LIITLE ELDER BOY MISSING FROM PARR

Eleven-Years-Old Son of Mrs.£harles Elder Lost Since Monday Noon— Mother Frantic. Little Kenneth Elder, 11-years-old son of Mrs. Charles Elder, disappeared from Parr, where his mother lives, Monday noon and up to this afternoon nothing had been learned as to his whereabouts. The boy was sent on an errand and performed it and is said to have started home but no one saw him after that time, unless it was the section men who thought they saw him going north toward Fair Oaks. The lad’s mother is distracted and spent all of Monday night in search of him. Citizens of Parr gave assistance, telephoning in every direction, but nothing could be learned. Before noon today the mother started out on foot to search for her little son. She went west, following the clew furnished by the section hands. The farmers living near Parr are all very busy with their crops and can not engage in an organized search. Logan Wood, who usually heads any important movement there, has been suffering from rheumatism and just returned Monday from Mt. Jackson sanitarium at Indianapolis, where he was taking treatment and is unable to give personal aid in the search.
