Harry E. Brown, Missing Hotel Man,
Finally Located.

Laconia, n. H., Oct. 6.-Harry E.
Brown, who mysteriously disappeared
from his home on Long Island, Lake
Winnipesaukee, last Monday, was found
in bed in a cottage a short distance
from the hotel yesterday. He had slept
seventy-two hours.
Beyond being weak from going with
out food for that length of time, he
seemed in good physical condition. He
was taken to the hotel, and after eat
ing appeared as well as ever. DIR. Salt
marsh of Lakeport was called to Long
Island to attend him.
Brown said that on Monday he was
suffering from stomach trouble and that
he entered the cottage through window
and went to bed, in order to get a good
rest. He did not seem to realize how
long he had been there.
The cottage in which he was found
Is seventy-fve feet from the hotel, but
as it was shnt for the winter and the
keys were in the hotel. no one thought
OF looking there for him. The search
ing party secured the entire island be-
fore they found the young man.
DIR. Saltmarsh, who was one of the
searching party, was seen at his home
after his return from the island. He
stated that Brown appeared in good
mental and physical condition, and that
he did not anticipate any serious re-
suits from his voluntary fast.
