CHILD FOUND IN FIELD NEAR REMINGTON

Baby Boy Found In Cornfield But No Clew Is Found As to Whom Parents May Be. Word came from Remington this Friday noon that a year and a half old bahy •boy had ibeen found in the cornfield of John Kelly, of near that city this morning. The alarm was spread throughout the surrounding country but up until noon the parents of the child had not been found and it was decided to inform the neighboring towns. No plausible reason has been advanced as to the cause of the child being alone in the cornfield and since no one has yet claimed the child a fear is entertained that the bahy had been left there by some one passing through in an automobile, wishing to 'be relieved of the responsibility of caring for the child. Mrs. Kelly will take caa-e of the little fellow until the whereabouts of ihis parents have been learned. LATER—It has been learned that the baby boy is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Tweedy, who live near the Chautauqua grounds a shotr distance north of Rensselaer. The little fellow is reported to have wandered as far as two miles from his home before being found in a cornfield.
