Stranger Taken Sick Here Returned to Indianapolis.

Michael Schwartz, t£e Jewish stranger who was found sick Tuesday afternooh in front of Leek’s hitch barn, was sent to Indianapolis Tuesday night in care of Constable W. S. Parks. Drs. E. N. Loy and A. ler attended him and it required two hypodermic injections to relieve him even a little from the intense pain he seemed to be in. Schwartz talked freely, sent for some local Jews and explained to them that he was without money. He was well dressed and apparently well educated. He did not talk broken, although he said he had been in the United States only 5 years. He said he was a tailor by trade and had come here looking for work. Examination showed that he had been operated on for appendicitis, obstruction of the bowel and stra'ngulited hernia and he claimed that he had been twice operated on for the last trouble, having undergone operations four times, twice in Chicago and twice in Indianapolis, strangulated hernia was his trouble at this time. He said that he was stricken suddenly and prior to that time had been feeling very weft. Officer Parks went as far as Lafayette with him only, there placing him in car* of the interurban conductor. He said that he would enter a hospital and again be operated on. He stated that he lived with his moth er and sister. Apparently he was about 30 years of age.
