Glen Smith, mysteriously disappeared from St. George Saturday, and his whereabouts as yet are not known. Mr. Smith was at his classes during last week and seemed to be in his usual health with the exception of a certain nervous tension. He seemed unable to settle down to his studies in his usual studious manner. Those who have been intimately associated with Mr. Smith have, it is understood, been somewhat anxious about his state of mind. Many of the has been a changed man dents have also realized that Mr. since returning to school this fall. He has seemingly been" laboring under the apprehension of some impending danger. The strange disappearance of Mr. Smith was not generally known until Monday morning when he failed to report for duty. The matter was immediately reported to the school authorities and a search was instigated. It would appear that Mr. Smith had deliberately planned to run away, as he had made detailed preparation. The local officers have been working assiduously on the case from the beginning. From the facts, as at present known, it wbuld appear that Mr. Smith left St. George in his own car early Saturday morning. During Friday night it would seem that his mind was somewhat agitated. He was unable to sleep well and was up numerous times during the night, first turning on the light and it off again, and nervously pacing the room while talking to himself in muttered tones. Once or twice he was heard to cry out for help as one who was approaching some dreadful disaster. Detectives in the northern part of the state were notified and ask to be on the lookout for him. Every road is being watched. Reports have reached St. George to the effect that Mr. Smith has been seen by various people, but as yet he has not been taken into custody. Officers feel confident that they will be able to locate him soon. One Will D (Willdee) Dixon of Pay-so- n reports that she is thoroughwith Mr. ly well acquainted Smith and feels confident that she will capture him about Wednesday, or Thursday of this week. Miss Dixon is expecting to come in person to St. George and bring her captive with her, and in order to make sure that he will not again desert his post of duty, Miss Dixon has accepted the position of guardianship over Mr. Smith. The home of Mrs. Mary J. Bunker has been secured and Miss Dixon will look after him at that place and elsewhere during the remainder of the school year. H. L.
