O. B. LOONEY ESCAPES FROM ASYLUM

O. B. Loney who was suppose to have drowned in the Snake river near his home on 
Whitley Bottom last July, and was found later in a deranged condition and later 
sent to the insane asylum, escaped from that place on October 5th and made his 
way back to Nyssa last Saturday, walking from there to the home of his sister 
on Whitley Bottom.  The sheriff’s office received notice of his return and that 
evening was brought to Payette by Sheriff Jefferis and Deputy Walbrecht.  
Looney talked freely of his experience at the asylum in a rambling manner and 
said he intended to go back to Blackfoot anyhow as soon as he attended to some 
business matters, he is still in a deranged condition and was returned to the 
asylum Sunday by a guard from Blackfoot who came here to accompany Mrs. Hurley 
and son, who were also committed to the asylum.
