A BOY WIIO WASN'T
LOST AFTER ALL
I'hil Ilooton. the little throe-year old
son of Mrs. and Mrs. Ira Booton. at
-:M0 o'clock yesterday afternoon wander
ed from the residence of Judge and Mrs.

and found his way into the business dis
tfict at 1-th and Washington streets.
Policeman John Xatus saw tin* little fel-
low in the middle of the busy street and
made an effort to reach him.*
I hi] did not like the looks of blue
cloth and brass buttons evidently for
setting up a healthy wail he broke and
ran up Elizabeth street as fast as his
little legs could carry him. Xatus finally
caught him near lltli street however but
found that he had his hands full for the
youngster slapped and scratched and
yelled until the policeman had to put
| him down. At once the litttle chap con-
tinued to hurry up tin* street crying as
he ran.
A crowd of perhaps two hundred peo-
ple were trailing along after the child
'but no one could identify him. Eventual-
Ay the crowd with the baby in the lead
; reached tin* post office and there it was
learned that his father was Ira Booton.
money order clerk in the post office.
Litttle Phil knew all the time where
he was going and lie was determined
I that his way should not be blocked by
officers of the law. automobiles buggies
| or any other obstruction. He knew bet-
ter than any one else where “Papa” was.
I and lie shed many a tear and put up a
i good tight in order to reach him.
Mrs. Booton was at the Allen resi-
dence. and did not miss little Phil until
Mr. Booton reached tin* residence with
him. She was under tin* impression that
the baby was playing in the yard with
some other children.
