WHERE IS HE? A Young Man Started a
 Month Ago To Walk From Maricopa
 to Phanix. A Search on the Desert for Him Will Be Begun Today. indians at Maricopa Will Be Set Along the Trail to the Ciia
 River and Kyrene.

Frank horn, young man F years of age, left Maricopa station on the morn. ing Of June Is to walk to Phoenix and so far as is known he has not since been seen. The first movement to solve the mystery of his disappearance will be made today.
 His father, James Korn, employed on the Collins ranch west of the city. came to town yesterday morning and informed the officials of the case. About the middle of June the young man, who had been living with his mother in Washington, started to Phn- nix. He was provided with transpor- tation to Maricopa and sum of money sufficient to pay his expenses. His father was notified of his departure from Washington and after a reason- able time had elapsed and the son failed to reach Phoenix, the father started an inquiry concerning him.
 He learned from Washington that the boy had written from Maricopa an- nouncing his safe arrival. He had been robbed at Sacramento of all his money, but had managed to save his ticket. He was about to start for Phoe- nix on foot.
 Considerable time had naturally elapsed before Mir. Korn had received this information. He then wrote to Frank Holder, the agent at Maricopa, and yesterday received in reply a letter stating that the young man had arrived at Maricopa on June IS. He had re- lated the story of his robbery at Sacra- mento and said that he was going to walk to Ph9nlx. He set out on the trip and MT. Holder sent for him and pointed out the danger of the trip un- less supplied with water. He gave him bottle of water and such advice and directions as he thought might be of service. Nothing more could be ascer- tained.
 Mr. Korn was yesterday sent to Henry Morgan, who it was thought might be able to get some information from the Indians but none of the bridge Indians have been in town for several days. He advised MT. Korn to go to Maricopa last night and learn what he could there and then start on foot for
 
 Indians at Maricopa in trailing and to see Mark Stewart at the bridge. In case nothing was found to continue the search in the same manner to Kyrene. Mir. Morgan says that notwithstanding nearly month has elapsed and there has been some ram there the Indians will be able to follow any tracks that may have gone ods from the trail. Mir. Korn left for Maricopa last night.
 One of only two things will likely be found. Either his decaying body is lying Tn the shade of mesquite or else he has wandered demented into an Indian village along the trail.
 The distance from Marcopa, to the Gils, is eight miles and from the Gila, to Kyrene nine. The young mans supply of water would evidently have lasted until he reached the bridge. Even if he had neglected there to re- new his supply he might have suc- ceeded in reaching Kyrene. One is not likely to perish in that distance simply of thurst, but the liability of becoming "locoed" would be great, in which case the victim would be as likely to go in one direction as another and his only chance for life would be in the possi- bility of being found by Indians,
