not to go. 'tt.aft- s-. '
+ The iron with which the boy was struck was a
-four sampler. 1t was fonnd in the part of the
store indicated by Tape and was considerably bent
probably from the effects OF the blow dealt with II
on the boy. The name of the deceased is Theodore
George Wolley. Ii is not probable that the bio"
e received would have occasioned death, had he
not been confined and snothered beneath the sacks
of bran. 'r,. .
