Blood Hounds Fail In Search I (CONTINUED FROM FADE ONE> Iler absence grew into a half hour,, then an hour and two, but sitll noth ing was thought of it, as it was sup- j posed she had gone lu the cucumber; putcli, or tlie orchard to gather the vegetables and fruit, of wl'.i'h there if a great abundance lor pickling and canning. When her absence grew even more prolonged, no alarm was still felt as it was supposed that .she had probably gone to visit witli a neigh lior. Finally when night came, and she did not return, tlie fears of the family Jiecame so great, that u search was begun by them at once. They failed to locate her though every ; inch of the ground of tlie farm was pone "over, an it was thought she might have bet n'overcome while gathering tlie fruit. itHtl falluH. and ■ through weakness, be rendered unable lo retnue her steps to the house Failing to find her. tlie alarm was spreaei through tlie district and bands of neighbors joined in tlie search yes terday and last night. Every inch of the ground was traversed, over section after section, but only slight clues, that did not bad to her location are found. A iieighleur. Mr. Meyers who lately moved to the farm on th south side, is the only one who is knuwii thus far to have really seen her after she left the house. About four o'clock Thu r sday afternoon he was walking through a cornfield between the Heuer and Meyers homes, when he suddenly saw a woman re dining on the ground She had tak en one shoe off and when she ob served Mr. Meyers she hastily put <m tlie shoe again and getting up, started away. In answer to Mr. Meyers' iieery as to what was the matter, she replied that she was very tired, and was re sting. Mr. Meyers thought nothing more of tlie matter, as he sup posed it was one of the neighbor women searching for h> r turkeys and as ho has lived in tlie community only a short time, he did not know her. The description given by hint tallies with that of the missing woman and it is believed to have been Miss Hou- < r. When she left the house she wore a gingham skirt, a housejae ket and bonnet, and gold rlninn'd glasses None of her clothes are missing from the houw. and it is believed that she simply wandered away, leeing overcome with the heat. Izesi night Deputy SheriiT Jesse Koi I by. al the h'-ad of a troop of fifty or I more men of the neighborhood an I from this city went out to join in the search, and at midnight it was d< < ided . io get. the blooetlioiinds from Celina i They arrivei about 2 o’clock this morning and were given tip- se'ent Owing to the hiindriMls <>i |>eople «liu had been over the ground before, how | ever, the dogs could not |eie k up the' trail, and although tli'y were start"'! out time- after time, it was lost after j only a few rods, am! at nl'out 9' o'clock this morning the search with I the bloodhounds ended, they having been iimrtd' to get be yond the Heuer I farm. Neighbors aud tlie family, i however, continued and this morning j and altcrnoofi tbe search was still in I progress fields, woeals. ravines an«l L e-very nook being « xploi ■ .>1 Owing to the promineme of Herfamily ami-the high estoe-m in which}' all are 1 held tlie affair < at.st -.
