News In Brief

A man giving his name as Wilson was found near a lumber pile last night in a 
semi-comatose condition. This morning he was discovered in a barn in the rear of 
Mr. Peter's store. His limbs were apparently rigid, and he could scarcely mumble
that he wanted water. This was given him, and the county judge notified of the 
case. Later he was taken to the hospital, and it was found that he was suffering 
from an overdose of morphine and cocaine. While the case is a very serious one, 
the physicians say there are hopes that he may recover.
