WANDEREO AIMLESSLY FURFIlIEDAYS

Austin McInnis Found By _Lumbermen At Juniper, N. B. Yes- terday Morning.

EAST m | N’. B., Oct. 2——Waridering aimlessly, out of his mind and starving, Austin Mclnnis, IQ-year-old-Gbarl “ town youth, was found this morn- ing by a group oi men on their way to work through the lumber- yard of Fleming and Gibson at Juniper, Carleton County, about six o'clock.

Doctors summoned

Rushed back to the i settlement, McInnis was immediately put to bed. Doctors were summoned and the work of nursing the young man back to normal health began. He wilil be under a doctor's care for several days and as yet none of his harrowing experiences has‘ been learned because of his mental con- dition.

When found by the men he was wandering about the lumber yard, evidently seeking some way back to civilization. The lumbermen recog- nized him at once but could not understand his incoherent speech. The finding of the youth culmin- ated a search ‘which began on Fri- dfl-l? and employed. as many as 200 men.

Missing Since Friday

Mclnnis cams to this section of the country in search of work in the potato areas, and failin "in this. in company with a nun‘: ’ of other young men from PrinceEd- ward Island, went to Juniper where they found work in the woods. Friday morning McInnis broke his axe-handle and went back to camp on the Shiktehawk stream, about two miles away, to get another and on his way back to the operations became lost.

He was not dremed to stand the weather which has prevailed in the district since Friday and wander- ed through two days of rain.

ues that, they expect, will lead to his early apprehension.

squads oi police are oentring their attention on the big Bras D’Or district believing that Captain Pine was hiding there after racing from the North Sydney jail in an automobile.

However, they were still working on the theory that the skipper. wanted as a suspected operator for an internationally known smug- gling ring, had raced seaward in a. powerful motor launch and was now heading for"~either 8t. Pierre or Newfoundland.
