Special to Times Republican.
Deep River April 22.--Much anxiety
is felt here over the disappearance of
Walter Potter, a young man about IS
years Of age. He was last seen at the
NJ E. church about 3 O'Clock Thursday
evening, where he had been attending
choir practice. No anxiety was felt at
his home over his non-appearance at
! the retiring hour, as he frequently
spent the night with the young man
who is night operator at the telephone
exchange. But his non-appearance at
breakfast time aroused some anxiety,
and inquiry at the Deep River garage,
where he Is employed as bookkeeper
and cashier. revealed the fact that he
had not reported for work. Inquiry at
the telephone exchange revealed the
fact that he had not spent the night
there and extended inquiry and search
around town has up to this time failed
to reveal any clue to his whereabouts.
His accounts are all right at the garage
company and there ia no reason from
that source for his disappearance.
No Reason For Disappearance.
Walter is an exemplary young man
and no one can advance d reason for
his strange conduct. Rivalry for the
love of a young lady has existed for
some time between Walter and another
young man of this place. and 1t has
been suggested that dependency over
the progress he was making in her
affections may have caused him to
wander to some secluded spot and end
it all with dose of poison. Search st
this time IS being prosecuted in every
direction, the citizens aiding in every
way possible. All hope Walter will be
located and found to be all right.
The missing Young man is one OF
the real sterling young men OF this
community. He IS about five feet eight
inches tall dark hair and eyes and
wore when last seen dark suit OF
clOtheS.
