Missing Druggist Found In Demented Condition.

Ou April 4th a druggist named C. C. Ridlen in Indianapolis mysteriously disappeared and various rumors Were soon started to add to the discomfort of Mrs. Ridlen. A “friend” reported that he had seen Ridlen at the Union station in the company of a woman and that evidently they were leaving together. A week later a body was found in Deer Creek, near Delphi, which looked very much like Ridlen and an effort was made to identify it, but later it was decided that it was not him. Now the man has been found In a demented condition at Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., and apparently he has been in this condition all the time. H4s wife, believing that he had eloped with some other woman, had begun divorce proceedings. This action will now be dropped and Ridlen will be placed in a sanitarium. His wife is running the drug store and getting along very nicely.
