MORRISON SPEECHLESS, HE REMAINS PUZZLE Unable to tell whether or not he has relatives who might care for him or to articulate beyond saying "Yah" In answer, to questions that are asked him. an aged "man without a country" Is at the county poor farm. His name is supposed to be Perkins, as this is the name written on- a slip of paper he carried when he was first taken tn charge by the county several weeks ago. Perkins, If that be his name, oame to, Portland from Pendleton. He was partially paralyzed and unable to tell where he wanted to go. Convinced that he had been, "shipped In" by the Uma tilla county authorities for benevolent Multnomah county to support, he was sent back to Pendleton. He had scarcely landed there until he was sent back again. Sinoe then nothing has been learned about him. - The old man has succeeded in mak ing known that he wants to go to his eon,, but who or where the son is no one Is able to find out. Perkins tries to tell, but It is an Indistinct mumble. All questions he answers by the one word of his vocabulary, "Tahl" The poor farm officials would like to learn where to send the old man, but they can do nothing but keep him, hoping that some day he may find the power of speech. The greatest bless ing that Christmas' could bring to this poor old man would be the ability to tell who .he Is and where he .wants to go. - COLD REMEDY MAY CAUSE-MAN'S DEATH rHnd Ptms Leaned Wire.) Butte. Mont.. Dec. 12. One swallow of a mixture given him for a cold by a woman or tne resirictea district may end fatally for Harry Wolfe, a bugler of Company B, Sixth Infantry, sta tioned at ori .Harrison, near Helena, who visited Butte Friday and early- this morninr told an officer that he feared he had been poisoned. It .is believed that the mixture taken by wolfs con tained bichloride of mercury. The do lice are making an endeavor to locate the woman, who gave Wolfe the prepa ration pui nave nui ueen miccesszui. Wolfe did not take the medicine until some time after he had left the woman. A policeman hurried him to the atttr of a physician, who worked over him for several hours. Wolfe Is uncon scious.
