Chas. V. Moon, a police officer of Warsaw, was here this morning in quest of Rev. A. C. Rand, formerly a Presbyterian minister and for the past four years a resident of Warsay. Rand mysteriously disappeared on March 4th, he notified his wife that he was going to Wabash on business. No postive trace has been found of him since that time, although the officer that was here is positive that be traced him to Mononi, where W. D. Handley, the druggist,, is certain he saw hijn a week ago last Sunday. Rand was a Presbyterian minister for several years during his residence in Illinois and was a great student. s He married a wealthy young lady and moved to Warsaw, buying a farm of 400 acrqp near there and a fine residence, Which is said to be one of the best furnished in Warsaw. He had a large library and when he was not looking after his farm interests he was studying. Last summer he had a sun stroke and this is evidently the cause of a temporary abberation of the mind. When he left Warsaw he did not wear his best clothes .and he took only S2O in money with him. He is 88 years of age, 6 feet 8 inches in height, and weighs 145 pounds. He has jet black hair, blue eyes, long slender hands, a narrow No. 7 foot, and

h%B a scar between the thumb and finger of the left hand. Information concerning him should be sent to Rev. E. H. Montgomery, of Warsaw. —Wednesday’s Monticello Journal. Mr. Moon was here Monday looking after the missing preacher.
