SEARCH is CONTINUED.
Nearly One Hundred Men Securing
Woods for Body of Hunter.

weary One 1unured Men securing
Woods for Body OF Hunter.
Reports from Sidnaw indicate that
the hunt for the body OF Robert Belly,
the missing hunter. is being vigorously
pushed, and that the number of search
ers now securing the woods is close
To a hundred. The fact that reward
of $4,000 is being offered for the find
ing of the body, either dead or alive.
has caused many to leave their work
and spend the time searching for the
missing man.
1t is believed by some that the appe-
lite of hungry wolves was satisfied by
the remains OF the hunter. The re-
turn Of the son, William Beilby, TO his
home does not necessarily indicate
that the search has been abandoned
entirely by the relatives. The father
and son were associated in business,
conducting a large grocery store at
Dowagiac. according TO reports re-
ceived here. 1t was impossible to al
low the business to continue without
proper attention and the son returned
to his home for that reason Whether
he intends returning to assist in the
search has not been learned. but the
large reward offered is strong evidence
of the desire on the part of the family
TO secure the remains.

How the Stream Was Brought to an
Even Slope and Current.
In the beginning the Elbe, like any
other river, wandered at its will, now
spreading out among multitude Of is
lands, now narrowing into a short and
/ crooked turn. now widening over a
shoal. AS proper beginning for the
correction of this sort Of thing the
Prussians, In true German style, pre-
pared a map Of the stream as it was,
decided by simple mathematical cal
culation how wide a channel 1.50 me-
tiers deep at middle water could be
with the existing flow and then upon
the map in red ink, eliminating all
sharp turns, drew in graceful curves
and long straight reaches regardless of
the existing banks two nearly parallel
lines, indicating the banks as they
were intended to be.
The engineers began at the head of
the stream and built out from the old
shore to the location of the red line
transverse bikes, ground sills-ordi
nary contraction works. Sometimes
where they seemed to be needed they
built long parallel bikes exactly on the
new red line. Sometimes they wove
hurdles and revetment mattresses of
willow brush, much as we do at home,
and sunk them on bars between the
tips of the transverse bikes, and then
on the top of them set up upright
sticks and wove waffle or basket
fences of willow through them to make
pens, and into these piled sand dredg
ed from the stream, to build up the
shore. Mile by mile they advanced.
