Missing BOY REAPPEARS.
Louis Latulippe, Burlington Youth, Takes
a New lob.

Burlington, July 20.---Louis Latulippe
the l6-year-old boy who disappeared
from family picnic party at Ethan Al
len park Sunday evening in company
with a man against whom he was to
testify at the coming term of Chitten-
den county court, has reappeared, Just
before closing time at the American
Wooden company's mills, Winooski, on
Thursday evening, Latulippe appeared
and asked for a job. He was identified
by Edward Shuttleworth, an oyerseer,
as the boy whose description had been
furnished by the father few days ago,
when the latter was searching for the
runaway Mr.. Shuttleworth detained the
lad and notified the elder Latulippe, who
went over to the mills and had long
talk with his SON The lad remained at
home that hight, and yesterday morning
he went TO work on a new Job at the
mills, leaving his former employment at
the Vermont Spool 8 Bohbin company.
He evidently became sick of his old job
and wanted a change, although he took
somewhat unconventional way OF going
about it.
