left for a week’s outing in the
Cedars, south of Las Animas, last
Monday, and on Wednesday one
of their number, James Goodale,
a son of C. C. Goodale of Lamar,
got lost from the others and was
not found until late Sunday after
noon. He had been wandering
about, but could not find his way
out. Quite a large crowd left La
mar and Las Animas to join the
ranchmen of Nine Mile in their
search for the lost boy. He is
about 17 years old and had no food
with him. The country where he
was is very hilly and it is an easy
matter for one not accustomed
with it to loose his way. He
came to a spring of water and
there waited until found.
