torn 10 shreds were scattered about.
In the rsidst OF them the Indians
found human bones. They FASTENED

The lure of the bounty on wolves,
however, urged the Indians to take
the trail again with extra ammuni-
ton. They sped behind their dog
teams into the woods as the villag-
ers waved goodbye. They did not
return.
Y esterday a new searching party
departed. They found another patch
trodden in the snow about two miles
beyond the first. The two guns the
Indians carried were lying there and

The second theory. which the po-
lice say ghey have little faith in,
was that the child was shot down
