MISSING CHILD
IS BELIEVED TO
HAVE DROWNED
FIVE-YEAR-oLD SALVATORE IA.
sRATo WAS LAST SEEN IN A
skIFF AND PARENTS AND Po-
LICE CANNOT LOCATE HIM.

Missing since Saturday afternoon at
2 o'clock little Salvatore Labrato. who
resided with his parents at No. 312
West Main street, is now thought to
have been drowned. Parents and po-
lice have searched for the past TWEEN
ty-four hours for the missing boy, but
have found no trace Of him. In their
searching, the police ran across a lit
tie fellow named Kline, who stated
that he saw the missing youngster
Saturday afternoon in a skiff.
So far as known, young Kline seems
to have been the last one to have seen
the little missing boy, and from his
statements to both the parents and
the police. the conclusion has about
been reached that the little fellow fell
overheard and had been drowned.
There is possibility" said one Of
the little fellows relatives yesterday
afternoon, that the boy lost an oar or
both oars from his boat and has drift
ed away. During the afternoon he dis
appeared, the wind was blowing pref
ty well, and the possibility exists that
he may have been blown away from
the shore, may have landed with his
boat at some point on the coast, or
he may yet be drifting, but that can
hardly be, as every possible clue has
been followed"
Chief Sanders personally investi-
gated the case throughout Sunday
and he cannot account for the chiid's
continued absence unless he has been
drowned, and some of the child's rel
atives, especially his parents, are
leaning toward that opinion also. The
haf ic h
ing unusual for very small boys along
the beach to many times frequent the
skiffs to be had there, and since young
Kline gave his statement, which is not
doubted, it is believed that the boat
was actually swamped, and the boy
lost
May Be in the City.
The family Of the boy was notified
yesterday that the missing youngster
had been seen in front of one Of the
picture shows late Saturday night, but
this information is based upon opin-
ion alone, the informant being not
sure that the boy seen by him was
little Salvatore Labrato. The infor-
mant hunted up the little boys big
brother and told him of the supposed
presence of the boy on Palafox street.
The little fellow was small for his
age, just five year old. and when he
was last seen in the boat and when
he disappeared from his home, he
wore blue velvet trousers and a blue
jacket. Bareheaded and barefooted, he
would likely have attracted attention
on the streets. This informa ton and
description is printed in the hope by
the parents that if their child is har-
bored by anyone in the city that they
be notified of such a fact. Should
any such information be had, call
telephone 159.

PLACED UNDER ARREST AND
ARE HELD AS ONES WHO ROB-
BED GEORGE CONSTANTINE.

George Constantine, a Greek, oper-
ating a store near the corner or

ones who took part in his hold-up.
The negroes arrested are Thomas
Carter, Melvin Ford and Richard Jov-
err 1t is known that they were in the
vicinity of the Greeks store late on
the night the Greek was forced, at the
point of a pistol, to hand out all the
cash conveniently near. A young lady
told Chief Sanders that on the night
of the robbery, she started to the
Creeks store and heard a peculiar
whistle, as IL someone was giving a
warning. Later she said, she saw one
of the negroes arrested, according to
the police, near the store.
The Greek seemed so positive that
the two first named were implicated
in the hold-up that they were held for
trial. Joyer, who was arrested by
Chief Sanders as q negro who was
alleged to have been In the neighbor-
hood on the night of the robbery,
when asked by Chief Sanders who the
other two negroes were who were with
him on the night of the robbery, at
once and without hesitation named
the other two, whom the Greek
strongly asserts are the ones who act
ually forced him to give up his money.
The trio will be tried today.

TO SAVE EYES Is the Object of This Free Prescription -Try it if Your Eyes Give
 You Trouble.

Thousands of people suffer from eye troubles because they do not know what to do. They know some good home remedy for every other minor ailment, but none for their eye trou- bles. They neglect their eyes because the trouble is not sufficient to drive them to an eye specialist, who would, anyway, charge them a heavy fee As a last resort they go to an optician or to the five and ten-c store, and oftehtimes get glasses that they do not need. or which, after being used two or three months, do their eyes more injury than good. Here is simple prescription that every one should use:
 5 grains Optona q tablet
 2 ounces water
 Use three or four times day to bathe the eyes. This prescription and the simple Optona system keeps the eyes clean, sharpens the vision and quickly overcomes the inflammation and irritation; weak, watery, over- worked, tired eyes and other similar troubles are greatly benefited and oftentimes cured by its use. Many re- ports show that wearers of glasses have discarded them after few weeks use. It is good for the eyes and con- tains no ingredient which would in- Jure the most sensitive eyes of an in- fant or the aged. Lee & Osgood or any druggist can fill this prescription promptly. Try 1t and know for once what real eye comfort is.
