Max Heth five year old son of El
mer lleth got lost last Sunday even
ing while the families with two other
families were up the river about three
miles on the Schlagel picnicing Whon
the Heth family were ready
hnrnfl little Max was not to be found
and thinking he had started down the
road alone they started for home but
not finding him they turned back and
after a careful search went on home
thinking perhaps he had gotten home
some way Not finding him at home
the father tnrned back and again search-
ed but to no avail Early Monday
morning the town was notified and
searching parties scoured the country
on foot horse back and in buggies and
carriages About ten oclock the little
wanderer came along the dusty road
with tongue swelled and frothy mouth
to Hackberry Thompsons place on the
river above the Jack Darr bridge and
was taken in by the Thompson hoys
cared for and taken home The little
boy had wandered along until it be
came dark and wheu he could no lon
ger pick his way along the rocky cliffs
lay down under the shelter of a pine
tree where he passed the cLilly night
and as soon as it was light got up and
barefooted and weak from hunger and
thirst made his wMy but slowly It
was a narrow escape for him He had
gone eight or ten miles and possibly
traveled much farther as likely he had
not taken a straight course and it being
over hills and through canyons the
climbing would have tired a much
larger and stronger boy If the little
fellow had given up in his journey and
hun down he would not have been
found as few thought of a little fellow
like him crossing hills and canyons
would be dangerous
m that direction which
gerous for any one to travel and im
possible to go on horseback It is hard
to depict the little fellows mind or the
thoughts that came to him as he found
himself alone to spend the night with
out supper or bed and nothing to drink
though he cruld have gone to the river j
but could not get down to it for the
bank which was too steep for him
