A Milton special to the East Ore goman says:, , . . ...... , , The 4-year-old son of JR. L. Britten, a photographer of Walla Walla, is missing since 2 o'clock Sunday after noon. The Brittan family passed through Milton several days ago enroute to Tollgate, 18 miles from Milton.' The little boy went to a st&re to get some candy and roamed off. The local authorities sent to tho Walla Walla penitentiary aud got bloodhounds and traced the cihld to a stream near Tollgate, oalled Looking Glass, but could not find any trace. The people iu the neighborhood are very much worked up over the affair. They fear wild animals have gotten the child. A crowd of men left Mil ton yesterday afternoon to help iu the search. - ' ' Fay LeGrow of this city was com municated with last evening by Walla Walla parties asking him to send men from Athena to assist in the search for the child. This morning be and J. C. Stamper formed a patty consist ing of Hank Caphnger, Willis Bush, Will Dobson, H. O. Wortbington, Ross Maloney, Chas Gay, John Peeb ler and Hugh Robie, which left for the Toll Gate shortly before noon. The men for the most part are fa miliar with mountain life, and are thoronghly acquainted with the coun try in which the child disappeared. They will be a valuable addition to the ranks of the posse already hunting for the lost child. Mr. LeGrow was informed this morning that the blood hounds had twice trailed the missing child to a deserted sheep camp and there all trace was lost This fact leads to the conclusion that a cougar has made away with the little one. as it would be an easy matter for the animal to carry its burden above ground for almost any distance, thus putting the scent of the dogs at a total disadvantage.
