Two Grown-Ups Lost in Forest; Waited for Light Cleveland Couple Found in Dense Thicket Two Miles from County Seat after Long Search Searching Party in Auto Tired, hungry and thirsty, Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Benham, a young married couple of Cleveland, were found at 2:30 o'clock Tuesday morning, sitting on a log in the dense thickets of the California tract, about two miles from town. They had lost their way while picking berries and searching parties were sent out for them. The Cleveland people have been visiting at the home of Mrs. Benham's mother, Mrs. Mary Maloney of the Center Ward. They started for the woods early Monday afternoon and went deep into the thickets. With dusk they started for home, but soon discovered they were lost. Not being familiar with the forest and unable to go any farther in the pitchy darkness, the couple sat down on a log to wait for daybreak. In the meantime the Maloney people and all their friends were aroused. Three or four parties went out in automobiles. In T. Stanton Davis' car were Mr. Davis, Al Meisel, Ray Bolsinger, Louis Evans and James Tibbott. With five lanterns among them, these men, leaving the auto in the road, penetrated the thicket for a distance of probably a mile before their calls were answered by Mr. Benham. Mr. and Mrs. Benham were then reached without much difficulty and taken back in the auto. They were somewhat scratched about the face and hands from going through the bushes and briars but are all right otherwise.
