LOST AND FOUND.

The mystery which has surrounded
the disappearance OF Wilberforce Og-
den, the theological student who left
his fathers home In Chatham several
days ago, was cleared when his father
found him In cave within q shed
adjoining the barn, not fifty feet from
his house. Although somewhat enact
ated, his general PHYSICAL condition ap-
peared normal. He showed no sign Of
bodily weakness. Like q hermit,
young Ogden had existed in bis dismal
den ever since the morning on which
he disappeared. 70 appease his hum
ges he had erawled from his hiding
place at night and entered his fathers
cellar, where he secured provisions.
Eatables were often missed by the
cook at the Ogden residence, but little
was at FIRST thought Of it. Last night
considerable food was taken, and When
this was reported this morning it was
thought that possibly n tramp had been
in the house. This led to q search of
the premises. A suspicion that young
Ogden had been driven to his hoine by
intense hunger was entertained, and
his father determined to make a care
full search. In company with John
Mason, the nurse employed to care for
the young man prior to his escape, the
two men entered the barn and began
a thorough search.
Many times before they had turned
over everything In the barn and sheds,
but no trace Of the young man had
been found. As they passed through
the haymow to shed adjoining noise
was heard, and, upon tearing up some
boards which Were loose. the father
discovered his son cronched beneath
the floor He ripped ND the floor and
cried to his son. but the boy refused
to come out The nurse was finally
forced to crawl ip and drag the young
man out.
When be had been taken to the house
Drs Wolff and Pollard Were summoned
and they made q careful examination
OF the young man. They asked his no-
tive for hiding in the shed and why he
left home. He could not explain, or
give any reason for his actions, The
doctors say that he will be obliged 40
remain i'm bed for several DAYS. nj
though they believe him to be in d bet
ter physical condition than before his
disappearance. There WAS weeping
for joy at the Ogden home to-day. and
III tact bof miles around there was re-
joicing as the news OF Wilberfaree's
safe recovery spread. The chapel bell
In the old Presbyterian church was
rung this morning and farmers and res
idents of nearby places gathered in the
village and focked to the Ogden home
TO extend congratlllations
Many stories concerning OgdeD,s
whereabouts have been reported to the
authorities or adjacent towns, and for

night q report came to the Aorristown
authorities that Ogdesa's body had been
seen floating ia the Swinetield River
near Hanover, n. r.. and a search of
the river was contemplated this morn
