The secret slipped out last night

few months visiting relatives and was
to have returned to her home here

FIVE YEAR-OLD BOY
CANNOT BE FOUND
Son of Jas. Packham of Reno
Disappears Near Scales and
All Efforts to Locate Him
Have Failed

GERS returned to this city about II
o'clock last night night. but up to that
time no trace of the lad had been
found
During the evening a score of peo-
pie were searching the hills in every
direction, several being out on horse
back. Footprints we're found where
the boy went off the railroad track,
but he only went a short distance
before coming back again. Another
track was found below the railroad
but people have walked over it and it
was impossible to find where it ended.
The search was again taken up this
morning and hundreds of people are
searching the entire vicinity Of Scales
for the boy. While it is not believed
that he fell in the shaft as no tracks
were to-day found leading up to il
that could have been made by him
nevertheless if no trace of the lad is
found by tonight a charge of dyna.
mite will be placed there and exploded
in hopes of raising the body if it i:
there.
A party of the searchers arrived il
this city shortly after l o'clock thi.
afternoon and reported that as yet n,
trace of he missing lad had beel
found. The parents are nearly craze,
over the loss of their child and fea
that something serious must hav
happened to him.
The boy and his mother, a sister O
Mrs. Kenny, arrived from Reno a fe,
days ago on a visit.

VIRGINIA April 17.-Yesterday
Pete Kenny, section foreman at Scales
started up the railroad track about
half past seven o'clock accompanied
by his nephew, who arrived from Reno
few days ago to visit him. After
going about a mile the boy, aged five
years, got tired and his uncle told him
to go back to the house.
The lad turned around and started
back Kenny watching him until he
had gone about half a mile, when he
(Kenny) turned around and continued

NO AUTOS IN TURKEY.
Imperial Trade Bars Them Even From
~COnstantinople.

LONDON, July S.-The auto has definitely
ceased honking in Turkey. Some very en-
terprising Westerners attempted some time
back to introduce motor cars into Constanti-
nople. 1t was in the cities alone that they
would be Of any use, as the roads, n
especially the bridges across the rivers, in
the Sultan's dominions are in such q state
as to make motoring impossible. The i'm
porters, however, were at once met by strict
injunctions against the use OF their machines
and no diplomatic efforts made by Ambassa-
doris and Ministers awaited.
The Turkish authorities remained ada
mant, and now the news comes that an
imperial trade just issued ordains that
once and for all no automobiles a be
tolerated in the city or suburbs. According
to the despatch, the decree is giving great
satisfaction to the Mussulman population
and probably to the hordes Of ownerless
street dogs that act as the city's scaven-
gers, for their habits and functions would
be seriously interfered with were motor cars
to appear in the streets Of STEAMBOAT.
