A fortune teller living in South
Canon had stated that the boy would
be found on Thursday in the custody
of an old man in a cabin high up on
the mountains, but there is reason to
believe that the lad had not seen any
body from the time he left home until
he was found four days or more later
by Mr.. Higgins. The lad was too

Auto Party Has
Narrow Escape

An auto party on its way to Grip
pie Creek last Sunday evening. mar
rowly escaped a fatal accident. about
six miles from the entrance of Phan-
tom canon. The car driven was an
Oakland. and the driver turned out to
the side of the road so an approaching
car could pass. However. the south
bound car crashed into the Oakland
and the stering apparatus was put out
of commission.
After some little work the machine
was started and headed for Cripple
Creek with its load of passengers.
The car, however. ran only a short
distance when it was discovered that
the trouble had not been made salts

time enough to jump from the machine
when it plunged over steep embank.

The car was stopped about half way
down when It ran its radiator into a
large boulder. 1t is indeed fortunate
that all the members OF the party
escaped, for they would no doubt have
sustained serious and probably fatal
injuries.
