M'NARON STILL FREE

Mark McNaron, who escaped from
the Bryce Hospital for the Insane
about midnight Wednesday, is still
at large Hospital authorities have
made searching investigation ana
it is still mystery how he made
his getaway, as McNaron had been
watched closely. Every key has been
checked up and none is found to be
missing. He never showed any tai
ent in a mechanical way and it IS
not believed he could have made
key to fit the door. During his stay
at the hospital he always acted in a
quiet manner and never gave any
trouble. Superintendent Partlow
stated today that McNaron was very
shrewd, and he does not think he
will be easily captured.
