| Lazarus RarrosSky Found In
a swamp Friday Almost
bead.
After eeventy-two hours of terrible
suffering Lazarus Barossky, the Carmel
child, was found in swamp Friday
morning, and the little fellow was
more dead than alive.
Ever since the child was first missed
Carmel has been in state of excite
ment, and nobody has been working
and even the factories have been
closed and the people have instituted
searching parties and secured the
woods about the place.
1t was terrible matter to contem-
plate. A little child wandering no one
knew where, scantily clad, with no.
thing to eat, subject to the exposures
in severe storms, and amid the terrors
of dense swamp and darkness.
Thursday morning at eleven o'clock,
the people of Carmel held a meeting
in the school house to decide upon
some measures to assist in finding the
child, and party of seventy-two men
and boys started out to make COM
plete and thorough search. They
secured every bit of the woods and
swamp, and the search was continued
until one o'clock Friday morning,
when worn out by the long tramp,
and drenched by the rains, the party
returned to their homes for "a little
rest.
Just before the party gave up the
search for the night, some of the peo-
pie heard sounds as If means, but they
could not find from whence they came.
eat five o'clock Friday morning
the party started out again. They
could find no traces of foot steps, and
the search was wearisome in the ex-
treme. II was just about nine o'clock,
three full days from the time the child
disappeared, when four of the search
ing party heard means. The four
were,a a man by the name of Mutchnik,
David Carman, Frank Miller and Eli
Rosenfield. The quartette of searchers
pushed forward in the direction from
whence came the sounds, and in few
minutes they were rewarded by find
ing the little fellow.
He was in dense portion of the
swamp, fully mile and half from
his home. He was upon his hands
and knees, his body partially covered
by water, while his head was lying
upon raised portion of ground. He
was just in the act of gnawing some
of the bark from trees within his reach.
The pangs of hunger had driven him
to do this, and the trees about him
showed that he had bitten good deal
of bark from the bushes and trees.
When little Lazarus beheld his res
cuers, he burst into tears. He was
caught up by some Of the party and
hastily carried to his home. The good
news quickly spread throughout the
little town, and the searching party
was recalled, and the house was sur
rounded by an excited and happy
crowd.
The little fellows dress which he
wore, was wringiug wet, and he was
chilled through and through. His
little arms and legs were horribly
fswollen, and the legs were scratched
by the briars of the swamps, until
they had bled freely. Physicians were
sent for, and DR.. Mailly of this city.
and a doctor from Rosenhayn came to
the house, and gave the little fellow
treatment.
A PIONEER reporter went out to the
house Friday afternoon, land saw
the little fellow. There were many
neighbors about the house. Lazarus
was lying upon bed in the front
room. He was awake and seemed to
be taking an interest in everything,
but did not want to talk to anybody.
He did not show the terrible suffering
he had gone through during the sew
enty.two hours he was In the swamp.
His physicians were giving him brandy
and beef tea. and it had a wondrous
beneficial effect, and unless something
unforeseen occurs, he will pull through
all right.
