SEARCH is RENEWED FOR
BODY OF HOWARD CARPENTER

A systematic search for the remains
OF Howard Carpenter, above Sapinero.
has been started again this week.
Young Carpenter disappeared last fall
while guiding party on deer hunt.
The hills were thoroughly searched
for weeks, but no trace found.
There were two opinions, about di-
yided after the search for the body
bore no fruit. One was that he had
betaken himself to other quarters, the
other that he was the victim of fatal
accident and that his body was still
hidden from the searchers. somewhere
in the hills. His family are so fully
convinced of this latter theory being
the true one that Mr.. Carpenter, Sr.,
has been recently employing men by
the month to more completely scour
the hills for trace of his remains un-
ii is said that he now has eight or
ten searchers in the field.
At the time of his disappearance it
was cited that Carpenter had some
trouble over a love affair, and this.
perhaps more than anything else. gave
grounds for certain of his friends to
suspect that he disappeared OF his own
accord. Others scout the idea. point
ing out that sucn a course was not
necessary nor in accord with his dis
position. He was a skilled hunter and
guide end had been raised in the sec
tion where he disappeared, therefore
thoroughly acquainted with every foot
OF the ground.

Amonc Fishermen

Among those of Delta who gave the
trout a try at the opening of the sea
son on the Gunnison were: W. f.
Obert, DIT. Burgess, Edwin c. Shearer,
J. Albert Hurst and A. NJ. Anderson.
All fished at Sapinero and all caught
fish. All except The Independent man
made fine catches and even he caught
as many as he could eat on the trip
and that's going some. The fishing
was about as during the opening days
last spring, though the river was three
or four feet lower. On Monday night
there was raise of Is inches. Tues
day night the river dropped back near
ly a foot. because of the cooler tenn
perature. Quite a number from Ola
the and Montrose stopped off in Curl
cante canon. A good many pound
trout were caught but few that were
much heavier. One thing noted was
the greater prevalence of Loeb Laven.
about Is per cent of catches being of
that variety. while heretofore the Loeb
Laven caught would not exceed five
per cent. This would indicate that
the gamy Loeb Laven is increasing
and doing well in the G.nnison. 1t is
predicted. because of the earlier set
ting in OF warm weather. that the will
low fly will be out in about two weeks,
or by the 10th TO 18th of June. The
cutting off of railroad passes will
greatly decrease the number of fish
.rmen this season. but will help to
make the fishing better for those who
oC so.
