WHo HAS LOST A BOY? One Found After the Fair by MT. and Mrs. Charles S. Hyde.

One little. light haired blue-eyed boy who got an opportunity to go to the fair Thursday because the Schools were closed improved the opportunity and eventually managed to get lostf During the early hours of ThurSdaYl evening the little fellow was the cause of considerable anxiety. He wandered down into the town of Canterbury from Brooklyn, MT. and Mrs. Charles ;. Hyde finding him at the gate of their fine country place when they returned from the fair. The little fellow imme- diately filed a petition that he De taken home, but he could not tell the good people where his home was.
 Questioned as. to his name. he said he was John Doctor as nearly as MT and Mrs. Hyde could make it out Mrs. Hyde questioned him as to places near his home that she might gam some information as to the place where he belonged, and telephoned to all the villages in the vicinity, the one best guess as to where the boy lived being, after all the investigation, on the West Side in DanielsOn.
 The little fellow, unfamiliar with the various roads leading away from the fair grounds. had taken one that led him away from where he wanted to so and though he realized he was lost he made little fuss about it. He did not cry, but requested that he be taken home. He told that he had mother, two fathers and several brothers and sisters, and said that he knew of Eiaces in Danielson that Mir and Mrs. Hyde asked him about.
 7rp to 10 o'clock the identity of the Goy lad not been fixed and he had been par 10 bed at the home of MT. and Mrs Hyde. At that hour Chief Filling st i'd that no one had reported to him flat a boy was missing, although the ice ing seems to be that the little feE- low about seven years of age lives at DanielsOn. His clothing consists of a knickerbocl1er suit of dark cloth and a little red sweater, T top coat and cap. His shoes are in good condition.
