WAIF FOUND AT HARDY.
Six Year Old Lad Falls Into Good Hands i
and Is Thought to be Stolen Boy
from Steeleville, Indiana.
Hardy, Feb. 5.—The town of
Tardy has on hand a stray waif
;hat puzzles her good people.
L.ast Wednesday a Frisco train
;rom Memphis to Kansas City
wrought a little 6-year-old boy,
vho disembarked at this point,
mnoticed or unaccompanied by
my one. He had neither bag
gage nor surplus clothing. The
conductor of the train says after
:he train left Black Rock, Ark.,
be noticed the little fellow going
about the coach, but thought he
was in charge of some one, until
the train reached Hardy. He
then carried the boy up to the
next station, Fickinger, where
he gave him to train No. 3, to be
taken back to Black Rock.
Somehow while train No. 3
was at Hardy the little fellow
got off and was not missed by
the crew until afterwards. The
city authorities of tlardy then
wired to Black Rock, but could
find no one who either claimed
him or knew anything of his be
ing put on the train at that
place.
r luili LHC Utovwpi-ivu
the papers of the little boy stolen
at Steeleville, lnd., from Dr.
Byers, some two years ago, this
little waif fills the bill exactly.
He says he was taken from
home a long time ago in a cov
ered wagon that had a stove in
it; that it was a black man that
took him. He at first was very
timid about talking, and little of
his antecedents could be learned,
but gradually he makes remarks
and answers questions that lead
to the belief he is the boy stolen
from Steeleville, lnd. Parties
here have wired to Indiana, but
up to present time no reply has
been received.
The little boy is bright and
quick, and is in good hands here,
pending the search for his par
ents. In tne circular of his
father, asking the public to help
find his stolen child, he says that
he thinks the boy was stolen by
either someone owning a house
boat or by some roving band of j
horse traders. He does not be
lieve the deed was done by i
gypsies. Tiring possibly of their j
charge and not wishing to mur- ■
der the boy, they quietly slipped
the boy on the train at Black
Rock unobserved and in this
manner ridded themselves of the
burden.
Later—The little waif proved
to be the son of J. B. Osendorf,
of Pocahontas.
ADDITIONAL LOCALS.
I. D. Price for Rubber Stamps.
The infant daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. YV. G. Miles died at the
home of the parents, on Walnut
street, at 2 o’clock Monday after
noon, from whooping cough.
The little babe was two months
and twenty-two days old, and
was the joy of the home. The
remains were taken to St. Louis
on No. 6 last night, accompanied
by the parents, where the little
form was laid to rest in Webster
Grove cemetery Tuesday after
noon. The parents have the sym
pathy of many friends.
