CHILD WAS LOST.

Saturday afternoon a child, six OF
seven years old, was seen wandering
on Broadway near ~Bordentown ave
nue., carrying a dinner pail in her
hand and crying, She appeared to
have been to- the coal docks with
someone's dinner, for the kettle was
empty, and on coming from there had
lost her bearings. A number of chill
dren and some grown people tried
talking to her but she was Polish and
could not answer except to tell her
name in Polish. The last seen of the
child she was going down George
street, where a lot of Polanders lived,
and where she was probably sent by
those who talked to her. No doubt
she learned where her home was for
she was not seen afterwards. II is
2 great risk for a child of her years
TO be sent across railroads, etc, alone
