The Thrice-a-Week Edition of The
New York World
--------- In 1917---------
Practically a Daily at the pair«* of a
Weekly. No other newspaper in the
world gives so much at so low a price.
The value and need of a newspaper in
the household was never greater than
at the present time. The great war
in Europe is now half-way into ita third
year, and whether peace tie at hand
or yet be far off. it and the events to
follow it are sure to be of absorbing
interest for many a month to come.
These are world-ahaking affairs, in
which the United States, willing or un­
willing. is compelled to lake part. No
intelligent person can ignore such issues
The Thrice-a-Week World's regular
subscription price is only Si.00 per
year, and this pays for 156 papers.
We offer this unequalled newspaper
THE THRICE • A - WEEK WORLD
and THE SCIO TRIBUNE together
for one year for only 12.15.

two. having got together mining ma
<-binary and other arthleu necessary to
their purpose, started from Council
Bluffs with two wagons 1» make Ibe
trip over the plains and I he mountains
to California
Tbe Golden Mate »'«< lu those days
very remote It was a tong Journey
either by land or »es. ami there were
dangers wbl h Indmed b>»tb Wiustou
and Hunter to leave psp«'« with their
famine« to designate the to ation of
the property they were going tn de­
velop Mot that there waa any rar-
tainty of Ita being valuable indeed,
very few of the claims proved to be ao
-but common prudeme dictated this
course
Tbe partners, having creased the Mis­
souri. followed the Platte river They
had traversed about half the distance
to tbe mountains when thrv met a
train of empty wagons returning from
beuver, by whl- h they »ent letters to
tbelr families, stating that they were
both well and all was proceeding eat
iafactorlly with them
These letters contained the last tn
formation that was received from
them
It was assumed that they
would have opportunity at least once
tn a week nr two to send hack a com­
munication to their homes, and when a
month had passed and no word bad
come from them It was tvarrd that
something bad happened.
Tbe main danger wan from Indiana,
and tbos* fnterevied In them began to
dread lest they should t.--sr of the two
men having com» to grief in this way
But no such news was ever received,
nor waa there any report of mishap to
them of any other kind. When suffl
cleat time bad etapoed for them to
reach tbe Golden State and send let­
ters home by sea and still no news
came from them tbetr families and
friends and neighbors made a i->ol for
tbe purpose of sending some one tu
learn the truth concerning them
Edward Jenkins, a nephew of Hunt
Sr's, was selected to make the search.
Going to Council Bluffs, he attached
himself to a wagon train about to go
over tbe same route aa the partners
and made loqulrles along the way to
tbe point where they were Inst seeu
Thia was at a settlenu-ot. or. rather, a
•tatlou on tbe bank of tbe north fork
of tbe Platte river At this place Jen
kins waa informed that on or about
the date tbat Winston and Hunter
should have been tn that location a
couple of men. with two wagons, bad
left tbe station one morning to go
westward Several days later a»me lu
dlana had come In and reported bavlug
tuet them Tbe two wagons were a
quarter of a mile apart. Night was
coming on
Tbla was the last Information,Jen­
kins waa aide Io secure of tbe two
men
He weul over tbe route they
were supposed to have taken. I>nt be­
yond tbe spot where the Indians bad
seen them no true« of them whatever
muld be found It was aa If they had
been spirited away from the earth.
Jenkins made Inquiries If there had
been boatile Indians lu tbe neighbor­
hood at tbe time of tbe disappearance,
but *aa tohl that none such were re
ported. Beatles. If the travelers had
been killed by Indians not only the
wagons and machinery, but their bod
lea. would have been found Tbe red
skins would have no uae for anything
except tbe horses and stores of provi­
sions.
Jenkins could not tie certain of tbe
exact ground tbe partners bad goue
ovsy, though he knew tbe mute. There
were no actual roads, or wherever
there waa a road it was a mere track,
and there were a number of them lead
Ing In the same direction.
Having gained evidence to show tbat
those bo sought bad not ton killed by
Indians, that they bad not shkened
and died oo tbe Journey, tbat they bad
not been deetroyed by storm or flood.
Jenkins returned to ibe east and re
ported tbe result of bin labors. Had
ba told that tbe two men were dead It
would have ended tbe melter. Aa it
was suspense took poaaesslon of their
families and curiosity of tbelr friends
Mrs Winston and Mrs Hunter after
consultation with advisers dssided to
do nothing more In the matter They
bad no deeds to the property. no means
for ita development and no one to in
uwt wttb tbe mailer. Bagida«. they
affairs of tbe Winston family after the
father's leaving for California had
steadily d*-terk>ratnl. ami AIFr had no
dowry. Young Fleet wood being de
pendent <>n bla fattier ami tbat father
fori hiding a mat h for hia so* with a
poor girl, the prospect before tbe tor-
ers waa not encouraging
Home» Fleetwood knew tbe story of
Alice's father's disappearance ami
learned tbat certain property supposed
to contain gold bad liven Inherited by
tbe Winston and Hunter families
A Bee still clung to the theory tbat tbe
father might ret uro some day to tbe
child he had never aven, and It twin
bled bar Horace. In order to settle her
suspense, con rived the Idea of going
to t'alliomia to kill two birds with one
stone He would look up the mining
property of Winston A Hunter and on
the way would try to find out some
thing about tbelr disappearance
Naturally tbe heir» of tbe partnera
favored tbe Idea Fleetwood, without
informing his father of bla real object,
gained Ids consent to the trip and was
furnish«! with means for bla expenses
Taking pa tiers giving tbe to-atton of
the property he waa to investigate, he
set out over tbe same route the part­
ner» tied taken • >m« seventeen or
eighteen years before. But by this
time the Inin# Pacific railroad waa un
der r»m*trw U«vn and had been comptot-

Fleet

adjoining mine and learn«! tbat they

But It was evident that tbe heirs
could not give a clear title. Not only
bad the deed disappeared wltb the
original owners, but It was not known
If they were dead. If they lived they
and not their helm were the persona
to convey the property.
Fleet wood was much chagrined to

Now, a qul> kaand is not a go«! foun

was net to work to get the sand out
of tbe way. that a solid t>ottom might
be obtained. Tito spar» occupied by
tbe sand was quite deep. They bad
gone down a few feet when they came
to a man's bat. A little farther down
they took out a man a body. Tbe next
thing they < ame to waa a wagon, and
before tbe wagon was a pair of horses
hsmesned to It. Beneath tbe to-roes
were auutber man and a wagon and In
front of the wagon another pair of
horses. •
Fleetwo->d at once accepted this as
the true solution of the mystery. Tbe
