MRS. LILO PERRIN LOST
 IN WOODS FOR 31 HOURS

."The Oaks and Willows" last Sunday morning, Mrs. Lilo M. Perrin. Jr.-who until last fall was Miss Elizabeth Harr, of Washington, D. C. gazed across the distance to Mount Hope. Somewhere to the east of the mountain were her hus- band and Messrs Lavender and Haywood, two friends from Washington, together with a number of men engaged in the spring roundup of the 1000 head of cattle that roam the range of the Baca Grant. "They are right over there, unused Mrs. Perrin, land I believe l will walk over'.
 She did! But it proved to be one of the most sensational walks ever taken in Arizona For, after tripping lightly down the road in front of the ranch house, she was not again seen by human eyes until thirty-one hours thereafter!
 The Baca Grant Is one of the most rugged and picturesque portions of Northern Arizona. Traversed by deep canyons and lofty mountains, a great part of it's IA square miles of territory is thickly clothed with cedars, tall pines, scrub oak, fragrant junipers, and last-but by no means least a dense growth of underbrush. It is the hunt CTS paradise. Here is to be found every species of wild ami nal known to the West. Bear, mountain lion. the wildcat, turkey, and deeK are abundant, while not few of the Old Mexican jaguar have bee n ob- tained within it's border. There are not many well-defned roads in the Grant, and what few there are generally dwin- ale into a perplexing maze of cow-trails.
 Not having returned from her walk by late afternoon, Mrs. Barnes, wife of the ranch fore man, rode over tn the roundup and informed the men of Mrs. Perrin's disappearance. Search ing parties were immediately organized, but as night came on no trace of her hadbeenfound.
 It is difficult matter to trail by night, but about II o'clock that night MT. Perrin, using a fiash-light, picked up Mrs. Per rin's trail in a path leading to a deserted cabin. She was trail ed to this cabin, proven to have entered, emerged, and then to have taken one of the numer- ous paths that diverge from the cabin. This trail was followed for a short distance, when it suddenly disappeared.
 All trace of Mrs. Perrin hav- ing now been lost, the party be- gan thorough search of the surrounding territory. Three large cedar trees were set afire at as many different points. but without result. At the Baca Grants elevation-6,OOO feet the nights at this time of the year are quite cold, and as Mrs. Perrin was known to be unpre- pared for cold, grave apprehen- sion was felt for her safety. > All night the search contin- ued, and the next morning re- newed. effort was made to pick up Mrs. Perrin's trail at the point where it was lost the night before, but without suc- cess. The situation was now becoming desperate, and about o'clock that afternoon. MT. Lavender-after having been all day and all night in the sad dle-started by automobile for Sellgman for more men, an h. dian trailer, and Ambrose Means pack of blood hounds here at Williams. He also wir- ed Mrs. B. B. Perrin. who at the tune happened to be the only member of the family here in Williams. With MT. Means MT; Will Bennett and MT. l..
