INDIANAJO TEXAS, One Legged Lad Makes the Trip Without Money. Quietly Disappeared From Home Last'September. Vain Search by His Anxious Q-narded and Tied Hand and Foot, Jerry Cornell, a well known farmer of Adams township, became violently insane yesterday and was taken to Long Cliff. His struggles were so violent that his hands an(? feet were tied and he was driven to town today under a strong guard. Application was made for his admission to the jail but Sheriff A'dams said that the proper place for Cornell was at Long Cliff.

During the delay at the court hourt house he raved and shouted till a large crowd was attracted by the unusual scene. Cornell was confined to the asylum once before, but was released two years ago as cured. At the time of his flrst attack he was seized with the belief that he could -kill Ms child and bring it to life again. As he" showed an inclination to test the matter, he was placed in the asylum.

There is much rejoicing in the family of L. G. Coppock, of Anoka, over news from a runaway son. Three years ago Mr. Coppock was employed in the Pan Handle shops here and his son, Carl, a bright lad of thirteen, was the habit of carrying his father's dinner to the shops at noon hour.

On one of his daily trips he" was run down by a train and so badly.injured that his right leg was amputated above the knee. Upon his recovery Mr. Coppock and family removed. to a farm near Anoka, where they have since Carl had been fitted out with a wooden leg and assisted as much as possible about the farm. In the early part of last September he captured John Boley, a half-witted fellow who had escaped-from the poor farm and returned.him to the proper authorities.

He was given an order for a small amount of money for his trouble and a day or two later, started lor'Logansport to cash same. Se failed to retnrn'home, and from time Mr. Coppock made diligent search for the missing boy. All efforts were unavailing, however, and hope 01 finding him had been jiven up by his parents when a letter was received Saturday from the runaway son. It was dated at an obscure town in Texas and conveys little information other than that the writer is proprietor of a small notion store and doing fairly well.

He writes that Tom Clark, a foEtner Lo- ganspbrt boy, is with him, but fails to explain why he disappeared so quietly, and failed to inform his parents. It is hard to conceive how a penniless youngster of sixteen, with only one leg, could get to Texas, but the fact that young Coppock did it and is prospering, is evidence -that he baa plenty of pluck and the ability to make money. A reconntal of-his experiences in reaching the Lone Star state, would be of interest. Special Mackintosh Sale.
