A LOST CHILD.
A Touching Episode Which Created Some
Excitement Yesterday.

A four.year old boy lost upon the
street caused considerable excitement
for couple of hours, yesterday.
Shortly after noon the little fellow,
well and comfortably dressed, was
found by Miss Margaret Cole on Mill
street, near her fathers store. He was
unaccompanied by anyone and it was
plainly to be seen that he was lost.
He, however, seemed perfectly con-
tented, interested in what he saw
about him, evidently not realizing
what it meant to be lost.
Mere tot that he was, he was re-
markably bright, and answered all
questions readily. His name was
Willie Leiby, he said, and he lived in
Bloomsburg. This made il very diff
ficult to locate his parents and soon
large proportion of the population of
the Third Ward was interested in the
little fellows welfare. Meanwhile, he
had been given into the hands of
Chief Mincemoyer, who telephoned TO
Bloomsbury, but could learn nothing
as TO the child.
Shortly after 3 o'clock, as Chief
Mincemoyer was making his rounds,
when near Cedar street, he met three
frantic women. One of them was
mother who had lost boy and they
appealed to the chief for assistance in
hunting for the child. The chief told
them that he had a boy at his house
who did not belong to him, and few
words sufficed to reveal the fact that
the object of their search and the lit
tie boy found on Mill street was one
and the same. His fathers name is
Harry Leiby, who resides near the
Jail. The family removed to this place
from Bloomsbury during the last sew
eral months. The little fellow had
been lost since half past ten o'clock
in the morning.-Dan0ilHe Ne7oS, Sat
