Gray went hunting Saturday ami be
iug persuaded by the little lad per
mitted him to go with him.

r
they had traveled some distance, - r.
Grav decided that he would take a
certain route with the view of start
ing some game. The route Mr. Gray
wished to take was a little rough for
the boy. and so be mapped out a way
for the boy to go a short distance
where be expected to meet the boy in
about fifteiu minutes.
He pointed
out the course, designating a large
«lead tree as the place for the sou to
stop ami wait for him.
STRAYi.D FROM COURSE.
Th«« little fellow started out all
right but it appears strayed from the
course. When Mr. Gray reached the
giveu point he found no sign of his
boy. After waiting a reasonable time
he’ starte«l back to find him. He
soon found bis trucks ami discovered
that he had followed a trail into the
woods. The father took the trail aud
followed as fast as possible but dark
ness came ou ami he was forced to
return home without his boy. He se
cured help and lanterns and the search
was continued all night.
The next
morning over forty men wore on the
hunt ami the woods was searched in
every direction.
FOUND SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
Late Sumiay afternoon the little
boy was found tired ami «-xhausted
but still in good shape considering
his age and the «■« ertion he had un
dergone. When t' e boy left his fath
er he had two dogs with him. One,
however, deserted him and came
home «luring the eight,the other stay
ing with his playmate until he was
found. The incident occasioned much
excitement in Loi me and stirred the
hearts of all the citizens. —Nugget.
