Tommy the four year old son Of Robert
Mac Donald of this village, Thursday, Oct
g. with his brother two years older went to
the village store to purchase toys. The old
er brother soon returned home alone and said
he had forgotten Tommy. He was sent

The parents, assisted by the neighbors
and town officials, commenced the search
and have continued to the present time,
through the village and surrounding country
and in the river, without finding trace of
the missing boy. The brother sioutly main
tanned the story he first told, until last night
being more closely questioned by his mother
he confessed that while playing on Dans's

had fallen and disappeared in the rapids.
Fearing to reveal the truth to his parent, he
told them the former story Much sympathy
is felt for the parents, who have suffered
great anxiety and expended much of their
means in the search for the lost boy.
