DOGS FAIL TO FIND TRAIL

Andrew Johnson, sheriff, returned to Bemidji yesterday afternoon from Hamre where he had spent Sunday scouring the woods of this vicinity in search of Mrs. Eline Ellingson, 76, who has been lost since late last Wednesday afternoon. The sheriff had the assistance of two bloodhounds but the dogs were unable to locate the trail of the woman, the scent having been lost by continual travel over the ground by searchers who have been working since Mrs. Ellingson's disappearance.

On March 10 of this year Jacob Anderson, son of the missing woman, petitioned to the probate court asking that a guardian be appointed, her condition being such that she was no longer able to care for herself. Judge M. A. Clark appointed Frank E. Magnuson, a son-in-law, as guardian. Mrs. Ellingson is the owner of a quarter section of land in Hamre.

Every day since the disappearance of the woman searchers have hunted the woods and there is a growing belief that she might have left the country.
