Willie E. Chase, aged 16 years, son OF
widow Flora Chase, who keeps the factory
boarding house No 1, on Cushnoc heights,
in this city, started out on Friday morning
last for the purpose of hunting in the
woods. He took a double-barrelled shot
gun and was accompanied by his dog. He
started for Beech hill, some tour OF five
miles distant, where he had previously
| been quite often. He did not return that
night, and of course his mother and friends
became very anxious, spending all the
night without sleep and the mind narrowed
with fearful forebodings. Early Saturday
| morning, the two elder brothers started in
pursuit OF the missing boy, but returned
about ten O'Clock in the forenoon, their
search unrewarded, but soon started again.
