MAN LOST IN CEDAR VALLEY

Oscar Kearney, resident of Lehi
FOR the past four months. became
separated from his fellow hunters in
Cedar Valley Monday afternoon and
was not heard from until Tuesday
when he walked into Saratoga and
later arrived in town about 2 p. m.
During this time searchers were
securing the valley and hills in that
vicinity fearing that some accident
had befallen him.
The fact that Kearney has one leg
off at the knee and yet walked the en-
tire distance from the valley is re.
markable.
Mr. Kearney, who lives in the old
Grace home northwest OF town, with
James Grace, William Turner, All
Turner, James Grace, Jr and w.
Wright formed a hunting party from
here Monday The party reached
Cedar Valley early in the forenoon and
hunted for several hours. In some
manner Kearney worked away from
the others, and when II came time to
return they were unable to locate him
A hurried search failed to locate
him and part Of the party returned to
town to report the loss Of Mr.. Kearney
while the others remained all night in
the valley. Deputy Sheriffs Roper
and Boshard came over when the
sheriff's Office was notified and to-
gether with Night Marshal Evans and
others went to the valley Tuesday
morning to take up the hunt.
AT about noon Tuesday word was
received here that Kearney had ar.
rived at Saratoga Word was immedi.
ately sent to the searchers in the
valley who then returned.
Kearney reported that he became
confused in the directions when he
became separated from his compan.
ion and as 1t was foggy he was unable
to locate the camp, He made his way
directly east over the hills during the
night and thence to Saratoga in the
early morning.

SAFETY DIRECTORS
LIBERAL IN BUYING
In All But One Instance They
Agreed to Pay Above Ap-
praisal Value.

According 70 the figures tabulated by
City Council regarding the appraised
value OF the fire houses and equip
raent. the Department OF Public Safe
,v had agreed TO purchase from the
various individual companies for the
rew paid fire department, in only one
instance did the directors agree TO
buy at the price fixed on the property
ry the men engaged by the board 10
make the appraisal. This was in con-
r.ection with the Weccacoe company S
fouse. The appraisers fixed the value
of that property at s26,0OG ard the
safety directors agreed TO buy it at
this figure.
In the case OF the Friendship Com
yany the directors agreed to pay
300 more than the appraisal value
and in the case of the Water Witch
company's house they agreed to pay
$4,000 more than the price fixed by
the appraisers. In other instances
they agreed 10 pay more in sums
ranging from 1000 up.
In the purchase of equipment from
rhe volunteers the directors in some
instances agreed to pay as high as
s-sNuV more tnAn the appraisal Nalue
while in other instances they sue
oseded in getting the equipment for
sums less than the value Placed upon
the engines by the experts.

action, in the matter last night, and
IL was explained by the individual
members that they desired to wait
until after the argument today before
