Htuylng at a ranch above Oak Ridge
found a number Mt cards on which
was written, "Come quick. 1 am
sick and starving. V
Tho cards were near a trail, some
distance from tho Willamette river.
The woman reported her finding,
but little was thought of it. as set
tlers believed anyone no close could
find bis way out.
Find l'ockctbonk
Two or three days ago a pocket
hook with K, ilcy's name on it was
found, and news of this and the find
in" of the cards reached Harris. Yes
terday lie set out in search of the
missing man.
In a comparatively short lime Dr.
Harris -found a number of Human
bones In the bed of a dry creek

a mile cvbovo the ranch. The bones
were scattered, evidontly by wild
animals.
