After walking for two hours along
tho automobile road, Buster stated
tinue no longer. a rest was called. and
the man laid plans for the boys trans
portation to Portland. Colorado.
Buster declares that by this time
he was so frightened and tired he was
willing to do anything the stranger
demanded. He was told to stop the
first automobile, ask for a ride and
state that his name was Lewis Smith
and that he lived in Portland.
On reaching Portland Buster" Stasg
was to so to a residence and ask for
food and shelter. stating that he was
meeting a friend later.
"If any one questions you in such
a manner that you will not be able to
meet me, you must say that your
mother left you and that you want to
go to some relatives" instructed young
Busters abductor.
That was why Buster Stagg told DR..
A r. Lewis, of Portland. that he
wanted to go to an Uncle Don Coser,
living in MOSCOW, Kansas.
Plans to meet the stranger in Port
land were frustrated by DR.. Davis.

were later verified by Earl Collins, who
had read tho boys description as
printed in the Pueblo Chteftain. and
had called Desk Sergeant Colvin, OF
the Pueblo police.
Pueblo police are at a loss to under
stand why the man should take a
small boy like Lewis Stagg with him
to Canon City, unless for evil reasons
The man is said to have had large
roll of bills by the boy. His descrip-
ton. rather vague, is that he was mid
die aged, dark, tall, face marked with
pits. and dressed rather well in dark
clothes and a dark hat.
Efforts are being made to determine
