Lost Boy.


On Friday morning of last week, a
small boy III clad and bare foot, applied
at the clothing house of Jonas Bear &
Co. for clothing. He gave his name as
Abe johnson, son of William Johnson, a
wealthy farmer, at Reynolds, more COM
monty known as "Bill o. the Woods. "
Mr.. Bear was well acquainted with the
boys father. and he had no hesitancy in
giving the young man coat and then
took him to the Commercial house,
to spend the night, and Mr.. Bear was to
call for HIM the following morning and
take him back home.
The next morning, however. the boy
was not to be found; he had escaped
during the night, and so far, has not re-
turned, nor has anything reliable been
heard of him. The boy is fourteen years
OF age and the only reason of his flight
is that he experienced difficulty in learn>
ing his lessons and has been reprimanded
by his teachers on this account. Mr.
johnson is in the city to day accom-
panied by two of his older sons, and he
will prosecute diligcnt search for his
runaway boy.

Lieutenant SchuetZe's Return from His
Long Journey-Travel in a Temperature
Eiehty-five Degrees Below Zero-Grate-
full Recipients-An Interesting Report In
Preparation.
WAsHINGTON, Sept. 28.- Lieutenant
VIM. H. Schuetze, who arrived in the
country few days ago on his return
from Siberia, whittier he went to distri.
butte presents to the natives who be-
frended the members of the De Long
party, is now in Washington, and is busi-
ly engaged in preparing an official report
Of his mission to be presented to the
Secretary of State. Lieutenant Schuetze
is looking much bronzed after his long
and eventful trip, and is in perfect health.
He had some rare experiences, and his
report will be most interesting one.
Some bitter cold weather was encounter
ed-so cold, in fact, that the reindeer
hitched to the sleds became almost ex-
hausled, at times not more than twelve
miles day could be travelled. The low
est temperature felt during the journev
was eighty-f five degrees below zero. The
natives who received the presents
were overjoyed, but many Of them
could not exactly understand just why
our Government should send them.
To quite number the value of the pres
ent was more than all they had ever
owned. They have very little knowledge
of geographical locations and still less in
formation regarding the United States,
but nevertheless felt highly honored and
fattered when it was made known to
them why they had been remembered by
our Government. Lieutenant Schuetze
expects to go out to st. Louis as soon as
he shall have completed his report. His
many friends there will have a chance
to hear him relate some of his adventures
in person.
