YOUNG CHILD REPORTED LOST.
Four$ ear-Oid Son OF John Owens,
Pine Mountain, Has Disappeared.

News was brought to Walhalla last
week of the disappearance of a child,
between four and five years of age,
son of John Owens, of Pine
Mountain, Ca, just across the
Oconse county line, on Christmas
Eve.S According to the report the
little child was missed from home
just Before dark and search of the
premises was made without finding
any trace of him. The alarm was
then given and posse organized to
make a. more extended search, but
this, too, proved Intellectual so far as
recovering the lost child was con-
cerned, and a citizen OF that section
who was in Walhalla Monday stated
thatano trace whatever Of the child
has been gotten up to the present
time!s fThe reports state that there
wereBlpwards of $50 men engaged in
the search.
Several theories have been ad-
vanced since the disappearance Of
the child, some holding to the belief
that Ahg wandered away and was lost,
othersfthat he was killed and eaten
by some wild animal, while still 9TH
ers, seem to think that the little one
was Kidnapped. The total absence
OF any clue whatever lends strength
to the kidnapping theory, as the
night on which the child left home
was a bitterly cold one, and no child
could have long withstood the freez-
ing weather, yet no trace of the body
has ever been found. The wild beast
theory, it would seem, is equally i'm
possible, as had the child been killed
by some animal, traces of the cloth
ing would have surely been found.
The mystery surrounding the dis
appearance has engaged the atten-
tion OF Indreds since it ,curred
but, soafar as we have be ID able to
learn3it remains as far rom solu-
tion as when the child's absence was
first discovered.

AUTO BANDITS SHOW FIGHT.
Abandon Their Car Whom Pressed
Closely by Modified Police.

Chicago, Jan. 4.-Fifty detectives
searched Saturday for four automo-
bile bandits who last night robbed a
northside jewelry store Of diamonds
valued at $1,000, fought two revol-
yer battles with the police and caus-
ed terror by firing into the crowd of
shoppers on one Of the principag
streets. Two suspects have been ar
rested.
The four automobile bandits
smashed in jewelry store window
and escaped with tray of diamonds.
Their escape was aided by fashion,
ably dressed woman, who apparently
tainted into the arms of a policeman
as he started to draw his revolver
AS soon as the thieves were out Of
sight the woman recovered herself
and disappeared.
Twenty shots were exchanged as
the machine gained speed. The chat
feur manipulated the machine so
that 1T poured out cloud of smoke,
which aided in the escape
A few minutes later the bandits
car was boarded by policeman, who
charged them with speeding and or
dered them to drive to a police sta
ton. They wheeled into quiet
street with the policeman and there
shot, stabbed and beat him and
threw him off the car.
The men abandoned their automo-
bile, which had been stolen just be-
fore the robbery, and disappeared in
a crowded section OF the west side.
The thieves stole the car from in
front Of a downtown business build
ing late in the afternoon.

l2leans sweep Of the wires had been
fmade from Jacksonville to Maine
and that the storm was the most se-
we're of recent years.

The most serious instance to-day was
the break near Philadelphia OF more
than 60 through wires between New

Case i'm Chester County.

Columbia, Jan. 4.-Chester county
has developed q case Of cerebro spi-
nal meningitis, and after his return
last night from an inspection of the
case DR.. j. A. Hayne, State health
officer, made the following state
ment:
"In view Of the fact that epidem-
les Of cerebro spinal meningitis have
occurred in the neighboring States
Of Georgia and Tennessee, it is ad-
vised that physicians be on their
guard and report to the State health
officer at Columbia Immediately any
cases occurring.
Il vas called to Chester last
night ny DR.. II. G. Mcconnell to see
case Of this disease, which clini-
Cally ar1 afterwards by the mincro-
scope, + owed to be genuine cerebro
spinal meningitis.
"The State board of health had on
hand a limited supply of the serum
used in the treatment Of the disease.
spinal cord after a sufficient guam
tity Of fluid has been withdrawn. 1t
reduces the death rate about one
half or more.
''Tnere is no epidemic Of this dis
ease in this State, nor have we rea-
son to fear such an epidemic If the
State Board of Health, through it's
executive officers, is Immediately no.
titled of all cases that may occur.
at is called to the attention Of the
| Legislature that the board will be
without funds until March l, and
should an epidemic occur they wish
that they be authorized by the Legis-
| lature to spend what may be neces-
sary in checking the disease.
"The serum was administered to
the patient last night and the child
seemed improved after the injection.
l would say further that the germ OF
this disease gains entrance into the
system through the nose and the
| throat, and that If an antiseptic gar
gle and spray are used there is little
| danger Of contracting the disease, as
the germ is easily killed."

THE TURKS MAY YET YIELD.
Peace Conference Suspended, But
Probably Will Be Resumed.

London, Jan. 6.-The first stage of
the peace negotiations which is re-
garded by diplomats largely as one
Of pretense on Turkeys part to avoid
the appearances of yielding to the
demands Of the allies without pres
sure from the powers, is over now. 1t
is expected that the second stage
will soon begin with the powers act
ing behind the scenes and pulling the
strings which will compel Turkey to
concede to the bulk of the allies de-
mands.
Without money, her army made
quate and demoraliZed, her states
men realize that Turkey is in no con-
dition to resume hostilities.
At to-day's sitting Of the confer
ence Turkey renounced her rights in
the Island Of Crete and promised a
rectification Of the Thracian from
tier, but insisted upon the retention
of Adrianople. The allies declared
this was not satisfactory and sus-
pended the conference.
May BE Resumed.
That does not mean an end Of the
negotiations, however. The confer
ence may be resumed either by Tur-
key giving notification that either
she has fresh proposals to submit, or
by the allies, on the grounds that
they have communications to make
to the Turks.
II Is generally expected that the
work of the conference will be taken
up again at the end of the week,
when the festivities in connection
with the Orthodox Christmas are
ended.
