Regains Mind in Prison.

Huntington, Nov. 15—While en route from his Long Island home to Chicago, to visit a sick son. John Kirk became temporarily demented, and, leaving the train, wandered about the neighboring country for several days. Officers found him and took him to the local jail to await the result of inquiries as to who he was. While there a tramp recognized an old-time comrade in the navy. With the recognition came a restoration of his mind, and he was soon continuing his trip to Chicago.
