about 5000 words, which is supple

SEEKING A LOST SON.
A Minneapolis Man Searches Points
In North Dakota. fa|

A Minneapolis Man Searches Points
in North Dakota. M
G.. Severson of Minneapolis is seapch-
ing for his son, Charles, who left his
home in Minneapolis two years ago,
going to Wahpeton, N. D. A short
time ago Mr.. Severson received news
that his son had persisted in livery
barn fire. His informant said the fire
occurred in some North Dakota town
near Jamestown, he thought. Tho
news Frustrated the young mans moth
en- and she is still in a precarious con-
dition. There is nothing: definite about
the matter, however. and Mr.. Severson
is not fully convinced that his son met
death in the manner described. He
was told of the fire, near Courtenay,
about three weeks since, in which a
young man named Melvin Evinson lost
his life, but is convinced that his son
did not assume another name. The
person who told Mr.. Severson of his
sons death, said the man whose barn
was burned was named Martin Will
Jams.
The missing man is twenty years of
age, fairly tall, stoutly built and
healthy. He is an only son, and his
parents are extremely anxious to hear
from him. Mr.. Severson made diligeaat
inquiry in Jamestown, but, SO far, has
been unable to secure any information
that would tend to throw light upon
the mystery.
