MRS. B. F. EGAN -
THAT is the best piece of news we have
received since my brother disappeared .
said Mr.. Egan. I think it possible that
my brother was injured; that he was I'M
able to return and that he is low being
cared for at some camp or cabin. 1t may
be from some such place that the smoke
was seen. My brother is well acquainted
with the mountains and 1 think he would
have returned before now if he had not
