Carlson declared that his memory is a blank from the forenoon of Sept. 6, when he was in his store, until Saturday evening when he called for help to leave the hayloft. An attending physician at Bottin- eau said Carlson had apparently suffered from some brain disturbance associated with an old chronic nasal affliction. X-ray pictures are to be taken in the hope they will yield additional information on Carlson's condition. Carlson is expected to be in the hospital about one week, his, physician said. Where Carlson had been during the nearly one week he was missing is a mystery, William Thatcher, Bot- tineau sheriff, said Monday. The at- tending physician sald Carlson had not gone thirsty, and he did not seem very hungry when he was given food at the hospital. Carlson told his doctor that the last he remembers, until he called for help, was being in his store on Sunday forenoon. He had donned his, overalls to scrub out the store. He had suffered a severe headache on Saturday night and Sunday fore- noon, Carlson said. Then “something seemed to snap” in his head and he remembered nothing more until Saturday evening. Axel Swenson, in whose hayloft. Carlson was found, heard the mer- chant’s cries for assistance helped him down a ladder. He then communicated with Carl Johnson of Overly, who had been active in the search for. the missing man, and ar- Tangements were mad to take him to the Bottineau hospital at once. | Sheriff Thatcher said he had not questioned Carlson because of the advice of the attending physician that it would be well to permit him| © to rest.
