Who Leaves for Son; Admits Identity; Name in Hat Band Furnishes Clue J. T. Fitz of Cheyenne, Wyoming, who reported to the police Wednesday evening that he had lost his memory after wandering aimlessly about the city all day, admitted his identity late Thursday afternoon at police headquarters. Fitz, who told the officers he thought his name was White, declined to talk but very to the hospital by Ora Bundy, com- mander of the American Legion, and Dr. N. H. Savage, and it was reported at the hospital that the patient fretted during the night over a small child dressed in overalls. He recognized Dr. Savage Thursday morning when he came to the hospital Following clues from the mans hat that he was from Cheyenne, Wyoming, the police officers telephoned, authorities there, and found that the man could possibly be Mr. Fitz. The mans father was called on the phone and was convinced from the description, and will arrive this morning to take his son back heme with him. With assurance that the mans identity had been established, the police had Fits removed from the hospital, and the confession of his identity followed shortly after. He is about 80 years of age and is married. The child he was fretting about at the hospital is said to be his own child. When Fitz appealed to an officer for aid Wednesday evening, he was well dressed, and said that he did not recall anything. He said he had been wandering aimlessly about town for a long time and only had had a cup of coffee when he found a nickel in his pocket. The American Legion became interested in the case from a Legion button worn in his coat collar. Whether Fitz had met with any foul play could not be determined. Such a condition could have resulted from heavy drinking, in the opinion of Dr. Savage, although Fitz showed no evidence of being drunk at the time.

Marshal W. Vosco Call of Box Elder county has been recommended for appointment to the office of United States marshal by Reed Smoot the Republican United States senator from Utah. Salt Lake, Utah and Weber counties had candidates for appointment to the office, but these counties, by their vote in the late election, signified their desire for a Democratic United States senator in a most emphatic manner. It is not known if the action of these counties put their candidates out of the running, but Senator Smoot was justified in counting them out. As a matter of fact this office should be filled by the appointment of a candidate from some county which voted for a Republican United States senator, or perhaps the aPprintment should have been given to the Democrats. h" Ready for "Let 'er snow! says II.
