Edwin Adams. the 9-year old son OF
G. II. Adams, of Lamont Station, near
Kane, was lost in the woods Saturday,
April 10th, and although thousands OF
men have secured the woods since that
time, no trace of the lad has been found.
With three other lads, all older than him
self, he was trout fishing along private
stream when they saw man approach
ing whom they thought was game war
den. The boys all ran in different direc-
tions and young Adams has not been
seen since. On the same day Mike Stef-
fan, the 6.year-old son of George Stefan,
of Ludlow, got lost in the woods while
fishing with a number of other boys, and
no trace of him can be found. There is
talk of kidnapping, but the parents o
the lads are poor, and therefore this is
not generally believed. Harry Arrow
smith, demented young man of Cory
don, who disappeared about the same
time, has returned home and could give
no account of his wanderings.
