Each Patrolnan Given Description OF
Missing Lad-Father Walks the
Streets All Night.

After YEARLY tramping the streets all
last night and today in search for his
missing ii -scar-old son Walter, Elijah
g13ooher, an old veteran from Topeka,
kan. was compelled to start on his.
Journey home this afternoon, broken
under TERRIBLE suspense of uncertainty
regarding his boy.
Mr.. Booher With his two boys, Wal
ter, the missing lad, and Eddie, aged
fiye years, have been in attendance.
at the nncnnpment, and We're to have
left sforttllcir home over the Denver &,
Rio Grande yesterday afternoon at S
O'clock While the father and younger
boy were to take their baggage 10 the
train, Walter was to call at a home
ON East Fourth South where the wo-.
man was to prepare alunch for tho
travellers. The boy called nj the house
and when he received the lunch bass
ket. was given instructions to go to
the Rio Grand depot where he would
meet his father.
AS the train time approached and the
father waiting at the depot failed to-
see his boy, impatience gave way to
anxiety and worry AS the train pulled
out of the depot the, father, with the
little brother, still stood on the plat
form waiting for the arrival of Walter
iAftersan hours wait the father re-
turned uptown and called at the house
where the boy went to get the lunch,
10 find that he had left there in ample
4 time for the train.
Then began the long anxious search
Z through the city for the boy. This
morning the father called at police
headquarters, his Gees showing the
sleepless night and the dread fear.
z Each patrolman was given a descrip-
ton of the missing boy and at noon.
when no trace of the lad had been dis
covered. the conclusion was reached
that the boy must have boarded the
train with the expectation of finding
his father and brother there, and that
he is now on his way east.
The railroad officials have taken the
matter up by telegraph in the hope
of locating the boy on the train and
the police here will keep a. close watch
for him should he still be in the city.
The father and younger boy leave this
afternoon for their Kansas home.
/ Mn. BoohelSs trip west has been one
of misfortune. Teaving Topeka Il the
father and two sons went direct to
Seattle. There Mr. Booher was the vic
tim of thieves who stole not only his
money but the railroad tickets as we'll, 3
and the little party was stranded in
the fair city until they secured help
from Kansas to enable them to make
the return trip.
