 No reason can be assigned for his dis appearance by relatives other than the fact that he suffered from nervous trouble that at times impaired his mem ory.

He was observed leaning against telephone pole near the Louisville and Nashville cross ing at Nineteenth street and Fourteenth avenue, seemingly very much preoccupied or ill.
 His father, J. II. Lane, of Anniston, ar rived in Bessemer Saturday and other relatives will assist in the search for the young man. The police and medica. authorities of surrounding towns have been furnished with descriptions of him and have been requested to aid in the search.
 As no trace of him has been found, rela- lives are apprehensive of foul play, and several ponds were dragged for the body Saturday and woods in the vicinity are being searched.
 A reward of s100 has been offered by relatives for any information leading to his being located and information may be sent to 1919 Ninth avenue, Bessemer, or to J. H. Lane, 1515 Cobb avenue, An niston, or a telephone message to any police headquarters in this district.
