Was Baby Killed by Hunters7

The disappearance of the 3-year-old
Karvela boy Of Lake Linden is the
most mysterious in the history of the
copper district. Proceeding with other
children to meet his father, who lives
at the Allouez location, the little boy
sat down in the woods beside the road,
while his small companions continued
on their way. The youhgster was tired
and could go no further. He was eau
toned to remain where he was, yet
from that day TO this no clue to his
whereabouts has been discovered.
There are all sorts of rumors and
theories afioat One belief is that he
has been stolen, despite that his par.
ents are poor people, because il he
had merely wandered away 1t would
have been impossible for one OF his
years to have strayed out Of the area
which has been covered so paintaking-
ly by the searchers. If he were dead
from exposure or hunger his body
would have been yielded up to the
search. II an animal-and there have
been wolves reported in the vicinity
had devoured him traces of his cloth
ing would have been found. So, 1t is
argued ii must have been that he was
carried away by some one.
A still more horrible theory Is that
the child was killed by hunters in mis-
take for game, and was buried so that
they might escape the legal penalty of
10 years in prison.
Though hundreds of men have en-
gagged in the search, and the territory
in the vicinity of the spot where the
child was last seen, 16 days ago, has
been thoroughly beaten for miles
around, no trace of the lad has been
found.
