The amount of stock subscribed
for is about $50, 600, and will be great
" increased as soon as the articles OF
incorporation are completed. The
organization of this association will
be of great benefit to the city, giving
many of our people an opportunity
to build homes who could not other
wise do so. There will certainly be
an active demand for the money
available in the treasury, as an i'm
mense amount Of. building will be
done here during the next few years.
The demand for money will make the
association a profitable investment
for all who put money into it, and
the benefits of membership to those
desiring to build are too well known
to need urging.
ROYALTON, Mimi, Oct. 14.-Little
Rose Litka, the girl who was lost on
Tuesday, Oct. 6, has not yet been
found, though there have been hunt
ingparties out every day. On Sun
day 200 hundred men secured the
woods inIthe vicinity and found un-
mistakable traces of her in q cram
berry marsh, about five miles from
her home. The men found the place
where she had bee gathering cram
berries and tracked her to a logging
road, where the print of her bare feet
could plainly be distinguished in the
mud. An attempt was made to fol-
low up the trail, but it was lost a
mile and a half from the marsh.
Since then no trace has been found of
her.
Your correspondent returned this
evening from a. two days hunt for
the missing girl. The party he was
with hunted all day yesterday and
today, but could not find a trace of
her. One not familiar with the
woods in this locality can only get a
good idea of what it really is by a
tramp through it. :Three-fourths of
what we Travelled were tamarack
and spruce swamps and cranberry
marshes. The grass, moss and fallen
timber make progress slow. In some
places it is almost impossible to get
through.
The lost girls mother is dead and
her iather is sick and diving of con-
sumption. There is q step-mother in
the case, and the neighbors tell that
treated and left home to stay with
her step-mother's parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Kattmorinski. She had lived
with them four years, and it is said
that she had been abused by them
also in a most shameful manner.
She was made to go after the cattle,
though they were two boys in the
house. one fourteee and the other sew.
enteen years of age. She was always
threatened with punishment If she
failed to find the cattle.
Sheriff Quinn OF Benton county ar:
rived here on the midnight train to-
night with 100 men from Sank Rapids
and Rice's to join the hunt. He will
ce Joined by large number of men
from this place.
