 Homes. Received Strong Aid

hOpeS, heceiVeu StrOng Aius
 An unfortunate stranger, known only as Paul Burns, who had crawled into an outbuilding near the oil tanks to die. was brought back to life Mon day by means of a hot bath, adminis- tered by Sheriff J. A. Thornton. The strangers condition was reported to various authorities until it finally reached Sheriff Thornton, who, find ing that no one else was going to do anything, determined to do what he could himself. Burns suffered from an incurable disease and was in de- cidedly unsanitary condition due to long absence from a bath tub. Be- lieving that cleanliness is next to god liness Sheriff Thornton started get ting the stranger ready for heaven by starting him off with a real bath. The man was in such a condition that no one could be hired to scrub him, so the sheriff tackled the job himself. An hours work was required, together with lots of hot water, much soap and towels. The strangers filthy rags were taken out and burned and when Burns emerged from the bath tub, he was given new garments. The man admitted he had expected to die in the outbuilding and when revived by the bath and new clothes expressed a desire to go to Harrel, Ok, to the home of brother. Burns was given ticket and sent away on the after noon train Monday. Before leaving he expressed his gratitude to the sheriff for the good Samaritan act of the official. A physician who saw the man was of the opinion the bath un- doubtedly saved the man frcas dying here in Mena.
