HOW THEY WERE LOST AND FOUND
Mr.. G. c. Hawkey, the Father of Gene
Hawkey, Gives Interesting sDescrip- =
ton of the Boys Rescue

That Tom jenkins and Gene Haw-
key are alive, is the wonder of the
time. How any man could go through
the blizzard they were out in. with
little protection, two nights and a
day without food or shelter in the
worst snow storm of years, and come
out as they have with little perman-
ent damage, is almost beyond belief.
They are today feeling pretty good,
though they will be under the doctors
care for a few days yet.
The systematic work done by the
many rescue parties undoubtedly
saved them from death. The whole
country was secured and they were
found by little party which included
Hawkey's father.

white there vas a nssie system, or

Whi,s there was katie system. or
cohesiveness. with the first searching
parties that left here to look for the
lost boys, but organization was de-
veloped as. the requirements of the
situation increased and a code of sig
nails were evolved and plans formu-
lated for mutual assistance in case
of accident of any kind before the re-
lief parties had finished their work.
The signal code was suggested by ].
p: Waits one Of the most energetic
and indefatigable members of the re?
lief expedition. Each party was pro-
vided with one or more revolvers, a.
lantern. a rope and luncheon. Ono
shot from revolver meant that ey-
erything was all right; two shots
meant attention; three shots, distress
and four shots fired in rapid success

formation that the boys were found.

with Tom. It was a good thing TOO,
that 1t was Tom and not one of the
other boys. because we surely would
have frozen. AS 1t was. Tom kept
agoing and that kept us from freez-
ing.
When we got to the top OF the
Gorge we tried to start fire but we
couldn't do it. We began to walk
then All the time we knew that we
were lost but We didn't know where
we were going. About ~ O'Clock Sat-
urday night we built IRE and stayed
beside It until early Sunday morning
Tom had a compass with him but he
didn't know how to work it. He didn't
know whether it was the blue end or
the brass end that pointed to the
north. Sunday it was cloudy and we
couldn't follow the sun. We ate snow
and twigs and everything like that.
We were about forty feet from
some mountain sheep at one time but
Tom didn't have his gun loaded, so

was awful deep up there and the
country was very rough.
Tom and l were just going on our
nerve. Monday morning We tried to
guide ourselves by the sun but We
found out afterwards that we were
going in the wrong direction.
The first that We saw of anybody
was three men going across an open
space about half mile away. Be-
fore that, though. We had sighted a
cabin and were making for that.
When we saw the men We hollered
and yelled and fired off the gun. They
didn't see us for a few minutes but it
wasn't long till they reached us. We
were placed on a horse and taken to
the Maude jenkins cabin where we
got something to eat. We were awful
tired and just about all in"

INCIDENTS CONNECTED
WITH THE SEARCH

Naturally there were many Incl
dents OF more or less interesting
character in searching among the
mountains on such day as last Sun
day and that nobody was killed. or
seriously hurt, is little short Of the
miraculous. The country where the
boys were lost is one OF the toughest
in this section OF the state. II Is a
hard matter to traverse II in the sum
NOR months on account OF the almost
impossible canons. gulches and pit
falls: dangers that are multiplied
many times In such a storm as has
prevailed there for the past week.

THE CLIMAX" GIVEN BY 4
VERY CAPABLE
COMPANY

The Climax" presented at the Os-
os theatre Monday night, was we'll re-
ceived by an audience which would
have, no doubt. beon much larger

for the play-goers.
The Climax" is one OF those whole
some dramas that always find favor
with those who appreciate the best
in theatrical entertainment. Tho story
upon which the play is predicated

Ohio town where she was born. fol-
lows her to New York and to save
her from the evils he thinks the stage
career will bring upon her. he con-
spires TO convince her through mon
tai suggestion that her voice has
been ruined by an operation.
Believing her stage career must be
abandoned the girl consents to marry
the physician. On the day set for ths
wedding she RECEIVERS her voice and
the physician oonfesses that he has
misled her. She renounces her lover
and decides to live for her are until
she can at least convince her lover
that his opinions of the stage are
wrong.
There Is but one scene in the three
acts and but four people In the cast
but the play tells a strong story IN q
highly dramatic and interesting man
ner. Frank Patton as Luigi 0oifanti.
the music teacher. Roy Merrill as
Pietro Golfanti. a musical genius. and
Wesley Todd as Or. John Raymond
all displayed ability and carried out
their parts In the most acceptabls

ridges that swing along the top of
the gorge until we got opposite the
hanging bridge. then we swung
around and worked the ridges along
Grape creek until we got to-what's
that place up there? Oh. yes. Temple

The boys were found net far from

Frank Pauls had charge of the party
to certain extent. Pauls, Ireland.
Hayworth and Hawkey were the first
OF the party to reach Webster park.
They went out together. About 2
o'clock Sunday afternoon they were
joined by Gleason, Broughton, Wright
and Johnson. Wyckoff and Higden,
who left Canon at noon Sunday. join
ed the party at O'Clock. Mr.. G. o.
Hawkey. father OF Gene, said this
morning: Il had it figured out that
the boys were somewhere on Web
ster park but | did not know just
Nhtlt Oul pdi y ~ up
Grape creek quite ways and then
work our way through Webster park
TO the river. We hunted all Sunday
afternoon without avail but we did
not give up hope. BY night We had
a party of ten men. although Hay
worth, ireland and pauls and ! COM
prised our original party. Sunday
night we stayed a. the cabin owned
by Maude Jenkins
Monday morning we started out in
parties of three on foot That is. six
OF MS did. The rest went on horse
back TO ride through the open coUu-
try to the southwest. The country we
traversed was rough and hilly and
the snow was above our knees all the
time We had not gone very far when
we thought We heard shouts and
shots. We listened intently and at
last we heard the boys hollerins for
help. One OF the horsemen. Chester
Hisden, saw the boys about the same
time we did and although he was
farther away than we were he got
to them first Frank Pauls was on an
elevation some distance away and he
saw the boys before any OF us but
he was too far away to get TO them
first Higden got down off of his
horse and we placed the two boys on
it and took them to the Jenkins cab
in. There We gave them food. and
clothing. One Of the horsemen, Frank
Broughton, hurried onto the Bill
Smith ranch TO telephone the glad
news into town. Chas. vanPatten hap
pened to be telephoning to Smiths
at the time and Brovghton told him
We had a rig come out from Reeves
livery and we brought the boys into
town"

LYLE sULLIyANs' STORY.

along in slow manner. Jenkins had
a lunch but ! didn't When we met
the river near the pipe line foot
bridge. We were shooting at the
rocks and icicles just for fun. They
Joined us soon after and we went 10
look for the cave together. We didn't
find anything OF Importance up there
so we thought We would go to the
top and see what else we could see
We came out on a level pasture land
and we must have walked around
that for at about three-thirty We found
that we were not far from the point
where we had started. After that We
started along the top striking out
for home. IL was rough and rocky
in places and at one point We must
enty feet. Anyway jenkins and Haw-
key got in the draw and couldn't
get out until we helped them. After
we got out of there Jenkins wanted
TO go to the top of the Gorge again
and strike for Grape creek and come
home that way.

me and Carter decided 10 go along
the river. Carter started out around
