OREGON. --------- the Desert, A North Yakima, Wash., May 6.—A 5-year-old girl has been found on the lonely desert of the Horse Heaven country, 18 miles from her home, standing in a badger hole, where she died from starvation. The child was the daughter of Hon. W. B. Mat thews, ex-county commissioner of Yakima county. Searching parties had been scouring the country for five days and'nights in an effort to locate the child alive. It was thought that she had lieen carried away by Indians and would lie found on the reserva tion. She had been tracked 12 miles from her home when all traces of her were obliterated by the winds blowing the tracks from the sand. Two children, a boy aged eight years, and the girl, five, were sent out from home five days ago to look after some lost cattle. They walked away until 10 miles from home, when grow ing tired they fell asleep. A passing cowboy noticed them, and after arous ing the sleepers took them on his pony and carried them almost home. The children then assured him that they could get home without further assistance, and he let them go alone. The night came on and it is supposed the boy ran faster than his sister and left her behind. When he reached home he was frightened and could not tell exactly what had happened. A search was made for the girl, but she could not be found that night. Items of Interest From All Parts of the State.
