He fell heavily on his head but was unable un-able to get out of the place without assistance. Officer Manzel's attention atten-tion was called to the circumstances and he took Mr. Anderson to the city jail for medical treatment. Shortly after, Mr. Anderson was taken over to the county jail and a doctor called.

The man was given a comfortable cot in the corridor, but did not sleep well Saturday night. Yesterday he was around the sheriff's office, complaining of a stiff neck. Last evening he requested that the doctor be called, as he wanted something some-thing that would cause him to sleep. The physician administered an opiate.
