CHILD LOST FOR 80
HOURS FOUND SLEEPING
ON RIVER BANK
James Smith, ), Wanders From
New Germany Home Tuesday
Morning

Badly scratched and suffering pain
fully from insect bites, James Smith,
five-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Law
renee Smith, New Germany, this coun-
ty, was found asleep about four miles
from his home last Thursday after
noon at $3.50 o'clock by two Balti-
more campers twenty nine and one
half hours after he had wandered
from his home.
Mr. and Mrs. Donald Moore, who
found the child, in a sitting position,
sleeping just few feet from the edge
of Savage river about a mile and
half up the stream from Merrill, while
they were fishing in the stream, told
authorities that they didn't know that
a child was lost but thought it strange
that a boy so young should be out in
the woods by himself. They said he
was badly scratched and, except for
torn blouse, the child was naked.
Moore said they returned to house
that they had passed earlier in the day
and informed Mrs. Elwood Merrill,
who resided there, and Lawrence Bian-
chi, an evangelist minister, that there
was child up the stream asleep and
asked them if they knew who it could
be Mrs. Merrill and Bianchi i'm
mediatly found the boy and returned
him to his parents, who were just re-
turning from a search through the
woods with a large group of persons,
headed by three state troopers.
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith, who reported
the child missing Thursday morning
at 9 o'clock, after searching all night,
told state police that they had gone
to Grantsville Wednesday morning to
register for sugar and had left the
child with three brothers and a sister.
The brothers, Delbert, 10, Cecil, -,
and Raymond, Is, according to the
Smiths, left home at 10 o'clock to re-
pair a road leading to the farm house,
but instructed the child to stay with
the daughter who was doing the
homework. The daughter told officers
that she did not see the child after her
brothers left and assumed they had
taken him along.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith told officers
that they began to search for the
child as soon as they returned home,
knowing him to be feeble they didn't
think he would be able to walk so far
and hoped to find him before dark.
Taken to Physician
The child was taken to a Grants
vile physician where he was treated
for scratches and insect bites. He was
described as scratched and bruised"
but was permitted to return home with
his parents.
State Troopers who conducted the
search were Trooper First Glass A. NJ.
Spioch, Troopers G. S. Dunlap and G.
M. Browning. Officers said they were
aided in the search by approximately
seventy-fve Garrett county residents
