SAN DIEGO, March 28.—A fplainly dressed man, about 65 years old, who was enroute to this city from the East, left the south-bound passen- ger train at Oceanside, forty miles north of this city, yesterday after- noon and after wandering about Oceanside a few hours, walked out to San Luis Rey Valley. He was last seen walking in the brush near the main county road in the valley. When the fact that the old man had left the train was called to the attention of Conductor Clegg, soon after the train left Oceanside, he requested the station agent and others at Oceanside to find the man and give him proper directions for reaching this city—his destination. The fact that the man had offered the conductor money to pay his fare here after having already given up his ticket, together with other actions ot the stranger, convinced Conductor Clegg that the old man was in a dazed condition. Before going out into San Luis Rey Valley yesterday after- noon the old man asked persons in Oceanside when the next steamer left for this city, and upon being informed that no steamers connected the two places appeared to be greatly disappointed. Two officers of Oceansi started last evening on horseback to find the man, but were unsuccesstul. They returned to Oceanside this morn- ing and reported he could not be found. The man’s name and the place he came from in the East are not known to the railroad officials. Search is being made for him. No inquiries have been made at the Santa Fe office here to-day for the old man. e % ORORO ROROROROR LBUROROR sososcm ORONT S ROBORONDLL LRI SONRORIN G LOROROM Brown declined to give the name of Mail from Vienna says there are the man to the committee.
