Boone. May "a telegram received
Friday and a letter Saturday from Z.
e. Girton, of Des Moines, who is &C
companying a party of Iowa land seek
ers into wyoming for the purpose OF
interesting them in that country, says
that Sam Monson, a farmer residing
north of Boone, is lost,
Mr.. Monson, who is a single nan of
perhaps 35 years. was with Mr. Girton
and others Friday evening when the
freight train on which they were riding
toward Cheyenne was ~sidetracked for
a passenger which was due. They
stood on the track at Durham, a small
town or rather a station, for about
FIVE minutes, during which time MT.
Monsoon stepped off into the darkness.
He left his coat and grip In the car
so no thought was given to his absence
until he had been gone between five
and ten minutes and the train was
ready to go. For some time search was
made in the neighborhood of the train.
but the freight was due to leave and
the party went on to Cheyenne with
out him.
Two Of the best detectives Of the
railroad company have been put on the
trail as have all the ifs along the
way.
It seems Impossible hat he could be
so completely swallowed up in the
darkness, but not a trace Of his body
can be found to indicate that he had
been killed. It is thought by some of
the old settlers there that the altitude
has affected his mind and that he may
be found wandering alone on the
Wyoming plains. If this is the case
his condition will be indeed pitiful. Ev-
cry effort is being made both by Mr..
Girton and the railroad company to
find him, SO it is believed that he can
not remain missing very long.

Tudor styles Of architecture. Two pict-
uresque towers, one at either end, and

dows of stained glass give a distinctive
appearance to the pretty little building.
The colored windows depict seventeenth
century figures, and, like all of the other
imported parts, were hunted up III remote
corners Of Europe. The main entrance is
just opposite Randolph Hall, in Bow street.
and on the first floor the visitor gets the
first view Of one Of the best collections OF
