Burr, the two men who started on their
mysterious air voyage in the Pathfinder
over week ago are still in the land of the
living.
Even Prof. Downey no longer entertains
any hope that they have escaped. 1T is
still the general belief that the balloon
went down at night in the dense woods of
the Macoupin, or Otter Creek bottoms, and
that the remains of the two voyagers will
eventually be discovered. One of Mr..
