POSSE HUNTS KIDNAPED BOY OVERDESERT Lad, 11, Is Believed Held Captive by His Abductor. Ifit United Press LOS ANGELES, Feb. 22.—1n the wilderness of the Mojave desert, to the north of Quail Springs, a posse of 100 mounted men today pressed their hunt for 11-year-old Richard Grant of Los Angeles and Harry Palmer, his alleged abductor. Their objective was the territory between El Dorado and Lost Horse mines, where the boy is believed to be held captive. More than half of the posse is made up of members of the American Legion. Rangers and miners, all skilled horsemen, also are in the party. A clew furnished by James Samuelson, “desert rat,” caused them to believe that the two-month search for the pair was nearing an end. Samuelson - said he saw a man and a boy, answering the description of “Dickie” Grant and Palmer near Quail Springs Wednesday night, and that when he attempted to speak to them the man dragged the boy away. The boy appeared weary and bedraggled, Samuelson said. Young Grant was taken from his home by his father’s discharged employe late in December, ostensibly to go to a party in Long Beach. National Guard planes are expected to leave Los Angeles to aid in the search. Automobiles cannot be used in the desolate country where the hunt is on.

SEEK CITY HALL SMOKEREMEDY Electric Stokers May Be Installed; Cost $3,000. Installation of two electric stokers at a cost of $1,500 each at city hall is to be recommended by William F. Hurd, city building commissioner, and Fred Barton, city combustion engineer. Barton has been checking the city hall heating plant with the idea of cleaning up the city’s own back yard before starting a citywide smoke abatement campaign. The electric stoker method of firing the city hall furnaces will greatly reduce the smoke given off by the city heating plant, Hurd and Barton believe. Coal analysis and boiler tests show that with the present hand firing method 44.7 per cent efficiency is being obtained from the city heating plant. The electric firing method will increase the efficiency to 65 per cent, they declare. Hurd and Barton will recomnfend the electric stoker purchase to the board of safety, under whose department the building commissioner’s office comes, which must in turn recommend the expenditure to the board of works, which has charge of the city building.
