EUGENE DILLY FOUND.

Former Rensselaer Man Returns to His Home In Indianapolis as Mysteriously as He Left. Mrs. F. M. Parker recieved word a few days ago that Eugene Dilley, who, while under a temporary aberation of the mind, left his home in Indianapolis several months ago and his family had since been searching all over for ham, had returned as mysteriously as he had left. He could not remember the street that his family lived on however, and first went to the home of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Pritchett, who also resides in Indianapolis.

His face was covered with a beard and he did not look much like himself with the heavy growth of whiskers which had accumulated after he left home.

Mr. Dilley was formerly a resident of Rensselaer and taught school in this county. He recieved an injury to his head while here that has caused him to have these “spells” accosionally in which he leaves home, loses his identity and is gone for months at a time before his is found and returned to his family. He is unable to Jell very much abdut himself, where he has been, or what he has been doing after regaining his right mind..
