March 15—The #now-swept sand hills hold the fate of little Melvin Reeves. The 60-hour search for the boy, last | #een pursuing a hoop into a canyon on | his father's ranch, was ended last night. Mr. and Mrs. William Reeves, the cild’s | parents, were near collapse as the called off the search. When the snow melts enother posse will scek the boy body. | The army of searchers, including 200 Indians from the Pine Ridge Reserva- | tion and Kyle, S. Dak., found themselves | snowbound early today, unable to push through the snow drifts, which in many | places were eight feet deep. Indians Aid in Search. The Indians joined the hunt yester- day, coming in wagons, trucks and on horseback. “Familiar with this country | as no white man is, they were unable to make any progress through the huge | drifts north of the Reeves ranch. A few of them plowed their way through for about five miles, but were forced to Teturn. brother was when the smaller boy | chased his hoop down a canyon. Dwight reached home and his father #oon grew alarmed over Melvin's con- | tinued absence. It had begun and the mist was turning to snow as the father telephoned neighbors to help him ! see.. the child. Faces Blinding Snowstorm. Before the searching party could ar- rive a blinding snowstorm raged. By nightfall a posse of 500 men were look- ing for the boy. | The search continued through the | next day and all the following night. | Drifting snow had blocked all highways | and little progress was made. | Searchers yesterday were marooned at | the Reeves ranch and a caterpillar road tractor was sent to the ranch with food #nd- supplies. The tractor was to be used to tow automobile loads of posse men back to Gordon today. ECKENER WATCH FOUND. Lost by Graf Commander's Son | While in U. S. With Zeppelin, A valuable silver watch lost by Knute Eckener, son of the commander of the German dirigible Graf Zeppelin, while in the United States with the Zep- pelin has been recovered by Federal authorities, It was announced yesterday by the Department of Justice that the watch, believed to have been stolen between October 15 and October 29, while the Zeppelin was at Lakehurst, N. J.. was found in the possession of Sam Wald- man, at Long Branch, N. J. Waldman “said he purchased the watch from two unknown American sailors. It was identified by inscrip- tions which related that it had been presented to Eckener in connection with the building of the Graf Zeppelin. Walking Maze New Sport. Athletes and other sport lovers of Sweden have a new pastime in maze walking. - Elaborate- pathways of wind- ing curves and “blind” passages are laid out in open spaces, and the object is to pass thmxzbl: without retracing one's in m possible time. The uce good exercise, although those inclined to dizziness have a hard time of it. ° a4 I Pleasurea O{ Opu]ence ! > = - The man who has by care and thrift acquired a roll of money, beholds the fian and seasons shift, and finds that e is sunny. He has, when wintry age is due, no dread of being driven with broken men to form a queque, where doles of soup are given. He has his and his vine, his bed of morn- .ng glories, and there he may in peace rnline.helnd rn:d d}:ucuve stories. may read the public prints, the bulwarks of -the Nation, and in them find pathetic hints concerning deep privation. He reads of how mis- fortune swats some ailing man and brother, of how disaster rly trots behind some widowed mother. And then he writes a little check to help out those who suffer, who gratefully exclaim, “By heck, he is a fine old duffer.” The poor man now can buy a sole to patch his tattered brogan, the widow buy a sack of coal, and chant a cheery slogan. The old man who has put away little keg of treasure, year after year, day after day, can have this sort of pleasure. There is no greater i:y than this in all the joys outstand- g: it is the sort of unmixed bliss that money is commanding. It is a pleas- ant thing to know that when our jour- ney’s ended, some mourner, rising in his woe, will say, “His acts were splen~ did! When Mrs. Spry was down and out, by all her friends forsaken, he sent to her a can of kraut and eke a slab of bacon. If there was sorrow anywhere, i men were evicted, he always had a buck to spare to comfort the afflict- ed.” WALT MASON. (Copyright, 1929.) BuflerFlynn: PAINT COMPANY 607-609 CSTNW.
