ranch. He was unable to pursue his
parents and during the last five years
has made a living by helping punch
cows and doing work about cattle
ranches.
During the last two a farmers
have been pouring into the Malta dis
trict. and it Don became necessary
for Harry to make other arrange
ments for a living. The thought &C.
CURED to him that he would begin a
search for his parents. He had not
saved anything out of his meager
earnings, and did not ever have
enough none to buy a ticket to Mi
not.
Determined. however, to find his
mother and other loved ones, Harry
set out. By catching rides on trains
when possible and walking on the
ties on other occasions. he finally
made his way to Minot. He landed
here at 10 o'clock last night on the
blind baggage of No. IS. with his feet
frozen. He was taken to the police
station where he was taken good care
OF.
Yes. I am very anxious to see my
mother. father and sisters again." said
Harry today. IT have not seen them
for five years and you can imagine
how feel. The last l heard of them
they wer" somewhere around Minot,
and I am going to continue the search
until find them. My fathers name
was Elijah Ball. He at one time had

After a while he became aware of
