 Companions,
 Saturday afternoon Timothy Moyn- ahan, the 5-year-old son of MT and Mrs Michael Moynahan, of Carman street, with other youngsters, took a raInble through the woods and had reached a point in the neighborhood of HaIperS Ferry, when some one chased them out Of the lots. In making his escape, young Moynahan got separat- ed from his companions, and wandered through the woods until darkness set in upon him, and kept it up during the night, wandering from ons place ta another, until he lay down near the pumping station, where Le was found between ! and s o'clock yesterday morning by John Baralari, who lives in the neighbCrhood. and happened to make a trip to a friend in Prospect and took that course. Baralari's dog found the boy and kept barking at him until the man went to see what
 
 coat wrapped about his head and had one of his shoes off and was engaged in an effort to warm his foot with his hands. Baralari took in the situation al q glance and. removing his big coat. threw it around the little fellow and then picked him up in his arms and carried him to the house and gave him the snuggeSt corner in the place. lie reported the matter to the police station and the welcome news was l quickly forwarded to the heartbroken parents. who had not closed an eye l from the time the child was missed. i Several parties spent the night search 1 ing the woods in the hope of finding l tue boy. and they were still out when | the boy was brought home. | It is q mystery how the little fellow 1 lived through the ordeal for it was q 1 hard freezing night, so much so. in 1 fact. that people found it hard to keep 1 warm beside the fire. The child was l pincheu by the frost. but his injuries are not considered serious.
 \ Democrat reporter called at thea | Moynihan residence this afternoon and | found the boy about the house appar-' | cntly none the worse for the eNperi- cnce. The eNpress,nan who picked 1 him up was there at he time and
  | not have lived another hour if some | one had not discovered him. His eyes | were set, he says, and the tears that | had rolled down his cheeks were l frozen so that he could not open them. | After getting him into the house they | had to pry his mouth open with d l spoon in order to pour some warm | coffee down his throat. When he got q few doses of the liquid and ! good l rubbing he began to realize that he | was still alive and soon told the fami-- | ly his namp and where he belonged. | NIr Baralari deserves credit for the manner in which they ministered to the boy and no doubt little Timothy and his parents will always hold him | in grateful remembrance. He had not 1 been gone from the house long when | his mother missed him. but of course. she supposed he would return with | his companions. The woman was al- most crazy until he was found. How do you feel to-day. Timothy?" asked | the reporter. Look at that.' he re- piled as he executed a war dance across the kitchen. holding out his hand, which was filled with money.
