LOST THEIR BEARINGS
1t Was an Off Day for the Little
Tots.
FOUND BY THE POLICE
Little Esther Powers Picked Up by Off
Ger Nichols-Was Well Taken Care
OF at the Jail-Some Other
Small Wanderers.

Yesterday was an off-day for little
tots who wandered away from home
and lost their bearings in a great city.
Little Esther Powers, whose parents
reside at No. $50 East Broadway al
ley, strayed away from home. Her
mother, Mrs. James Powers, came UP
town and warned her child to not leave
the yard. The girl did leave and was
picked up by Officer Nichols and taken
to the police station. The child did
not know where she lived, but said that
her father worked in the mine and that
his name was Jim. The jailor gave her
a cup of tea and a sandwich, and while
devouring this after the fashion of a
child who always delights in eating
away from home, the telephone bell
rang and then it was learned who the
child was. The mother was at the eager
end of the wire, and as soon as she
learned that her girl was at the sta
ton, she started up town again. She
arrived soon after and began to cry.
She said that her husband was still
searching for the child. Mrs. Powers
profusely thanked the officers and left
with the child, who promised to come
again when | get lost"
William Douglass called at the jail
to say that boy living in the south
ern part of town was missing. He left
home at 1880 in the forenoon with
out coat or hat. His name is Willie
Brady and his mother was almost dis
tracted over his absence. A boy about
| three years old was wandering out on
| West Park and a reporter asked him
what he was looking for and where he

FOUGHT TWELVE DuELS IN DAY
Cory Work of a French Swordsman Who
Slew 4 Dozen Italians.

SIZE" IL bozeH Ath1lanS.
Not few of those who saw Mansfield
play Cyrano here commented on the i'm
probability of the uniformed French poet
being able to fight SO many duels without
meeting death at the hands of some ad-
versary. History tells of a combat which
give color of truth to this portion of Ros-
tand's play. So extraordinary is the story
that had not the occurrences been wit
messed by an entire army the relation
would be set down as romance. The hero
was Jean Louis, one of the greatest mas
tiers of workmanship who ever lived, and
the combat happened in Madrid in 1912.
He was the master at arms of the Sd reg
iment of French infantry-the LIST regi-
ment, composed almost entirely of Ital-
ians, forming part of the same brigade.
Regimental esprit de corps and riValries
of nationality caused frequent quarrels.
when swords were often whipped out or
bullets exchanged. After a small battle
had occurred in the streets of Madrid
| in which more than 200 French and Ital-
ian soldiers had taken part, the officers
of the two regiments, in a council of war
assembled. decided to give such breaches
of order a great blow, and to re-establish
discipline they agreed that the masters at
arms of the two regiments SHOULD take up
the quarrel and fight it out. The story is
thus related by a European writer:
The drum is heard; two men. naked to
the waist. step into the ring. The first
is tall and strong, his black eyes rove dis
danfully upon the gaping crowd: he is
Giacomo Ferrari, the celebrated Italian.
The second tall. also handsome. and with
muscles like steel, stands modestly await

thrust is met by a parry. He makes up
his mind to bide his chances. and car
