BOY. 10, SPENDS NIGHT IN HILLS; DOESN'T EVEN CATCH SNIFFLES' A 10 year-ol- d Garland boy slept peacefully in the rugged hills near Holbrook, Idaho., Sunday night while his frantic search. parents and neighbors waged a desperate Rulon Carter, son of Mr. and Mrs. Leland Carter of Garland, was lost for 15 hours between Holbrook and Juniper, Ida., after he became separated from his father, a sheepherder for Harvey Harris of Stone. Rulon and his father left their camp about 5 p. m. Sunday to bring the sheep m from grazing. Mr. Carter rode off to find some strays and left his son with the main flock. When rerturned, he could find no trace of the boy. Later two of the three dogs which had been with Rulon came backd to the puzzled father, who then decided his boy must have returned to camp. Instead, the boy said later, he "just got sleepy," so he tied the horse up to a nearby bush and curled up near his dog and went to sleep. When Mr. Carter returned to camp about 7 p. m., the boy had not returned. He began a desparate search while the boy's worried mother remained at camp with their two daughters. Eleven men from Holbrook and six others from Stone joined the search later Sunday night, but with no success. A search party headed by his father finally found the boy about 8:30 a.m. Monday. He had been awake since daybreak. "I passed within yards of where he was several times during the night, but he didn't hear me because he was asleep,"' said the relieved father. "We didn't hear any sound from his horse, cither," he continued. The boy's warm clothing and his faithful dog kept him from suffering In the cold night.
