HAKKERUP GHILD LOST Three Year Old Boy Strays From Mother; is Found Late Sunday. | Little Bjorn Hakkerup, three years | old, son of Mr. and Mrs. N. L.

Odegard were required to call out the name of the boy and also | the name of the dog which accom- | panied him on his journey, in the hope that the yelling might bring a | response from the child. | About five miles toward Walker on the Minnesota and International ‘track, the dog was heard to bark, |and by going in the direction form whence the bark came the little fel- low was discovered, clinging to his good dog with one hand and his cap with the other. None the worse for his experience, he was brought home, and it was with difficulty that his mother man- aged to scrape a dinner together large enough for him. Mr. Hakkerup wishes to thank those who assisted him in the search for the boy.
