To-day, little twelve-year old cOlOrad

rail was stood up for loud and prOfane talk
and fighting on the street. His name is Geo
Carr. About two weeks ago he was sent To
the reform school during minority. The at
tentlon OF the court was called To this fact
Judge Smell said he knew something of this
case. The superintendent of the reform
school called upon him yesterday and stated
mat the trustees Of that institution had
turned the boy loose again on the ground that
he was too incOrrigible for management and
his habits too peTniciOus for contact with the
other boys. He did not know by what rule
these officials had done so, but there he is
again. Officer Pfaff testified that when ne
arrested George he was heating and stamping
little white boy on the street. The charge
being violation of District ordinance he
was sent down to HOdgsOn's farm for 9Odavs

sos for selling liquor without license. The

colored, was in junk shop this morning
with a handful of gas fixtures for sale. The
proprietor suspected that he had stolen them,
and attempted to detain him, when he showed
resistance and fight, and declared that Mrs
Magruder had given them to him. The tale
was too crooked for belief. and he was turned
over to Officer Wheelock, who had him under
lock and key in double quick time. At court,
no one appearing against him, he was COM
mitted to Jail for a hearing.

jail few days ago in default of bonds to
