WHERE ARE IDE:
FOX RANCHERS?
The whereabouts of Jack Harris
and Grover GOrdon, who hafe been
conducting a fox ranch on Wood-ed
Island, iu whcih J. B.. Ibach is also
an owner, is causing tiheir friends
much uneasiness. They took over
the fox ranch in May, 1917, and rS* |
turned to Cordova last summer for
supplies, leaving here in a large
doiy >n September, since which I
time nothing has been seen or he*rd
of them.
Yesterday, in returning from a
trip '.o Middleton island Mr. afld
Mrs. Ibach put in at Wooded island
to visit Messrs. Harrts and Gordon.
Upon tneir arrival there they found
the island deserted, with no signs
of habitation. The cabins were
empty and had not been occupied
for many months, neither was
'here any food for the foxes. As
a storm vr&a coming up, Mr., and
Mrs. loach didf not remain as long
as they would like to hare, in or
der to make a more through search
of th0 island.. However, they are
firmly convinced that neither of
the ranchers are on the Island and
probably have not been since !ast
summer. The question that wor
ries. them is what became of
the *nen. Some friend? advance
the hteory that they went to Mon
lagne to trap, but Mr.. Ibach does
not think this likely or they would
flave returned Iq Wooded island to
look afteT the foxes there.. Con
siderable alarm is felt for the safety
of the ranchers, and. Mr-Ibacihi will
lea-v.e in a day or two on the launch
Swan h cruise the bays of Monta
gue Island and also make a through
search cf Wooded and adjoining is
lands In an effort to find some trace
of his partners..
Ha-ris and Gordon ar© well know
in Cordova. The latter is an un
cle of Mrs. W. E. Brown, whose
husband is in charge of the Ocean I
dock..—The Cordova Times.
