MISSING MAN LOCATED.

William Cunningham Thinks He is on
His Way to Heaven.
Special to Republican.
Cedar Rapids, Feb. 27-William
Cunningham, the man who left his
home on Oak Hill Tuesday night at
midnight, taking his 9-year-old son
with him, is at Marengo, where he and
his little son are being cared for. But
what action, if any, will be taken to
bring him back to this city is not
known at the present time. Indeed,
the matter is in peculiarly complicat-
ed condition, and it looks as tho it was
up to the Iowa county authorities to
send the man and boy back to this
city.
On His Way to Heaven.
Frank Plumb, cigar salesman,
came in last evening from Williams
burg, where he met another travelling
man from Marengo, who told him of
the appearance Of Cunningham in that
city. He said that Cunningham put
in an appearance at the Doose hotel in
that city at a late hour Wednesday
night. He was accompanied by the lit
tie boy and talked in rambling man
ner. He stated that he was on his way
to heaven and that he expected to start
from Marengo. 1t was plainly evident
that the man was demented, and the
landlord placed the man and boy in
the sample room.
