around Gearing was in state of ex-
citement Saturday, caused by the mys-
ferrous disappearance of David Deaver

supposed that he had wandered away
when mentally deranged. Not being
able to locate him Saturday morning,
bloodhounds were brought from Wa
terloo and from Marshalltown but they
failed to locate him, altho following
trails over near ST. Anthony. At one
farm just east of Gearing the dogs in
sisted on approaching a water tank
and appeared to indicate that he had
stopped there and climbing to the tank
| might have drowned himself. The
water was drawn from the tank but
the body was not there.
Sunday morning about $3.50 Deaver
returned home but could not tell
where he had been, /other than that he
had wandered away and had been in a
corn field. When asked why he had
left he told his mother that he simply
had to go, that he could not bear to
stay around Fearing. but that he did
not know what it was that was draw
ing him away.
He remained in sort Of comatose
condition yesterday and it is expected
that he will be brought to this city for
an examination before the commits
