Hill park last night Three children of
Mr. T. Archibald Cary, Of Richmond were
reported lost in the rugged river blufi. and
the neighborhood was aroused. Men on
foot and on horse searched the dark SorSes#

nurse who accompanied the children yes
tertlay afternoon to the park returned IN
the evening, saying the three Oldest emil
dren would not return with her. This
alarmed their mother, who at once started
for the park to find them. AS they mad
started for home afoot they were not
found at the park. and as the street-car
men had seen nothing of them the alarm
was given and search instituted
Much uneasiness was felt until 1t was
learned the children had arrived safely at
home about O'Clock, having walked from
