Lost in the Night
The Four Year Old Daughter of Frank Long, Lost last Monday Night
-------
Early last Tuesday morning many of our people were aroused by the vigorous ringing of the fire bell at the city hall, but on investigation it was found not to be an alarm of fire, but a call for volunteers to go out in search for a little four year old daughter of Frank Long, who had been lost in the fields near the residence of Peter Johnson Herke, about seven miles southeast of the city, about eight o'clock Monday evening. Everybody who could get a conveyance responded, and by the time that the little waif was found, fully a hundred people had joined in the search. It seams that the little girl had been out to ride with her grandfather, and on their way home, darkness overtook them when near the Herke (or Barke) residence, and when Mr Long found that he was off the road, he got out of the buggy to find the tracks again, but after he found the road, he was unable for some reason to find the horse and buggy. He then aroused the people, who began a systematic search, and also notified the family of the unfortunate state of affairs. Word was sent to this city for help, and was responded to with a will, till about nine o'clock Tuesday morning when the little one was found standing by a stack of straw about a mile from where she had been left by her grandfather. She was badly chilled by exposure to the rain and cold, and was taken to the house of Joe Emerson, where she was warmed and provided dry, warm clothing, and made as comfortable as possible till she fully recovered from the shock. It would probably have been worse but for the fact that before the old gentleman found he had lost the track, he noticed the little girl was sleepy, and he wrapped her up in the lap robe and laid her down in the bottom of the buggy, where she probably remained till wakened by the heavy rain and terrible thunder and lightning. It was a very unfortunate affair and one that touched more sympathetic chords than anything that has happened to this usually quiet locality for many a day.

Child Lost and Found
The Little Girl of Frank Long Lost Monday Night - Exposed
to the Weather Over Twelve Hours.
_____________________
The people of this vicinity were aroused early Tuesday morning by the ringing of the fire bells, and to the large number who responded was given the information that a child had been lost in the woods east of the city, and searchers were wanted to try and find her.
The lost child was the four-year-old daughter of Mr and Mrs. Frank Long, whoo live on the J.H. Rhodes farm, in the town of Beilevue. The little girl was with her grandfather who had been at Oak Ridge with a horse and buggy Monday afternoon, and was returning home by the way of Peter Berke's farm and the Platte river ford near the outlet pf Rice lake. They started for home rather late and when they got in the vicinity of Joseph Emmerson's farm it was very dark, and the child's grandfather, who is quite old and feeble, found that he was off the road. He got out of the buggy to look for the road, leaving the child in the rig, and when he tried to return to the buggy he found that he had lost that also. He finally found a house and got all the people in that vicinity to look for the lost child and the horse and buggy, but owing to the intense darkness and the storm their efforts were without success,
The child was finally found by a farmer at about 9 o'clock Tuesday morning, having been out all night exposed to the severe storm and weather over twelve hours. She was standing beside a straw atack where the horse had wandered to, and had evidently got out of the buggy unassisted. The farmer heard her crying and discovered her just as a party of searchers who had found the buggy track and were following it, came up. She was wrapped so that her face was covered and when one of the gentlemen took her wraps off so she could see him she threw her arms around his neck and fairly cried of joy. She was taken to the house of Joseph Emmerson where everything was done for her comfort. She was drenched through with the cold rain that fell Monday morning, and it is doubtful if she could have stood much more exposure. Her wet clothes were replaced by dry ones, her benumbed limbs thoroughly rubbed, and although her lower limbs are badly swollen from the long and terrible exposure, it is thought that nothing serious will result.
About 100 of the citizens of this place responded to the call for searchers, and although it was quite late when the child was discovered, they were at work almost as early as a person could see. The parents of the child were almost frantic with grief, fearing that the horse might go on toward home, and in fording the river, the child might be drowned. Mr. Long traveled from house to house in that neighborhood where the child was lost, and they all heartily responded, and worked with a will to find her, even during the thunder and lightning and rain storm. The people of the city are greatly overjoyed at the success of the searchers in finding the child alive.
