SHEPHERD BOY IS NOT YET FOUND lUutiring Search by Large Posse, Near Solway, F’a\ils to Lo- cate the Missing Child---Bloodhound From Bagley Put on Trail This Afternoon. Parties who arrived on the noon train from the west, stated that they had seen the body of a boy lying alongside the track, about a mile east of Wilton;that the boy wore overalls and rubber boots (the same as was worn by the missing boy when last seen) and that he was evidently asleep. Word was telephoned to Wil- ton when the train arrived here, At 3 o’clock this afternoon, the Pioneer received the following from Wilton: “Wilton, May 28.—Party here visited . spot on railroad track where boy was reported lying. Found a drunken man who had been sleeping off a good-sized ‘jag.” No sign of mlssmg boy.” Special to the Pioneer. Solway, May 28.—The disap- pearance of the 8-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. John Shepard,whe live two miles west of this city, is still creating excitement herc, and the whereabouts of the littl fellow still remain clouded in mystery. Every foot of land for -a dis- tance of two miles in all direc- tions from the Shepard home hos beoon thoroughly searched, but no clue has been found that boy. Over 100 men have search- ed diligently every nook and corner of the Shepard property, with no success. Not even a piece of the boy’s clothing has authentic information as to what has become of the little fellow. Additional particulars of the affair are to the effect that the child disappeared last Friday afternoon. The boy (who was but 3 years of age) was left in care of an older brother, and the twe were together near a new house which is under course of construction. While the elder boy was picking up some pieces of firewood, the little one ‘was lost sight of for a few moments. When the elder boy was asked by his mother as to where his brother was he replied that he was just around the corner of the house. A search was immed- iately made for the youngster, but he could not be found. The neighbors were notified and a more thorough search was made, without finding the boy. Word was sent to Solway and a posse was at once organized. Although a thorough inspec. tion of the entire country around the Shepard home has been made,none of the posse has found any signs to indicate the pre- sence of the child. The Shepard home is almost entirely surrouaded by a deep swamp,a.nd the party were waist the time, It is believed by many.that the missing boy was killed and de- voured by some wild animal, It | been unearthed, and there is nojis asserted that the tracks ofa deep in watér and mud most of} bear were scen, not far from the Shepard house, the next day after the child disappeared. John Shepherd, the father of the missing boy, was absent at Minot, N. D. He was tele- ]gra,phed of the affair and reached here yesterday and joined in the search, Mr. Shepherd is of the opinion that there is not much hope in further search by any of posse. A bloodhound belonging to William Wild of Bagley was brought to Solway this noon and will be taken to the Shepherd home and put on the trail. Cloth- ing that was formerly worn By the missing lad will be given the hound, and it is hoped that he can, by his scent, find the trail taken by the boy and eventually lead his followers to the place where the child may be found, dead or alive. In the-meantime, there is the greatest anxiety as to the out- come of the efforts that will be made to locate the boy by use of the dog. There is some talk of applying for the bloodhounds at the St. Cloud reformatory, ishould the Bagley hound be un- able to locate the boy. The mother and father of the lost child are almost distracted, and there is much sympathy i here for them, as it is now gen- erally believed that their son has been made away with, and will never be recovered.

GRADUATING EXERCISES WILL BE HE LD THIS WEEK A Class of Six Finish Their Courses of Study in the High School.---Twenty-six Pupils Have Graduated from the Eighth Grade. > HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES.

The usual interest attaches to the commencement, and the'event will be attended by practically the entire popu- lation of the city. At the school the final week is crowded full of hard work in preparation of the happy ending of along term of labor. There are the examimations in all grades, and especially the tests for the high school pupils, who always are anxious for good re- sults in the final examinations. The graduating class, aside from their regular work, have the com- mwencement exercises to prepare for, and teachers and pupils are going about their work with quiot determination. The graduating class this year consists of six, five young women and one young man, and from our own observation and from what we have learned of the class from teachers and others who have stood close to them during all of their years of work in the high school, we can say that they are an exceptionally bright class and have acquitted them- selves most creditably ‘during the pursuance of ~their high school course. They are deserv- ing of praise for their tenacity of purpose in seeking an educa- tion, something that is indis pensible in this progressive age. The community which has made it possible for the rising generation to share the benefits of so good a school as Bemidji possesses is also to be felicitated upon the good regults which be- come so apparent when a class such as is to graduate this year finishes the course of study mapped out for them. Especially is credit due Super- intendent Ritchie and the entire corps of teachers for the pains- taking efforts put forth by all to advance the interests of the school and to give the pupils the benefit of the best instruction of which they are capable. A class of twenty-six have passed the Eighth grade of the Bemidji schools and will, tomor- row evening, be given their cer- tificates of entrance to the high school. The commencement exercises *|will be held tomorrow evening, when a program will be given, which will be published in full in the Pioneer. The eighth grade class this year isa large one, numbering tabout the same as last year. Superintendent Ritchie states, however, that the class is the best from the point of good work of any that has graduated from the Bemidji schools since he has been connected with the institu- tion, all of the members having passed with exceptionally high markings. i#zs 0’Leary and Bowser < %[:g‘:,y The Store That Satisfies .
