MISSING BOURBON COUNTY
MAN NOT FOUND.

All hopes of finding John D. Cray
craft, former Bourbon County farm
er, who was lost in the mountains OF
Montana abaut month ago, has been
abandoned by the searching parties
sent out in search of him. The par
ties returned after making a thor
Ough search of the vicinity where
Craycraft was last seen, and could
discover no traces of him.
Mr.. Craycraft, who was a former
resident of the North Middletown pre-
cinct, was lost while on an elk hunt
with a party of companions in the
Yellowstone region of Montana. The
last seen of him was when he became
separated from the main party, and
with his son and another sportsman,
endeavored to find their way back.
Mr.. Craycraft made detour in the
hopes of striking their trail during a
binding snowstorm, and has not been
seen or heard from since. The
searchers say that it will now be i'm
possible to recover the body until the
return of spring, if as he is dead the
body is buried beneath huge snow
drifts.
The region where Mr.. Craycraft
was lost is one of the widest in
Montana, and even the guides, who
are presumed to know the country
thoroughly, have frequently expert,
enced great difficulty in getting
out of the wilderness and returning
with their parties safely to civilization
again.
