Council Bluffs, July 3.-Hon. Fred
White has given up the search for his
son Virgil, although the reward of
$10O for his apprehension still stands
and it is expected that Omaha detec-
tives will continue to search for the
missing young attorney. After driving;
twenty miles thru wet weather and
bad roads, White arrived at the farm
near st. Libory, where the young man
who was thought to- be Virgil White
was staying, but the man proved not
to be the missing young Iowan. and
the father, disappointed and discour-
aged, returned to Grand Island, and
took the train for Omaha and it is un-
derstood will return to his home at
Webster, Iowa. Trace OF the missing
young man, however, has been found.
although the clue is such as to make
it difficult to find him. 1t appears
that letters were mailed to the Fer
guson's at Defiance from Grand Island,
Neb. The letters have been mailed
on Union Pacific train and 1t is pre-
sumed that White has gone further
west. There is belief that he IS
working in the hayfields of Nebraska
and that he will not return Until he IS
ready, or is located by means OF the
circulars and pictures sent out.

Boone, July, 3.-When the e'real
Boone viaduct the biggest oou-
BILE track bridge in the world
was built by the G. &. ~. W.
Railway over the Des Moines river, no
one thought that there could ever be
such a thing as it's supports being en-
dangered. Nevertheless, such Is the
case, and the North with
characteristic energy has gone right
to work to remedy the trouble. The
hillside on the east side Of the bridge
is of soft yellow clay, and the Jar OF
the trains or some other cause has
started the hill to sliding down. The
crack appeared first above the bridge,
but gradually worked down to the VIA
affected by the slide. These piers are
down into the ground sixty to eighty
feet, and it was never dreamed that
they could be affected.
The company will take no chances,
however and Chief Engineer Edward
C. Carter of the C. g. N. w. system and
his principal assistant, F. H. Balm
bridge, are here and have inspected
the bridge. As result of Mr.. Carriers
inspection, the company will begin at
once the construction Of a solid wall
of masonry of massive proportions,
which will be sunk down beyond the
reach of a possible slide and will be
built up to the bridge, greatly
Strengthening it. 1t is big UNDER
taking and will involve the employ
ment of many men.

Young Sharpe had gone to the river
to see an excursion boat pass by, and,
noticing footprints in the mud Of the
bank, followed them until he came
upon the tokens indicating a suicide.
There is no doubt ha:e that Spet-

doctors developed the fact That he nad
been suffering from a tunior on the
brain. This is thought to have finally
driven rim to his death in the waters

business affairs were in good shape.
A reward of $50 has been offered for
the recovery Of the body.

throw himself off moving trolley car

restrained from doing so.
