dent of the Fawcett publications of
Minneapolis, as private summer home.

Children Spend Night in
Woods Near Luck Boy
Mine Friday.
MAKE BED IN FOREST
Guided to Safety by Smoke
From Highway Work as
Men Comb Woods.

Hungry and tired from night spent
in the woods without fire and without
anything to eat, Joan Thompson,
daughter of DR.. and Mrs. j. E. Thomp-
son, June Forsman, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Emil Forsman, Russell Korpi,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. John Korpi OF
Duluth, and ''Mugsy" Klobuchar, son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. John Klobuchar, came out
of the woods between the Lucky Boy
mine and Highway No. l, Saturday
morning at about 10 o'clock.
The children, three aged IA, and one
aged 4, took bicycle ride on the road
to the Lucky Boy. The older children
had a bicycle each while the younger
boy rode on the handle bars. The fact
that they had gone on that road was
not discovered until the following morn
ing when some one living long the way
had noticed the party on the road the
day before.
The party failed to return on Friday
evening and searching parties were at
once formed and all highways in and
out of the city were patrolled with
screeching sirens, lights and other
noisemaking devices in the hopes that
the youngsters would answer the calls.
The party was not located and the
following morning the fire call again
was sounded and preparations made
with a large force to continue the
search.
| Before the new and greatly enlarged
group could get going under competent
guides and heads, the children arrived
home, having walked through the
forest to Highway No. 1, west of the
city, guided by the smoke and noise of
the machinery being employed on the
| Al. johnson Construction company
paving contract.
| The bicycles were abandoned after the
j children found they were lost. Sunday
a crew secured the territory and the
bicycles were found. The children
came out without bad effects notwith-
standing the fact that drilling rain
i fell during the night and the weather
was quite chilly.
i The Korpi boy is nephew of DR..
Thompson and was here for a visit with
COuSlIIS. d OAotOA Va
dr. Thompson and with Mr.. Korpi ar
rived by car as soon as the disappear
ance of the children was noted. Mr.
!, Korpi is a salesman for Swift & Com
pany at Duluth. In trying to get the
experiences of the confused children
the reporter was unable to get CO.
herent account of their impressions
after they found they were lost. Miss
Thompson kindly consented to give her
version of the affair and her impress
sions of the night in the woods.
, She has had considerable Girl Scout
training which came in handy in the
isituation in which the party found
themselves. She wrote an account OF
3 the experience for the Miner in another
! column.
