AN EDITORS APPEAL
To Brother Publishers in Behalf of
The Lost Child of Dr.. Byers of
Seeleyyille, Ind.


If the editor of every paper in the GEN.
trail west will republish these lines there
is no question but what DR.. S. L. Byers
of Seeleyville, Ind, will recover his little
son who was stolen from his home one
year last May. DR.. Byers has spent his
entire resources in search for his child
and unless the big hearted members of
the press come to his assistance his son
will grow up an outlaw and an outcast
among the lowest people of the earth.
1t is cause that should appeal to
everyone and no father reading these
lines can do 30 without quickening of
the heart and sympathetic throb. 1t
is believed that if this article is reprint
ed in the newspapers it will form an
ennless chain that will uncover the lost
boys concealment and return him to his
distracted parents. In doing this the
profession of journalism will be fulfill
ing one of its highest destinles.
Publishers whose calculations touch
the Wabach, Ohio and Mississippi val
leys are especially requested to repro
duce this story Of the lost child as DR..
Byers believes his boy is now on some
houseboat waiting to take the road in
the Spring. There is reward of $500,
awaiting any information that will lead
to the boys recovery. No questions
will be asked and if the abductor him
self would deliver the boy to his parents
he would not be molested. The bereav-
ed parents are heart broken with grief
and want only their child. If each jour-
nal will reprint these lines, they will
travel to every exchange table in the
United States and bring back to q
wretched home child who is now no
no doubt suffering with cold, unfed and
wretched to degree. Think of what
your own feelings would be under SINH
lar circumstances! This appeal is in
dicted originally by publisher who
saw DR.. Byers only once, has no person
al interest in his quest other than the
bond Of sympathy that makes the world
akin, and Is inspired from the belief
that the lost boy can only be found
through the united effort of the country
press of which he is proud to be men,
Der. His recovery will be triumph in
advertising and no editor whose heart
is placed right will refuse this appeal.
Remeber. it may be your child next!
The following is a description of the
lost boy:

is rather small for his age and is unusu-

the manner of boy much older.
DR.. Byers has searched among the
rowing bands that frequent; the United
States and believes that his son can be
found among travelling junk dealers, SO
called horse traders or movers. He
does not think the boy was stolen by
genuine gipsies. He thinks he waa
taken by wandering band that used
him for the purpose of begging in the
