The copper era and Morenci leader., 1922-12-08

went to Tucson and secured two blood hounds, and accompanied by Deputy Sheriff Wilson, of Pima county, returned to the trail The dogs were able to pick up the trail for some distance but finally lost it.
 With each passing day. and no trace of the missing boy discovered. the conclusion was reached on Wed nesday morning, just a week follow ing the time the hunting party had left Clifton, that Pascoe had met with an accident. A big posse was formed Wednesday morning and all told sixty men left Clifton by auto adn truck, carrying their bedding and provisions. determined to find his remains at least That same afternoon the driver of the Mountain Auto Stage, making daily trips be- 1 tween Clifton and Douglas, arrived
 in Clifton at-4 D. m. bringing a note rom John Anderson, also one of the drivers for this company who was
 in Douglas, to the effect that young | lady had informed him in Douglas
 on Tuesday night of this week that she had seen and talked to Douglas Pascoe in Douglas on Sunday evening | last and had driven in her car to | Agua Prieta. across the international 1 line, where they remained a short
 time and returned to Douglas, young
 Pascoe alighting from her car on G. | Avenue. It is. known that Douglas l Pascoe. had an acquaintance with | this girl and had been in correspor- | dence with .her by wire before he
 left for the hunting trip.
 Acting upon this information the
 sherif's office got into communica-
 tion with the chief of police at Doug
 las, who in company with John An
 derson, of this place, interviewed the young lady, known as Miss Allen. a
 former resident of Duncan and Saf-
 ford. The young lady was positive in
 her story and made an affidavit that
 she was with Douglas SEaDse ni
 Agua Prieta Sunday night, describing
 to the officers the manner in which
 he was dressed. The Douglas chief
 of police afterwards stated to the
 sheriff's office in Clifton. over the
 long distance phone, that he was
 convinced that the missing boy had
 been in Douglas Sunday night. as
 the girl said. and he would endeavor
 to io cate him. Up until the afternoon Of Friday. as the Era goes to press
 the Douglas officers have been c-.-
 able to locate Douglas Pascoe. >s- to find any other person who saw him, with the. exception of Miss Allen
 , Taking for granted the informa-
 tion from Douglas was correct the posse who went into the hills Wed ] nesday morning returned Wednes-
 day night and Thursday.
 The question. still remains. how
 ever, where is Douglas Pascoe? The hunt for the missing boy caused
 great deal of excitement and con cern in the community. At one time on Wednesday last there were sixty I men in the Mule Creek section mak,
 ing the search with officers in New Mexico lending their assistance. Those [ who engaged in the hunt at different s times included John Cranberry. P, : Anderson, D. :-E. Address. L.
