MM ng been seen have

ed, and SO many reports thai his body

papers that this true account is pub

home in southern Hand county, South
Dakota, on Sunday evening. Oct 81. go.
ing in his car although the snow was
falling fast. He spent the evening
with a friend, Miss Klukas. living In
Jerauld county, about eight miles
south. Soon after midnight he left
there to return home. The road to
be travelled lay through hill and valley
and was a lonely one, although good in
pleasant weather. With snow flying
and the wind blowing fiercly, drifts
were forming, in ONE places five feet
deep. The young man failed to reach
his home and search was made early
Monday morning. The car was found
between two and three miles from the
Klukas home, at the foot OF a hill.
The water had been drained from the
radiator which seemed evidence that
he had been unable to mount the hill
and started to walk home, first protec.
ting the car from freezing. The
theory was that he had lost his way,
becoming confused in the storm, and
might have wandered for miles.
Searching parties were sent in every
direction. More than 800 Joined in the
search, using hooks in lake beds or
holes. Blood hounds were also used,
but all of no avail. No trace OF the
missing boy has been found except
footprints which were thought to be
his, as he wore 10 overshoes. These
were traced to within four miles Of his
home, and John Hins, the father, has
offered a liberal reward to anyone who
can give reliable evidence of his sons
being alive, or produce the body if
dead.
