A MAN DISCOVERED IN AN UNCONSCIOUS CONDITION.

Falls From Wagon In Convulsions and Companions Drive On and Leave Him. This afternoon at about half past one o’clock Alf Donnelly discovered a man lying in the highway near his residence north of town. He was in t convulsions and was taken to Mr. Donnelly’s residence. A letter was found on his person postmarked Wabash, addressed to August Hubert, and this is supposed to be the name of the man. He was apparently 22 or 23 years of age. Drs. English and Kresler were called and found the man in convulsions. Later he was able to talk and was brought to town and placed in jail temporarily. He said that he was with a party of movers and fell off the wagon where he was found. He was intoxicated, the doctors think, which accounted for the condition he was in. The party was moving from Francesvllle to Peoria, 111., and his companions drove on when Huber fell from the wagon. Ho claimed to have had a check for $lO on his person before he became unconscious and thinks his companions might have taken it from him while unconscious. The other men passed x through,here a- short time before Huber was discovered, going south, and Sheriff Hoover started after find out what he could learn. He had not returned at the time of going to press.
