territory, has been practically stamped

at the end Of the same term Of court,
there were fifty prisoners, and some Of
Of them were sent up for murder It
has been nearly two years since there
was even a case Of highway robbery in

ing improved largely by the influx Of
good people into that country This
crowds the bad ones out.

CHILD WANDERS
AWAY FROM Home
Fears Entertained that Little Girl Has
Been Caught in Woods and De-
vOured by Wild Animals.

Last Saturday evening about i've
o'clock the three year old daughter Of
Henry Woods, residing one and one
half miles northeast Of zena, /. a.,
strolled away from home and has not
since been seen or heard Of, though a
diligent search has been kept up day
and night.
Thursday three hundred men were
engaged in the hunt for the little one.
She had been missing only a few min
utes when the search began, but not a
single trace of her could be found.
The surrounding country is very
rough, and, it is said, big timber VOL
yes are in the vicinity. Fears are
entertained that the little girl was
carried off and devoured by wild ami
mails.
Henry Vandergrilf while engaged in
the search sustained broken leg by
his horse falling with him.
This is the most singular and mYs-
terious disappearance ever heard Of in
that section Of the country.
