Sylvan Lake Notes.

Inc resort must have its excitement
as we'll as all other well regulated house
holds. 1t lost a woman last Monday
evening, or rather the lady lost herself
on one of her exploring trips down the
gorge. She was missed from her accus-
toned place at the supper table about 7
O'Clock, when an investigation was made
she was nowhere to be found. Then
everybody got busy from dishwasher up
to manager. Her voice was heard by
the first searcher down the gorge but
could not be located, so another trip
was made in the same direction and q
voice heard again but could not be To-
Gated. Mr.. Monheim then sent Mr..
Mayors and Will Kubler north of the
Chimneys and he himself went again
down below the stables, and located the
voice across the gorge as well as the
boys that were sent around to the north
Of Chimneys Mr.. Monheim hurried
back to the hotel and phoned to Mr..
Emery not to come with the party of
rescuers that had volunteered their ser.
vices until he, Emery heard from Mr..
Monheim again. who had started out
himself to go north of the Chimneys in
company with Mr.. Brant, Mr.. Mayors
and Kubler. Finally they located the
lady and got to her at about 10 o'clock
When they had gathered themselves to-
gether they found they were all lost.
They wondered around and finally fell
in with Mr.. Monheim and Brant, then
behold neither of them knew the way to
get out. After a council of war they
concluded they must get TO some high
point which they did finally reach.
They then determined Oh a certain dir.
ection with the wind for guide and soon
landed on familiar grounds, the COW
corral. They reached the hotel at 12
O'Clock, all radiant and tired out. Miss
Shugart was nearly exhausted, but withal
stood her loss and trip well, and was
very grateful to her rescuers. In the
meantime the landlady and guests were
very much alarmed at the non appear
ance of the whole crowd. The boys
started out Of town only to reach here
five minutes after the rescuers got in
with Miss Shugart. Miss Shugart resides
in New York. She is trained nurse by
profession and came to the resort week
ago for hay fever. In her wonderings
she fell off a cliff about 20 feet high, but
was happily saved by heavy under
growth of bushes and sustained only a
few bruises and scratches. So ends the
chapter of lost lady.
The National Guard rescuers were ta-
ken care ofupon their arrival with some
thing to drink, a hot cup of coffee, and
plenty to eat. After the boys exploded
their ammunition the Manager tucked
them snugly in bed, and with a good
breakfast sent them home rejoicing
The hotel management feels grateful for
their volunteer service, and their kind
ness was very much appreciated by the
lost lady.
