George 'Cammer, young farmer

the storm of last week, for be has
ben missing since. Cammer had
been working at the home Of Tom
Whitley, six miles south Of Des
Laos and it is believed that while
doing his chores in the storm. he
became lost and wandered away
from the buildings, and becoming
exhausted, persisted in the terrible
blizzard that was raging at the time.
Searching parties have been out.
but no trace can be found Of the
mans body. If Cammer persisted,
his body is more than likely cover
ed with snow by this time and 1t
may be that it will not be recover
ed until spring. Cammer wore
Whittey's fur coat at the time he
disappeared, and probably carried
a lantern, for the lantern is missing
from the house. It would have
been very easy to become confused
In the storm, for one could not see
scarcely any distance ahead during
the blizzard. Cannmer was unmar-
ried. He came from England some
years ago and was known as a
steady fellow. Whitley and family
were away when Cammer disappear
ed, and the fact that he was missing
was not known until some time
after the storm subsidized. The
young man was q years OF age.
