MEDICAL LAKE NEWS.
No Traces Found of the Rid
die Boy.
4 VERY MYSTERIOUS CASE
Medical Lake Flios-An interesting
Fiold for the Entomclogist--
Excursion Trains.

MEDICAL LAKE, May f.--fIarvey Rid
die the boy who so mysteriousIy disap--
pearcd from his home last Sunday has
not yet been heard from Several par
ties have been out in scaruh of him, and
have gonc over large section Of tho
surrounding country without result.
IL Is frequently suggested that ths boy
was tired OF farm liic and left yoluntar-
lily, and this opinion has gained ground
since tho failure of tho searching parties
to get trace OF him. His parents and
those well acquainted with the boy,
however will not accept this theory. as
they say lie was we'll contontod at home,
lived happily with his parents and had
never shown any sign of dissatisfaction,
or desire TO Leave homo. lie has n
brother aud n sister at Spokane Falls,
but neither Of them hnvc heard OF him,
nor has any one on any OF the roads
leading from here seen him. lie took
no clothing with him, and mndo no
preparations that would indicate his in.
tention to leave home. Their place Is
on Granite lake. and n number arc now
of tho opinion that no has been acci-
denially drowned. In support of tho
theory u small raft has been found
floating on tho lake. and II Is believed
that In playing on 1t he must have
fallen overheard. As the lake is very
large and the water deep II will be a
difficult matter to verify this theory,
but an attempt will be made TO drag the
lake.
For many years Medical Lake has
kept Cinnamon out OF the town, but at
last one has obtained a footing and we
may now expect others to follow. Al
though no severe measures have ever
been used to keep them out an effort
has always been made to prevent their
employment, and this method was sue
cessiul until tho proprietor Of tho Cottage
house imported an almond-cyed
Celestial for cook. There Is great lack
OF affinity between the people OF this
place and tho above mentioned cook,
which Will probably result In his TAX
ing an involuntary bath in the lake.
Mr.. George Umbad. recently OF the
Pacific barber shop at Spokane Falls,
has opened his tonsoriaI parlors In this
city on Lake street, between Leievre and
Jefferson. lie will be pleased to SEQ his
Spokane friends when they arc In town.
Judge Tate, of the police court re-
ports business very dull, no arrests hav-
ing been made for several weeks. This
speaks well for the morals OF our town.
