By special request from the home of
the heart-broken parents of the missing
child, at Seeleyville, Ind, The Tribune
publishes the following in the hope that
the notice may aid in establishing the
identity and unearthing the where
abouts of the lost boy: "A reward of
$500 awaits any information that will
lead to the recovery of the 6-year-old
son of DR.. S. L. Byers, who was stolen
from his home in Seeleyville two years
ago this coming May. DR.. Byers has
spent his entire resources in search of
the child, but thus far in vain. The
missing boy is described as follows:
Richmond Byers, if alive was six years
old last July, is of light complexion, has
gray eyes, left eye noticeably crossed,
has small v shaped nick in the edge
of the left ear, has sharp chin and
narrow, projecting forehead. He is
rather small for his age and is unusually
bright and intelligent, talking after the
manner of boy much older. DR.. By
ers 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
gypsies. He thinks he was taken by a
wandering band that used him for the
purpose Of begging in the towns along
the route. The child may now be in
the family of some farmer who would
be glad to give him up to his parents if
their identity were known"
