MARS HUNTING TRIP

That was an unpleasant experience
which came to George Heberling the
first of this week when he became
separated from his companions, who
accompanied him to the hills on a
grouse hunting trip. The experience
was one which Mr.. Heberling does not
care to have repeated and it has de-
prived him of much Of the zest and
ing formerly created when broached
in his presence.
Mr.. Heberling left Glenwood Satur-
day night with party including
Dave Alexander, j. A. Owens, Amos
Trimble and Henry Harrington, for
Cattle creek, where they camped over
night, getting an early start the next
morning for the hills in ques, of
grouse. The members of the party
paired off, George being the only one
who started out alone. 1t was decided
for them to meet at four clock that
afternoon at the car and start for
home.
At the appointed time the four hunt
ers returned to the car and saw that
George had been there previously and
left his coat and sweater and a few
birds which he had killed. After
waiting for several hours for his re-
turn tic men became worried, think
ing George had in some manner lost
his way. They phoned the news to
G'c'wse!. and Georges brothers,
Frank, John and Vaughn Heberlng,
Kennel. smith, Fred Johnson, Joe
Blossom and Lou Allen made up a
searching rarty that started for the
hills. They were met by Amos Trim
bic. Of the original hunting party,
who returned 70 the hills with them
and spent the night doing everything
IL their power to locate the missing
an.
t ten O'Clock Monday morning af-
ter h trace had yet been found of
NJ R.A erling, a number of Glenwood
men. upo, the suggestion of Mayor
Mcdonald 20, 'unteered their services
and left fox IN hills to lend their
efforts in the reeo>, cry OF TINS young
business man. Shortly ai'ef 'ne party
left Kenneth Smith, who wa" VI 'ne
search near Gypsum, phoneo W o''n
wood that he had found two 'A'p''
shells which he believed had b.
fired from Mr.. Heberling's gun shors
time before, and Mr.. Smith was posi-.
tive he was on the right trail.
Just before twelve O'Clock noon .
phone message was received from
George himself, stating that he was at
the Allen ranch near Gypsum and was
safe. The news was received with a
sigh of relief by the people of Glen
wood who had so long been held in
suspense. Mrs. Heberling secured n
car and went to her husband, who com
pletely collapsed after entering the
car.
After reaching home Mr.. Heberling
revived and was able to tell his un-
pleasant story. While starting back
to the car Sunday afternoon he re-
eeived bad fall which must have
rendered him unconscious as it was
dark when he awoke. He started out
in the darkness, but soon became con
fused and spent the greater part of
the night wandering around and at
tempting to keep warm. He became
confused, thinking he was on Cattle
creek while he was on Cottonwood
creek and travelling towards Gypsum.
After daylight he came to farm
house and got some breakfast, but as
the house possessed no telephone he
was unable to toll his home folks of
his whereabouts.
Although suffering from the effects
of exposure and the long journey on
foot, Mr.. Heberling was able to be at
work at his grocery store the next
day and has decided he will not make
another trip to the hills for some time
to come.
