the spirit Of the search was the finest
thing they had seen in years
For three days and almost as many
nights some Of the business men. many
Of them in the mountains for the first
time in years, climbed, scrambled and
tramped over the mountains and up and
down canyons TO search their allotted
space for some cleW to the young man.
There was no thought Of giving up the
search until rewarded; the men went
a bout their tasks with determination

HOrace's Campfire.
or to one side Of the main camp is a
little clUmp of charred wood and
ashes. Beside the remains Of the camp
fire is a can OF condensed milk that had
not been opened. Neither the burned
out camp fire nor the little milk can
have been disturbed or moved, for they
mark the place where Horace and his
bride camped on Saturday night before
the young man started on his deer
hunt
Mrs. Stevens has made a number Of
hunting trips with him and is an eX-
pert shot She expected TO accompany
her husband when he left camp Sunday
morning at 5:25, but. because Of the
rugEedness OF the mountain, he per-
suaded her TO stay behind and shoot
doves on the mesa until ne returned,
as he did not expect TO be away from
the camp long.
The Midnight Hunt.
A. J. Rose. the man who took the
three blOodhounds 10 the hills and
hunted through the night Tuesday,
came in Wednesday night for more
provisions and then returned TO join
the searchers. He said that the older
trained dog caught the scent at the
Globe Springs camp. followed it across
the mesa fats to the side Of the
mountain and up the peak for
a half mile, where he became con-
fused and was unable TO locate the
trail again. Mr.. Roses description OF
the night hunt with the dogs is a vivid
piece Of narrative.
I'VE put the clothes in the car with
the dogs and they laid on them all the
way to the mountains" he said "Arriv-
ing at the Globe Springs camp We took
the older dog and put him on the trail.
After smelling around the camp fire

he darted through the darkness to the
steep bank He wound and twisted over
the rocks for more than a half mile.
Hopes Are Raised.
"Our hopes started to raise and I had
confidence that the dog would be sue
cessful in locating the missing man.
When up the trail a half mile he ap-
parently found the trail crossed the
many which had been made by some Of
the earlier searchers he became con-
