STOCKTON, Col., Jmio 12.
James A. Oliver, aged CO years,
awoke after sleeping ou the court'
honse lawn Lens yesterday.
"Where's, the curbonate theatcrf"
ho asked tho first man he met.
Tho pedestrian smiled and walked
away.
Then Oliver jmed n .show window
and looked in a mirror. The face of
the graybearded man confronting him
was startling, lie never remembered
wearing a beard before.
"What city is this!" asked tho be
wildered stranger.
"This is Stockton, California."
"You mean to say this isn't Los
Angeles?"
"No sir."
Then Oliver sat down on n curbing
and thought hard. Between March
8, 1012 when he called on tho secre
tary of the Loyal Order of Mooso in
Los- Angeles and paid his lodge clues,
nml the time of bis awakening ou
the lawn, his mind appeared a com
plete blank.
Oliver was well dressed. Ho had
several dollar in Ids pocket. This
morning he took a train and started
hack to Los Angeles. He says ho is
an old actor and that several years
ago ho fell ami injured his bend. Af
ter that ho began forgetting his
lines. Where he has been and what
he has been doing during tho last
sixteen months is a matter which,
bewilders him much.
