum
ners forced him to land, but fortunate
ly he got back to his own lines. Later
in the day he was again flying over the
enemy lines and he, with five other
machines, was engaged by 20 German
airplanes. O'Brien alone engaged four
of them. He accounted for one Of the
machines before he was shot In the lip.
He fell with his damaged plane 5000
feet. He cannot explain why he was
not killed.

When he regained consciousness
OBrien was in a German war hospital.
Later, when he was being taken into
Germany, he jumped from the moving
train, and by walking at night, swim
ming rivers and subsisting only on
food that he could get from the fields,
he managed to reach Holland.
He was fugitive for Y days. He
had a narrow escape when he was in
sight of his goal. To circumvent
charged wires O'Brien built a bridge
with nearby wood and threw it across
the wires. It broke under his weight,
and O'Brien says that he can still feel
the shock. He dug tunnel with his
hands under the wires and he was
free.
A brief telegram was received by
his mother, Mrs. Margaret O'Brfen.

Germans, and that he soon would be

AUTO AFTER JACK RABBIT
Wheel Came off, There Was Wreck
and No Joke,

A curiosity to time a Jack rabbit
with tested speedometer resulted in
the wrecking of an automobile near
Topeka, Kan, one night recently.
w. f. Haafe, an automobile agent at
Natoma, was on his way to Kansas
City, and as the road was good, was
keeping up about all the law permits in
the way of speed, when jack rabbit
chose the same route. Haafe thought
it would be a joke to make the rabbit
take q siding, and ran his speedometer
up to within so per cent of it's adver-
tised ability. But having chosen east
as his general direction and that par
ticular road as his route, the rabbit
continued to plod along at little bet
ter than so miles an hour.
The rabbit did not turn out, but a
portion Of the pursuing car did. After
he had crawled out Of ditch and
twisted himself into shape, Haafe
caught car into Topeka, where he
waited until daylight to hunt wheel,
which had left the general wreckage
and taken refuge in a corn field.

taker Proves to Be Soldier, Prob
ably Insane.

Columbus, O.-John Davis, caretak
er of Walnut Hill cemetery, Hamlin
township, never believed in ghosts, but
he did have "spooky" experience.
Davis was strolling through the Gem.
etery when he happened to see fig
ure sitting on tombstone. Close In
spection showed it to be man with
only blanket thrown around his
shoulders. His clothes were lying In
heap at his feet.
AS Davis approached, the figure
arose and inquired ii the referee was
coming. Davis said he didn't know,
but would go hunt him. However, the
man intimated that was unnecessary
and said he wanted to have little box
ing match.
Davis brought the man to the coun-
ty Jail, where an examination of his
clothes brought out enlistment papers
for the army. It was decided to hold
an inquest for lunacy.
