Last Sunday morning c. A. Day got
up, seemingly normal, and helped has
vile DO the milking, rs usual, and
went to turn cut the chickens, while
his wife went into the house to prepare
breakfast. When she had breakfast
ready, the wife called to him, but re-
cieveGived no re response. She then
called his brother, W. V. Day, who had
stayed over night with them, and was
at the barn attending to his horses, and
asked if he knew what had become OF
Arthur. Billie began to cali for HIM,
and MADE a search Of the premises, but
TO no avail. Becoming alarmed, they
telephoned to the father, Mr.. A. b.
Day, and to the n~eighbors; and soon a
searching party was securing the
vicinity. Hours passed and the search
ing party grew IN numbers ana WIDEN
ed their search. Fully fifty persons
hunted every mock and corner within
a mile or two of the house, until lar IN
the afternoon. A hard rain storm came
up about four P. NJ, and many OF the
s~earchers and the "Iugitlves' were
drenched. About h~ve-thirty, rs many
of the searchers were about ready 10
give up the hunt and believed that

heed. a couple Of boys came upon hln
ABOUT a mile from home, wondering
aimlessly about in the woods, pnyslcal-
w exhausted and mentally asleep Z.

asked him iE he knew him, he respon-
ded Eyes, you are the doctor" HIS
mind remained in almost total aber-
ration all that night and and well into
the following day. When he did finally
recover his faculties toward noon Fri
dav, he still seemed in a dazed state,
and could not recall a thing that had
happened since he Went to attend 70
