ESCAPED FROM U. S. HOSPITAL

Military authorities from Hampton Roads, Va., are enroute to return Michael Fox who was arrested by Monon railroad detectives a few days ago on charges of trespassing and for desertion from the United States army. It has been learned -by Sheriff Price from the authorities at Hampton Roads that Fox was a patient in the hospital there, that he. is suffering from mental trouble and that he escaped from the hospital. He has served many months overseas and as a result has been confined in the hospital as a imental case since his return to the United States. He was placed in the Cass county jail by Sheriff Price because of the unsanitary condition of the local jail and will be turned over to the military authorities upon their arrival here. —Monticello Herald.
