Andrew Melchen, of Penn Haven, came to Freeland yesterday to participate in the wedding of his brother, John, who was married this morning at St. John's Slavonian church. Early in the evening he exhibited signs of mental derangement and a short time later ran excitedly from his brother's home. He was followed by friends, who captured him near St. Ann's church, but he broke away from his captors and resumed his race through the woods.
The search for the man was continued through the night and he was found at 3 o'clock this morning. He was brought back to town and remained quietly for some time. Later, his guards becoming negligent, he again escaped and is still missing.
Melchen was overjoyed at the prospect of his brother's marriage and his friends fear that this is the cause of his affliction. The search for the missing man is still going on and as soon as he is recaptured he will be placed under treatment.
