TROY BOY LOST IN
MOSCOW MOUNTAINS
SPENDS NIGHT IN A LONELY
CABIN AND MEETS SETTLER
EARLY NEXT MORNING
Troy News.)

Considerable excitement was Great
ed last Sunday evening when Geo.
Saad returned from Moscow mountain
and reported that bud" Amos, son
of Mr. and Mrs. Chas Amos, who ac-
companied him on hunting trip, was
lost. George and Bud were on the
Palouse side of the mountain when
they became separated, and while Mr..
Saad did all he could to locate his
companion before coming to town to
give the alarm, all efforts failed. 1t
seems that bud" had gone off to one
side to get some birds which his dog
had freed and was to return to a
spring where Mr.. Saad was located,
but in some way he became turned
around in the heavy brush and timber
and travelled in the opposite direction.
Shortly after the alarm was given,
number of cars were speeding toward
the mountain with searchers, equip
ped with lunches and lanterns. While
the mountain is very large and is the
top of the earth" in this part of the
county, little fear was entertained
for the boy being lost, as to follow
down the mountain side on a direct
line in any direction would bring him
out into civilization, but it was
thought an accident had befallen him.
The search continued all night and
into the next day, when Bud was
finally located by phone at Princeton.
He followed down rock creek believ-
ing he was travelling toward Troy and
the next morning when he came
across a Mr.. Pool, who had told him
he was almost 25 miles from home,
he could hardly believe>it. Realizing
early in the evening he was some
what lost, Bud" with his faithful
bird dog, prince" put up for the
night in an old cabin to await the
break of day to start out again in
quest of home. and loved ones. He !
said the breathless silence that hung
over the night was broken only at I
times by the ranting of mischevious |
wood rat, the shrill whistle of a night
bird of some kind and 5the boot of an
owl, but even with this he got nice
sleep as long as the little camp fire
which he had built on the earth floor
If the cabin lasted.
At the break of day, Bud" and
Prince started out and after walk
ng several miles, they were picked
~ oii q COUNTY IOdu ny IuT. ROOF,
'armer of the Princeton country, who
gave them a square meal and then
ook them to Princeton where they
we're met by a car which was sent
or them from Troy. Some of the
earchers got onto Buds trail and
we're only about two hours behind
am the next morning. w. M.
thompson, who kept the phone wires
usy calling up people on both sides
+ the mountain in trying to get some
race of the young man, received
nessage from the sheriff's office at
bout 8 o'clock Monday morning stat
1g that bud" was located at Prince
on, and word was gotten to the
earchers as quickly as possible to
hat affect. About 80 or 40 had as
listed in the search all night and ]

cave when word came that he had
cen found. bud" has been back at
