MISSING OFFICER
FOUND IN OLD CAMP
First Lieut.. w. H. Stuart of Manches

18-His Mind Almost Blank.

MANCHESTER, Aug 5-First Lieut..
William H. Stuart, son OF ID. I. Stuart,
mountain superintendent for the Rch
Lumber company of this town, who
dropped out of sight January Is, last, was
found yesterday by his father in one of
the lumber company's vacant camps on
the mountain. His mind seems to be al
most blank, probably from she'll shock,
although his father stated that he
thought the young man recognized him.
He did not recognize his mother or sister.
The discovery was made through the
aid of Pownal clairvoyant whom the
father had consulted several times and
who. although Lieut. Stuart disappeared
in New York, insisted he would be found
in lumber camp on the mountain Fol-
lowing her advice the father persisted IN
his search of the camps and yesterday
his. efforts were rewarded.
How long the young man had been in
the camp is not known but it is supposed
that he lived on provisions left there by
mmbermen
| Young Stuart went overseas about two
years ago as a private in an engineering
outfit and came home as first heuten-
ant He had received his discharge and on
Jan IS he went to the Grand Central sta
ton in New York with a chum who was
leaving for his home in Maine
| This young man, who served with Stu
art in France, stated later that for lC
days previous to Jan. IS the lieutenant
had acted strangely at times and that he
believed it was the result of shell shock
which the young man suffered in France
Stuart had intended to leave the fol
lowing day for the home of his family
which was then in Oneonta, \. Y. From
that time until yesterday no trace of hin
had been found and after exhausting ev
cry other means his father went to tn,

: ploved.
