MAN STILL MISSING, SEARCHERS DESPAIR

KLAMATH FALLS, Ore., Sept. 23.—No trace of Martin Owensby, Merrill rancher, lost on Huckleberry mountain has been found, according to word received here this morning by the posse which started out in search of the missing man Monday night. Owensby's cabin showed no indication that he had been there recently and because of the severe weather in that section small hope is entertained here that he will be found alive.

It was a week ago tonight that Owensby disappeared and since then a severe snow storm has raged thru the mountains. The fact that Owensby's horse and rifle were found Sunday leads friends of the missing man to believe that he might have fallen over some of the high cliffs of that section.

TRAGEDY THEORY GAINS

Fear Missing Man Is Hurt and Needing Help Renders Searchers Reckless

A search that was begun at dawn yesterday and ended when darkness made it dangerous to search the rough and rocky cliff country and the deep cooled lava pockets of Huckleberry mountains revealed no trace of Martin Owensby, Merrill rancher, who has been missing a week today from his little summer cabin, 12 miles frm the Anna springs ranger station.

Starting at the point where Owensby's horse was found in the Squaw Flat section, two little groups of searchers traveled in opposite directions, deploying at a distance where shouting could be audible to the man on either side of him. In one group was a part of Klamath Indians who had volunteered to help the mother of Owensby in the search for her son. In the other party were six of Owensby's friends from Merrill, headed by D. T. Hahn, who were outfitted at the expense of the county court to find him, dead or alive.

That he is somewhere in the Huckleberry mountain country is practically certain.

According to rangers at the Anna spring station the Merrill party passed the station about supper time. They were headed for Owensby's cabin, 12 miles northwest, to bring back a discouraging tale to Mrs. Owensby.

As the party were talking, a tourist, whose name was not learned, but whose car had a New York license plate, heard the conversation. He went with the party to aid in searching.

Mounted rangers, in addition to patrolling their fire beats are aiding in the search.

That Owensby has sustained injuries through a fall and is lying out in the cold, without food and shelter, unable to move is the theory of the searchers. Owensby is past the prime of life. He is in the fifties. His mother says he has been suffering severely of late with rheumatism. Whether he can stand the rigorous mountain nighs and survive is doubtful to some. If he was unhurt, and simply lost in the misleading trails or the thick timber, those familiar with the Huckleberry mountain country declare, while it is entirely possible for a man who even known the lay of the land as well as Owensby might be lost for several days. But a week will have elapsed at 8 o'clock tonight since the missing man was last seen.

Today the searchers will search higher up the mountain in the belief that he may have been injured farther away from camp than was at first suspected. However, searchers have combed the country thoroughly for 20 miles on all sides of the spot where the horse was found, with Owensby's rifle firmly secured to the saddle horn on the horse. Owensby carried this rifle when last seen.

EVAN TAYLOR EXPIRES

Boy Shot by Hunting Companion Saturday Fails to Recover

Evan Taylor, 17, who was shot by his hunting companion, Alvin Smith, near Malin Saturday morning died in a local hospital Sunday morning after surgical measure had proved unavailing.

Taylor, who was employed on the ranch of his brother, A. H. Taylor, had gone to the Stakel ranch for a load of straw. Both were armed with shotguns, and, coming upon a covey of quail, both fired. According to accounts, Smith's gun was accidentally discharged before he had brought it up to his shoulder, the charge entering Taylor's side and abdomen.

Taylor is survived by his mother, Mrs. Lena Ownshey, a brother, A. H. Taylor, and another brother who resides in Washington. An inquest was being held by Coroner Whitlock this afternoon.
