LOST cHAD FOUND.

The little four Nar-old Polish lad,
who was missed by his parents early
Tuesday morning, was discovered yes
terday morning at Duryea. The pa
rents reside at 9l1 Robinson street, and
were almost distracted. As was stated
in yesterdays Tribune. the lad left
home in company with two Italian lads
of about his age, and whose parents
reside in the same building.
The Italian lads were found during
the afternoon at Taylor, but they were
unable to tell where their Comrade was.
1t seems that the facts surrounding the
case are rather mixed. On account of
the inability of the parents to speak
English, little positive information
could be obtained. However, it seems
that a girl is connected with the es-
capade and that it was she who took
the children away.
