Drew, 47-year-old Medtord man miss ing from nil home at 828 Broad itreet since November 28, re ceived new Impetus Friday with the finding of raincoat, suit coat, hat, glasses, dental plates and watch on the bank of Rogue river, about 100 feet below the Cold Hill bridge. The articles, tentatively Iden tified as belonging to Drew, are believed by officers to have been rolled up in the raincoat and tossed off the bridge while the river was in flood stage last week. The bundle eventually became waterlogged and sank In a stretch of backwater. The discovery was made Friday by Bill Arthur who resides near the river, the receding water having left the bundle visible on the bank. According to Deputy Coroner Carlos Morris, neighbors and friends have aided in tracing Drew's movements up to the afternoon of the day he dis appeared. On that day he was seen In the lobby of the Hotel Jackson and It is known that he purchased a bus ticket at the hotel terminal for Chalker's Motel, a short distance beyond Gold Hill. Whether he boarded a bus and if so, at what point he disembarked, have not been ascertained. Drew, according to Informa tion given officers at the time of his disappearance, appeared very nervous. He had been 111 for 13 years. The deputy coroner, deputies from Sheriff Syd L Brown's office and state police officers are conducting the search in the Gold Hill river area.
