Still No Trace Of Stafford.

Two weeks will have elapsed to-
morrow since Lester j. Stafford dls-
appeared from his home in Guiltord'
and vet no trace of the insane man
has been found although the search
has been vigorously prosecuted under
the leadership of John b. Gale, star
ford's guardian. On Tuesday MT.
Gale and a large party of men sys-
tematically covered large portion OF
the west side of Vernon mountain
and Yesterday a force nearly as large
hunted from in the morning until
dark, covering about 10 square miles
of territory. The mystery which en-
velops Staffords disappearance is
deeper than ever, for it was conn
IDENTIFY expected by Mr. Gale and his
assistants that the body would be
found this week, probably In the
woods near the Fairbank farm where
Stafford made his home.
Although hope of finding. Stanora
alive has long since been abandoned
Mr. Gale says that the search Will De
steadily maintained until some traces
of him are found, and the reward OF
$500 will continue good. Many peo-
ple hold to the opinion that Stanoru
was caught in the immense swamp
through which flows the north branch
of Fall river. In some places through
this swamp the brook bottom Is OF
soft muck of unknown depth, maze
still more treacherous by large guam
