Insane Man Is
Found Near KiddviIle

Edward G. Tracy, who escaped
from the Eastern Kentucky State
Hospital for the Insane, was found
in this county near Kiddville. Sunday
He was wandering around seemingly
in dazed condition, entering homes
and acting in a suspicious manner.
Sheriff Roberts was notified and with
Deputy Cravens placed the man under
arrest. He was brought to the coun-
ty Jail here and the authorities at
the State Hospital were notified
The young mans parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. F. p. Tracy, well-to-do Powell
county citizens, came to this city to-
day and identified the man as their
son. Young Tracy has been of un-
sound mind for about eight years,
having escaped from the asylum in
this state several years ago, and from
one in California, where he was later
patient, Crossing the border he
joined the Canadian army at the be-
ginning of the war and served two
years in France, taking part in much
of the severest fighting. Tracy re-
turned from France two years ago
and has since then been confined in
the State Hospital until he escaped on
the 10Th. 1t is thought that he was
trying to make his way to his fathers
home when captured Sunday. He was
taken back to the asylum today.
