LOST NelS FOrdham
IN THE I Strays From
, WOODS. His Party.

N. A. Holmer, Gust Anderson
and Andrew Dahl returned last
evening from a trip to their Lake
county homesteads and reported
that N. P. Fordham, who accom-.
panied the party when they left
here on Saturday last, had stray
ed from his party on Sunday ev>
ening aud that diligent search
had failed to reveal further trace
of him.
The last heard of Fordham
was late Sunday evening, when
he was heard about one-half
mile from camp, his ''ha]]oo" be
ing followed shortly by a shot.
Mr.. Fordham is known as an
expert woodsman. having been
for several years a member of a
survey corps, and the fact Of his
long absence leads those best &C.
qualnted to fear he has been the
victim of an accident.
A searching party is being or
ganized here today and leaves
on the Duluth & Iron Range for
the section, which is about mid
way between Ely and Beaver
Bay. and is reached by a hard
trip up the St. Louis from the
big bend, below Allen Junction.
