throughout the community in the al
most tragic disappearance of Thomas
Jenkins and Gene Hawkey in the
mountains Saturday night and of the
public effort to effect their rescue.
Not for long time has anything oc-
CURED that has so deeply aroused
the general sympathy as the sudden
vanishing from sight of these two
young men and the efforts that have
been made Tor their recovery by the
people at large is little short of the
heroic.

urdsy morning at 9 O'Clock. in COM

Gorge. four or FIVE miles west of town.
They were provided with a generous
luncheon and expected to spend the
in the hills, promising, however, to
return home before dark.
Finding one small cavern, they de-
cided to search further for a larger
cave, and scaling the cliffs upward
for 1000 feet or more they reached
the plateau, high above the river.
Wading in snow some places almost
up TO their armpits. they were almost
exhausted. and with the greatest diff
ficulty succeeded in extricating theIn-
selves from the snowdrifted gulches

A binding snowstorm had set in

The country where the boys were
lost is an extremely rough one and

penetrate it at this season of the year
is fraught with the greatest danger

most impossible canons. gulches,
lodges and precipices. After dark
ness came on the members OF the
party, they held a council to discuss
the best way of getting back to town.
but were unable to agree upon a
common plan and a separation took
place; Sullivan and Carter going
down dangerously steep gulch to-
wards the river and Jenkins and
Hawkey took back towards the top
OF the mountains by n route which
they believed would lead them to

when discovered and were placed on
horseback by their rescuers and TAX
