B~Ioodhounds Used to
Trail Missing Boy

Tulare Is in the throes of a mystery
that is battling all solution. A young
man, Ollie Walker, apparently with
no reason whatever, has disappeared,
and searching parties, and even a pair
of b%loodhounds, have been Of no avail
in locating his present whereabouts.
Walker is a young man Of eighteen
years, weighs about $50 pounds, and
stands five feet five inches tall, is
of fair complexion, medium brown
hair, brown eyes, heavy set, wore n
light gray cap, a new suit of brown,
black lace shoes and a dark necktie.
and he has a scar on his upper lip.
Such is the description Of the
young man, the son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
N. w. Walker, who live about two and
a half miles north of Tulare. He
went into Tulare SundaJ morning AMI
attended church. He stayed in town
that afternoon with friends and at
tended church again in the evening
with some youthful friends. After
church the boys separated, Walker
heading north toward home, saying
that he must go home, as he had to
get up early the next morning to
| sfauck some corn. This is the last
seen or heard of him.
The parents of the lad did not be-
come much alarmed until along about
Monday afternoon, thinking that he
probably had stayed over with some
of the boys in Tulare. When he did
not come home that afternoon, inquir-
les were started which developed the
fact that no n knew where he was.
Tuesday a more Figid, search was
made, but nothing came of it. and the
bloodhounds at Mitchell were sen for,
these arriving that evening. The next
day Sheriff Hurst went over and or
ganized a large searching party of.
some twenty-five men on horses and
as many more in buggies and wagons.
The party searched for miles in all
directions, but were finally forced to
give up the hunt. 4 , J
The bloodhounds we're given the
scent from a pair Of the lads shoes.
When loosed at the church where the
boys had separated SuIlay night, the
dogs went due north in the course the
boy had taken at that time, but only
for a few rods when they turned and
went straight east to a corner of a
fence near the railroad track. Here
they turned south again and entered
the east gate of the fence, leading to
a residence, and here they halted. The
house was searched, but no clue to
the mystery could be found here, and
many were rather discouraged with
the work of the hounds. although the
dogs have done some excellent work
in various portions of the state.
The young man has always been
strong and healthy and has never ex-
perienced a sick day in his life. He is
of a retiring, bashful disposition, and
no reason whatever can be ascribed
to his leaving home, If he did it Of his
own accord. Many who have watched
developments are quite positive that
there has been foul play. but be this
as 1t may, the matter ID still In nm nm
solved state.-Redfeld Journal-ob ser-

The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1913-11-14

The management Of the Great
Northern has reason to be grateful to
the two tramps who last Friday pre-
vented what would certainly have been
a serious railway smash-up, accompan-
led by loss OF life. The story OF how
the accident was averted is briefly told
on the first page of this paper. II you
happen to have this story in mind
when the next tramp calls at your
back door for a hand-out you will not
let him go away empty handed. 1t
will likewise convince the world that
all tramps are not destitute Of the di-
vine spark Of helpfulness. Truly, there
is fruit for a sermon in the story.

Bless your soul, the people OF Lea
wentworth do not take and read The
Echo because they like or dislike the
editor. They want the paper because
it gives all the news and usually prints
the best news first. People go to the
store to buy goods where they get the
best goods for the money and never
give a thought to the man that owns it.
In this practical and cold-blooded busi-
ness age, sentiment, friendship and
sympathy counts about as much as a
drop of water in the ocean. The pub
Usher of The Echo means to make
this paper desirable simply on its merit,
because he is going to give its readers
a little more than their moneys worth.

The Echo is not given away. If
the publisher were to indulge in gra-
tuities and the public was not averse
to accepting charities he is barred
from so doing by the rules of the pos
tai department which forbids the free
circulation Of a newspaper and even
limits the number Of sample copies he
may send thru the mail. The rule is
founded on sound reason, to prevent
numbering the service with what the
people do not want. If a man orders
a paper and pays for it that indicates
that he wants to read it. If he re-
ceives paper that he does not think
enough of to pay for, that indicates that
he does not take enough interest in it
to read it. With the exception Of the

A Peshastin subscriber of this paper
came into the Office this week and
said he wanted to renew his subscrip-
ton. He said he liked the paper very
well but did not like the editor. Right
here is where one Of our town subscrib
ers, Fred L. Brender, differed with the
man from Peshastin. He said he did
not like the paper but took it because
he liked the editor. Mr.. Brender says
the Echo talks plain, and while some
people do not relish the truth and pre-
fer a sugar-coated falsehood to the
plain unvarnished truth, for himself he
likes to call spade spade, tho some
very good people flagellate the venera-
Bile Nicholas around the decayed rem
nant of tree by calling spade an
implement of husbandry, and thereby
remove the dilapidated linen from the
shrubbery.

FAST Foot Ball Game Played Sunday

Two teams composed of employees
of the Lamb-Davis Lumber Co. played
a fast but one-sided game on the mill
grounds last Sunday. The game was
witnessed by about fifty enthusiastic
rooters. The turtles, outweighing the
Mudfsh, played the latter off their
feet, scored five touchdowns, holding
the Mudfsh scoreless. The good
work was done mostly by the Turtles
backfeld, all Of whom played fast and
brilliant football.
A few accidents marred the game,
one of which is quite serious. Arthur
Wilder, captain and quarterback of the
Mudfsh, had his ankle badly hurt and
will not be able to use it for fort
night. Slater, OF the Turtles, received
an injury to his shoulder which retired
him from the game. Up to the time
when Captain Wilder was injured the
light but gamey Mudfsh played des-
perate football, but became disheart-
ened when they lost their leades. and
although White took charge and tried
to stem the tide they were hopelessly
beaten. Another game will be played
next Sunday between the same teams
on the same grounds. The lineup:

ed from his body andh7f is life despair
ed of. Harry F. stabler, agel 2S after
undergoing a new treatment at a
hospital here, Is able to walk about.
skin-grafting was deemed imprac-
ticable. and physicians at the hospit-
al decided to try the effect Of chemi-
cally treated air on the burned sur
face OF the patient. AS a result, rs
square inches Of surface have healed.
Little hope was entertained for
Stabler's life when he was brought to
the hospital October 4, unconscious
from burns caused by boiling tar.
The flesh on his neck, breast and alb
domen was baked to a depth Of a six
tenth of an inch and the physicians
worked over him for five hours clean
ing the burned part.
An experiment was conducted with
stabler's hand and arm and the re-
suit encouraged the physicians to ex-
tend the method. A special frame
work Of pliable wood was designed
tc fit securely about the body Of the
patient from the mouth to the waist.
The burned surface from the chin
down was exposed to the air that
filtered through the chemically treat
cd gauze stretched on the frame.
