they returned to town and gave the alarm,
whcreupon some one hundred and fifty
men from the shops started out to search .
for them. The men divided oil in squads
of ten, in order to scOur the woods in all /
directions. The party going in the drcc-
ton of the head waters of Belps Run,
met the woman and girls returning, they

wandered through tho woods all night.

dertake a trip of the kind soon again.
We advise persons going to the mountains
for berries to have some one along who is
acquainted with the ground.
