Boy MysteriousIy Disappears
While Bathing at Jamesburg

JAMESBURG. Aug. 22.-what has
become of Charles Zalasko, aged ten,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. John Zalasko, of
Hooker street, who m~ystertously dis
appeared last night while swimming
in the lake? Indications point to
the theory that he has drowned and
searching parties are dragging the
lake for his body.
The last seen of the boy was short
ly before 7 o'clock when he sat on
the bank waiting to take one more
plunge. The failure of the boy to
return home for supper alarmed his
parents and a brother was sent for
him, but found only his clothing I'M
disturbed on the bank Of the lake.
Many different stories are old leading
up to the actual disappearance of the
boy, but none can throw any light on
the mystery.
The parents are buoyed up with the
hope he will turn up as he was SUBJ
ject to fits of epilepsy and may have
wandered off and parties were out all
night searching the woods nearby as
one child claims to have seen him
walking toward the thicket close by.
Neighbors claim Zalasko has on
numerous occasions stayed away from
home over night and another brother
ran away from home some months
ago but was taken at Hightstown the
next day.
