WANDERS FROM HOSPITAL
Charles Bates, aged 45, of this city,
who has been a patient at the state
hospital at Lincoln for the past year
and a half, walked away from the
hospital grounds on Sunday and so
far there has been no word received
of the man altho notice has been
sent out by the hospital authorities
to be on the lookout for the man.
Mr. Bates has been acting as a trusty
at the hospital and has never shown
any desire to leave the state institu
tion and accordingly there has been
no restraint on his liberty arid he has
been allowed to go free around the
buildings and grounds. It is thought
that he was suddenly taken with a
desire to visit the old home at Platts
mcuth and the family here and au
thorities have been notified to be on
the outlook for the missing man.

one of the best membership cam
paigns of recent years in bringing
into the ranks of the Legion at this
early day of 101 members.
The banquet was staged at the
former rooms cf the Fullerton res
taurant and which were filled to the
utmost capacity which despite the
inclement weather failed to keep the
Legion members from their attend
ance at the banquet.
The binquet hall was arranged in
the patriotic decorations of flag3 and
the red, white and blue, these being
carried out in the flags and in the

Youth at Eagle
is Blinded in At
tempt at Suicide
Jch Sneddon, Tired of Living Fires!
Bullet into Head and Severs
Optic Nerve.
From Tuesday's Dany
John Sneddon, aged 19, a young
man residing at Eagle, yesterday in
a fit of despondency made what may
prove to be a successful attempt at
suicide and which at least has ren
dered the young man totally blind.
The youth has made hia home in
and near Eagle tor practically all cf
his life and had grown tired of the
ceaseless struggle that be felt he was
not able to make which resulted in
his decision to end the story with
the means of a revolver shot.
The attempt at suicide occurred at
the fc.agle hotel wnere bneddon was
staying and when the attendants at
the hotel rushed to the room of the
young man on the report of the shot
and found him lying where he had
failed after the discharge of the re
volver. As soon as possible the injured boy
was taken to the hospital at Lin
coln where his condition la regarded
as very grave and the question of his
recovery one of the greatest doubt.
Should Snedden .recover from the
effects of the wound he will be to
tally blind as the bullet severed the
optic nerve in entering the head and
rendered the boy blind.
Those who reached his side first
found a message telling of the desire
of the young man to quit the battle
of life.
It was stated by those acquainted
with the victim of the self inflicted
wounds that he was born and reared
at Eagle, and that several years ago
his father died and since that time
his mother has been placed in one
of the state hospitals, leaving him
alone and which fact had evidently
preyed on his mind to a greater or
less extent.
The suicide attempt created a great
deal of excitement in Eagle where
Sneddon was known to a large num
ber of residents.
