 STILL MISSING-Danny Greenwood is still missing from home and his father, MT. D. F. Greenwood. is con- siderably worried, though the boy is well acquainted and he hardly thinks that harm has come to him. His father. who was working on the Lewis block Wednesday. sent the boy to play with the children of some friends in tha southwestern part of the city. That night Mr Greenwood was assigned by the sheriff to the care of some property and had no opportunity to go home again until Saturday, when he learned that the little fellow had been missing for day or two. It is quite possible that Danny has gone to his mother who is at present stopping in Prescott.
