Toâ€"day hope of findâ€" ing the 78â€"yearâ€"old woman alive has been practically abandoned. The missing woman, who took up reâ€" sidence with her son, John Watson, tower observer employed by the Onâ€" tario Forestry Branch, last February, after living for a time with a daughter in Gowganda, is said to have been in on mm ammme nsm omm mm mm mm a feeble condition when last seen. The Watson home is located on the south boundary of Langmuir on the shore of the Nighthawk River. A search party has combed the bush for a distance of a mile in all direcâ€" tions possible, but the dense underâ€" growth has hampered the efforts of the rescue workers. While Priday and Saturday were comparatively warm, the preceding days were cold and raw, frost and a light fall of snow lending weight to the theory that the woman may have died of exposure. When she lefs the house on Tuesday she said that she was going out for a walk. Working on the supposition that she may have fallen into the nearby river, a boat equipped with grappling irons was despatched from the Timmins forâ€" estry station but efforts in this direcâ€" tion were fruitless. The Watson home at the observation tower is in an isolated section of bush country. Constable Hancock, who was accompanied by Game and Fisheries Overseer Phil Boudreau, had to walk in a distance of fiftsen miles to reach the spot, after leaving their car at Arcadia mine, which is a similar disâ€" tance from Timmins. The closest house to the Watson home is approxlâ€" mately three miles distant. Provincial Constable Harold Gall, in charge of the local detatchment, said toâ€"day that he is awaiting further inâ€" structions from headquarters in Toronâ€" to as to further efforts to locate the missing woman. In the meantime however the search is being continued. fifteen men were secured from the local employment office and taken to the fire zone by truck. In all thirty men took part in the battle against the flames which burned through approxiâ€" mately two hundred acres of slash. Forestry officials state that the fire did not reach any of the green timber. For a time it was feared that the fire might spread to the nearby lumber camp where seven thousand cords of wood that was cut last winter is piled.
