SEARCH PROVES
UNSUCCESSFUL
Sheriff and County Attorney Secure
No Tangible Clues AS to Will
liams' Disappearance.
NEIGHBORS ARE AT WORK
Three Theories Advanced But No
One Able to Tell Whether Or
Not Any Are Correct.

Sheriff Ed Martin and County At
torney Roy +. Ayers returned Sun
day night from three hundred mile
trip made for the purpose Of attempt
ing to locate any possible clues
which might lead up to the cause OF
the disappearance of Sam Williams, a
rancher OF the lower Musselshell
country, who has been missing for
nearly month past
The officers left Lewistown We'd
nesday morning and made half the
distance the first day. Thursday they
arrived at Williams place on the
Musselshell, eight miles below Breed
crossing.
The neighbors Of the missing man,
having heard that the officers were
coming, met them at the Williams
place and rendered every possible as
sistance in the search.
Enquiries BY the officers showed
that, SO far as known, Williams had
no enemies anywhere. in the country.
and on the other hand was we'll
liked by everyone,
There appears to be no reason for
the man skipping out as he was well
fixed financially, having good
ranch and about 100 head of cattle
He owed but very small sum com
pared to the value Of his property.
Three possible causes for the dis
appearance were given by those in
the community. Some think that he
may have ridden out into the hills
and a,ct with fatal accident. Others
believe that he may have been muir
dered and the third possible cause is
that he may have Intentionally left
the country The first cause is con
sidered by far the most probable and
the officers will proceed upon that
hypothesis.
An examination of his cabin show
ed that he had left the house without
either his spurs or his chaps. This
leads his friends to believe that he
had no intention of going any great
distance as, when he left for very
much of a ride, he invariably put on
these articles.
Fourteen or fifteen of the neighbors
have been searching the hills for the
past two weeks and under the direc-
tion Of the officers, all Of the deep
holes in the river were dragged and
the country on both sides Of the river
thoroughly searched
Before leaving, the officers instruct
ed the men in the community to
continue the search out through the
hills back from the river and this is
now being done.
Sheriff Martin said that he has two
or three little matters to look up in
connection with the mans disappear
ance but just at this time, the chances
of locating the missing man or his
body appear to be about as remote
as ever.

PASADENA, Sept. 5.--For the second
time within two weeks a party of persons
has been lost in descending Wilson'S peak.
On this occasion, as on the previous one.
the party lost the trial in attempting to
make short cuts across the bends In the
beaten path The topography of the
mountain slope is so exceedingly irregu-
lar and the canyons so densely wooded
that such an undertaking is a perilous one
after the evening shadows begin to
lengthen.
Yesterday afternoon about o'clock Mr
and Mrs. c. III. Smith, who had been
spening the day on Wilson's peak, started
to tramp down over the trail to Orchard
camp. Seeing What appeared to be a
number of short cuts across the numerous
long bends in the trail, some of which are

They turned out in one of the apparent

trail, and soon they found themselves
struggling up and down the/slopes through
the thick underbrush, endeavoring to get
back to the beaten path. Orchard camp
was reached after a four hours trip
through the brush, which had torn their
clothes to rags and left them footsore and
weary nearly to exhaustion. Mr.. and Mrs

PITTSBURG, Pa, Sept. 5.-Rabbi j.
Leonard Levy, president of the Pittsburg
Peace society and delegate to the peace
conference in New York and to The
Hague, returned. today from a ten weeks
trip to Europe.
Rabbi Levy's mission abroad was for
the purpose of having the German manu-
facturers of military toys discontinue the
manufacture and sale of such toys, so as
to clear from the minds of children war
fort. Discussing his mission, he said:
Manufacturers of toys in Germany,
more especially in Nuremberg, advised
me that their work was clearly COM
mercial proposition. The Germans make
toys for our market because 1t is the best
in which to sell. We cannot expect any
assistance from the peace conference at
The Hague in this direction. The com
mercial benefits are too important for
the manufacturers to permit the peace
delegates to interfere with their work.
The manufacturers abroad admitted that
the peace proposition was good in theory
and can only be worked out by the Amer
lean people.
'That Americans should invent some
peace toys and have them made in Ger
many in place of the war toys now made
was their idea, and If the Americans
would buy the peace toys in preference
to the war toys the Germans would stop
the manufacture of war toys, provided.
however, that the Germans be given the
same market they now have. This is the
only way the abolition Of the manufac-
ture of war toys can be brought about"

SUN ENGINE is TESTED
BY FRANKLIN INSTITUTE
Committee Submits New Tacony In
vention to Most Searching In-
vestigation-scientists
Are Pleased

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 5.-To inspect
the new sun engine invented by Frank
Shuman, the engineer and chemist of
34OO Disston street, Tacony, committee
from the Franklin institute yesterday
visited Mr.. Shuman's residence, where
the new motor is on exhibition. Mr..
Shuman has already received two med
ais from the institute for former in
ventions and he believes the sun engine
is the greatest of his accomplishments.
The committee arrived at Mr.. Shu-
mans residence soon after o'clock,
and for nearly two hours was busily
engaged in testing the sun motor along
all lines. They tried the engine geared
to a pump and then disconnected it and
ran it free. The day was ideal for the
test, and during the afternoon the heat
of the sun maintained a pressure of l20
pounds per inch in the boiler.
The scientists tested the horsepower,
speed and condensation of the apparatus
before they left and will continue their
tests before making their report to the
institute From remarks that were let
drop during the inspection it is evident
that the committee was pleased with
the engine. and Mr.. Shuman is more
confident than ever that he will be able
to use the suns heat to generate pow
er for practical purposes.
