He had been in the Veterans' Hospital receiving treatment for a severe case of arthritis. When he reached Marinette his neck was awry from the disease and his arms were almost useless. He was in terrible pain. The first night home he occupied the bed of his mother. When he awoke in the morning the arthritis was gone and he was free of pain. He does not attempt to explain his complete relief from the aggravating affliction. All that he can say is he was normal the next morning. He was about town the next day and since that time, unaffected by arthritis. He will return to the hospital in Milwaukee but does not expect to remain. Mr. Boyle was a candidate for sheriff in the last election."
