OVERCOME BY THE HEAT.

/"Floyd, the fifteen-year-old son of George F. Meyers, was overcome by the heat while going to Kniman Tuesday and has since been under the doctor’s care and suffering from quite a high fever. Thursday night, about 9 o’clock, he became wild with fever and jumped out of bed and ran about the yard and around the house, yelling and screaming at the top of his voice. He was finally caught and returned to his bed. Yesterday mornihg the doctor reported him somewhat better, and it is hoped that he will soon recover. It is learned that a number of years ago he was overcome by heat also.
