Boys MIRACULOUS ESCAPE

With the provertial luck of the
small boy, Hubert Walker, z years,
son of Arthur Walker, was run over
by an automobile Monday afternoon
but escaped injury. The little chap
was riding on the rear of a wagon
going south past the Evangelical
church He jumped from the wagon
and darted across the road directly
in the path OF the Holland Furnace
Co. car of Dubuque, coming north.
Hubert was knocked down and the
car passed over him. Fortunately the
car was without a drip pan and this
made clearance enough to prevent the
boy from being damned. The driver
stopped at once and to his intense
relief found the boy unhurt but with
one foot against the fiywheel of the
engine. Hubert scampered away and
failed to tell his parents of his mis-
hap The Herald reporter called all
the Walkers in the county yesterday
to trace the boys identity, finally 10
eating him.

Romantic Legend Traces Still

Count and Countess.
CURE TELLS THE TALE
Young Son Of Titled Pair Kid

CURE TELLS THE TALE

Special Despatch to THE NEW YORK HmAIp.
MONTREAL, March IA romantic
legend of the noble lineage of Ferd X.
Beauvais. the former guide who has
been named as correspondent by James A.
Stillman OF New York in a divorce suit,
was recalled to-day by the Catholic cure
Of Caughnawaga, little town across
the ST. Lawrence from this city, where
the Beauvais family has lived for gem
eratIcns.
the history of the population of the vii
lage for great many years, said that
among the old traditions was one telling
how a young count and countess named
De Beauvais lived in the Montreal col
ony probably about 1920. young son
of the couple was kidnapped by the In
dians, and though search was made
for the child for many months he never
was found and his parents finally
mourned him as dead. The baby was
supposed to have grown up with the
Indian tribe and to have been absorbed
by 1t.
This Is only a tradition said the
cure. but here is singular thing. Up
to few years ago the Indians here took
names that handed down no surnames.
All of them had fanciful names. but the
name of De Beauvais was not like this.
1t goes back many, many years. 1t Is
in the parish baptismal register. and all
evidences point toward the fact that all
those who bore the name were proud Of
IL because OF Its traditional origin"
Ferd Beauvais Is now employed In
this city by an insurance company. and
his business cards read "Ferd X. de
Beauvais." How long he las been US
ing the prefix de" is not known. Such
q name usually indicates an origin In
the French nobility.
When questioned regarding the Still
man case Beauvais said that ''the peo-
pie involved can work out their own
problems and steadfaStly refused to
anplify that statement.
Everything that has been printed
about me and my connection with this
affair."" he said, has been distorted and
IS untrue. l have been mace to say
things that / have not said. Everything
that | have said has been before Wit
nesses."
married sister OF Beauvais and a
brother Arthur live In the village of
Caughnawaga. The Beauvais children,
according to the cure, have spent most
of their lives there. Arthur Beauvais
Is older than Ferd. thicker OF girth and
shows more plainly the effects Of his
Indian heritage. Arthur said he helped
locate Isabel Armstrong, a former nurse
OF the Stillmans, for Mrs. Stillman some
time during January. He appeared
elated that he got back across the border
before Mr.. Stillman found him.
