Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1880-08-08

A QuERY.-Nearly year ago keeper Of a
house of prostitution in this city, ~ the name
of Mercedes Barega, was arrested for
brutaly maltreating little Spanish boy known
as Juan, for whom she acted as guardian.
The case against her in the Police Court was
compromised on condition that she would
place the little fellow in an orphan asylum.
and he was accordingly given into the chars.
of the Sisters of Mercy at Virginia. Some
time siuce he was transferred to the Stat.
Orhan's Asylum in this city. Yesterday he
was seen walking up Carson street in the
company of the woman who SO cruelty abused
him. The question is, how did the woman
again become possessed of the boy? She is
not a fit person to have charge of him, and
she only escaped severe punishment by agree
ing to have him placed in an orphan asylum.
