P — Young Man Seriously Sick, and Says Mind Has Been a Blank. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Sept. 2. In a really serious condition, Clarence M. Reed, secretary of Cogswell Polytech- nic College, who disappeared mysteriously on August 12 and turned up in New Or- leans, returned to his home to-day in this city. He was suffering from the effects of a fever, which had wasted the young man so during his strange lapse that he was put under the care of a physician at once. Young Reed is absolutely at a loss to explain his disappearance, and can only account for it by belleving that he was suffering from mental aberration, He re- members nothing except his departure for Sacramento on a river steamer the afterncon of August 12. From that time until he partly recovered his senses in New Orleans is a complete blank. It has been learned that the young man was vio- lently i1l at El Paso; that he was taken charge of by physiclans who went ag far as ’*Iew Orleans with him, and then placed him In the care of people who saw to it that the patient did not suffer. There was every evidence that Reed had passed through a severe physical and mental strain during the past two weeks, and the caute of it cannot be dis- coverad. His family have a theory that he had heen affected more serlously that he thought by being overcome a short time ago at Placerville oy the heat, while he was working in a quarry. It was some- what-like a_sun-stroke and for several deys young Reed felt the effects of the attack/ But when he left Placerville to take the position at the college two morths ago, Reed seemed to have recov- vred completely from the sudden pros- tration. In view of the circumstances surround- ing his disappearance, the young man is confident that he was suffering from some after effects of that {llness. His relatives have placed him under the most careful watch, and believe that with rest, aulet and treatment the young man will regain his normal condition.
