LOST IN WYOMING SNOW STORM
Former Grimes Boy Believed to Have Parished While Trapping.
The following article is taken from a Wyoming newspaper, and will be read by many with interest, as the young man was a former resident, and still has a brother near Grimes:
"On the 9th of December Carl Bain who was running a trap line in western Wyoming was lost in a blinding snow storm and never has been seen since. He started out early in the morning of the 9th on snow -----?---- a three day trap line along the mountains. He was alone on the trip. About three o'clock in the afternoon a severe snow storm came up and for thirty hours the storm raged. After the storm his brother Barney became uneasy about him and went to the ranch house on the foot-hills to see if he had arrived there safely. Finding that his brother had not appeared at the ranchhouse which was the first station on the river where he always put up over night. Mr. Bain immediately organized a searching party to look for the lost brother. About a dozen men went on the hunt but found no trace of the boy. Then a still larger party was formed and the mountains searched but of no avail. Since that time from one to thirty men have been sea[r]ching for the boy, but no trace has been found.
"His brother, Landon Bain of North Platt, Neb., went to Wyoming early in January to help sea[r]ch for the missing boy, but had to return. But on the 21st day of January he went back to the scene of the lost boy and with a large searching party consisting of about thirty men, two guides and their dog trains they were to make the final effort to find the lost body. If this search proves a failure the search will be given up till the snow goes off in the spring.
"The two brothers, Landon and Barney, wired their brother Wm. Bain of Grimes, that they had come to the conclusion that one of three things had happened to the younger brother; he was killed by the timber wolves, frozen in the snow, or had gone in a man-hole (volcanic ash pit) and could not be found until the snow went off in the spring, if ever.
Carl Bain was one of our boys who grew to manhood near Grimes, and had moved with his brother Barney to the open country of Wyoming. They had homesteaded on land sixty miles from the railroad, and in the winter Carl trapped the large timber wolves that have caused such loss of the cattle and sheep pf that country. It is reported that the wolves run in large packs in all the Northwestern states, causing heavy losses to stockmen every winter. It is only in the past three years that the wolves have been so bad however. It is estimated by the Department of the Interior that the Canadian wolves have drifted from the heavy timberbelt of northern Canada into the Northern States by the thousands.
"In one of the reports from the searching parties it stated that the wolves would come within sight of the campfire at night and drive the dogs into lights of the fire."
