Spokane Man and BIoodhounds
Returns Home This Morning
THE WORK OF KIDNAPPERs SAYS DRAPER
SAYS TRACKS OF BOY NOT SIX
HOURS OLD WERE STRUCK
ON THURSDAY.

Firmly convinced that Cecil Britain
is in the hands of kidinappers who are
holding him for a reward, Harry Dra-
per gave up his search yesterday noon
and returned to Walla WaIla last night
Draper left with his bloodhounds for
Spokane on the 80 train this morn
ing.
"There is no doubt in my mind but
that the boy is being held by men who
expect to get a big chunk of money
before they return him to his parents"
Mr. Draper said this morning. 81 be-
lieve the boy was actually lost until
Tuesday evening when he was picked
up by men who thought they saw an
opportunity of making a piece of
money by holding him. The thing to
do now is to hunt out these men.
How the Dogs Worked.
Thursday morning, in company with
Mr.. Britain and two other men,
started the dogs at point about three
miles northeast of the Toll Gate and
in fifteen minutes we picked up a trail
that was not over six hours old. We
could see where the boy had passed
through the wet grass. He would
avoid patches of brush to keep from
scratching his legs and the trail was
so plain that even Mr.. Britain could
see it. We followed the tracks for
about quarter of a mile when they
disappeared and the dogs We're unable
to pick up the scent again, which full
ly convinces me that the boy was
picked up and carried.
I'm no less than a dozen places did
the dogs take up the boys tracks dur
ing the two days we were out in the
mountains, but the result was always
the same. the trail would be lost only
to be picked up again at some point
further on. I would have given $100
out of my own pocket if l could have
gotten the dogs to work Monday or
even Tuesday morning. If we had I
am convinced the boy would be safe In
his parents arms now.
Il am satisfied with the work of the
dogs and it is no fault of theirs that
they could not locate the boy. We were
simply working against men who are
playing a deep game, the outcome of
which is problematical.

eve went out again yesterday morn
ing but the scent was too old and
the dogs could do nothing. The boy
was evidently spirited further back
into the mountains Thursday night
Mr.. Britain is confident that the boy
is safe and is taking a more hopeful
view of the situation. He believes in
time the kidnappers will make over
lures to return the boy for a consid-

Mr.. brittan viii Remain in Mount
aims and Hunt For Son
SEARCHING PARTIES OUT AGAIN TODAY
EFFORT WILL NOW BE MADE TO
FIND MYTHICAL CAMP OF
Ex-cONvICTS.

TOLL GATE, July 21.-Although it
is pretty we'll established that little
Cecil Britain is in the hands Of kid
nappers, search for the boy is to be
continued for several days yet by par
ties camping here in hope Of finding
some trace of the boy if he has not
been spirited out of the mountains.
Mr.. Britain will probably remain In
the mountains all summer and keep up
the search. Two different parties went
out again this morning to beat over a
section of timber east of here that has
not been thoroughly searched.
No New Developments.
Aside from the tracks found by Dra-
per's bloodhounds no trace of the boy
has been found up to this time. Search
is to be made for the mythical camp
of the ex-convicts who are supposed to
have stolen the boy in hope of claim
ing the reward later on. If the camp
can be found an effort will be made to
track the men from that point. Most Of
the searching parties have gone and
the hunt will be continued by campers
and such men as put in an appearance
for the purpose of taking up the
search in hope of winning the reward
offered for the return of the boy.
Since the theory that the boy has
been kidnapped has been generally ac-
cepted campers are becoming more
cheerful over the situation.

AT the last term of the federal court
Willie Mon having failed to produce
a certificate of registration he was ord
cred deported by. Judge Whitson and is
now back in China
Owing to the fact that Wah Hop was
afflicted with consumption and at the
request of Attorney Cosgrove for fur
ther time in which to make an effort
to secure the Chinaman's certificate,
the order of deportation was Temporal
riy suspended in his case. In the
meantime Attorney COsgrove secured
an absolute pardon from Governor
Mead for the Chinaman He was

Fisher Gets Evidence.
Several weeks ago acting under the
instruction of the department Inspector
Fisher went to Pomeroy and while he
was there obtained a complete list of
the Chinese who were registered in
that town. In the list was a Chinaman
named Lee Cling Hing. After COM
pleting the work at Pomeroy Inspector
Fisher came back to Walla Walla and
went to the ST. Mary's hospital where
Wah Hop is now receiving medical at
tention and questioned him as to his
acquaintance with the Cinnamon at
Pomeroy AS their names were called
he claimed that he knew them all. The
last name mentioned was that of Lee
Cling Hing, when Wah Hop, with a
smile and in an excited manner in
formed the inspector that that was his
true name. The official then made a
complete examination of the Chinaman,
took his measurements and> together
with a photograph sent the informa-
ton to Washington, D. c. There the
records were searched and it was
found that Wah Hop was none other
than Lee Cling Hing. Yesterday copy
of the Chinaman's registration papers
were received from Washington and
are now in possession of the China
man.
