a couplo of days ago by Park Patrolman

Wednesday, driving across country to this
city with a young man named Trice, son
of a well-to-do farmer In the sanio neigh

formation ho received ho believed that
young Trice had gone to the homo of rela-
lives In Hancock, but ho was unable to se-
cure any trace of tho girl. Tho pollco re.
eelved word yesterday from Carson thai
