Friday evening of last week a telegram was received from him dated at Divon , Illinois , 98miles , west of Chicago , saying , liDo not understand situation. Am here. Wire money to come home. " Money was at once wircd , as requested and he reached Ansley Monday. From the tUItC he lcft the farm to go to Ansley on that Sunday morning he docs not rc. mcmber anything until he came to himself again at Dixon and , as he stated in thc telegram , he could not understand how he was there. Of his experiences on the trip from Ansley to-rnxon he knows nothing and remembers of none of the towns or cities through which he passcd. : Broken Bow District S. S.
