FOUND FREDDIE.
A Little Boy Picked Up, Last
Night, Who Told Strange
Story.

"Good evening, mister" said q small
boy TO BAzoO reporter, last night, about
ten o'clock, rs the latter was going south,
on Ohio street.
The reporter returned the salut.tion, aud
then asked the boy, who said his name was
Fred Rast, where he was going, at that
time of night?
81 don't know, sir; haven't any place
to 60"
Don't know! No place to go!" was the
surprised reply of the reporter.
where do you live, when at home, If
you have such q placer
Il live here in Town, but can't stay at
home"
"Why not? 1t seems strange that boy
of your age cannot live at home"
SWELL, sir, my father has driven me
away. and amt got any place to stay.n
"What's your fathers manner"
"John Rzst. He lives on West Main
street, and works in the round house."
"Why won't he let you stay ut home :?
Ysu don't look as though you could do
fanything very terrible"
And then Fred told the following story {:
II was persuaded, last Thursday, to play
truant BY some Of the boys at our school.
the German Catholic, on West Third
street. That night / was afraid pa would
whip me, and went to Mrs Daugherty's
here on Ohio street, and staid.. Whenl
went home Pa ran me of, and / have been
at Mrs. Daughertys ever since, until to-
night"
"Why are you not there now%
because she got tired of keeping me. /
went home while ago, but pa wouldn't
let me in He said he had seen the priest,
and the priest said could not come back
to school, and pa told me he didn't want
any boy round him that the priest
wouldn't let 60 to his school,"
The reporter, not knowing whether the
boy was telling the truth or not, concluded
he would take care of him one night and
so took him to the Leroy house and pro-
vided him with bed and breakfast.
This morning, Fred was out, bright and
early, looking for job, as he said he was
tired of cumming.
The reporter was also out, looking up
the boy's record and investigating the
story OF cruel fathers unnatural treat
nent of a mere mite Of boy. Mr.. Rast
is said to be kind father and that Fred is
simply chronic runaway, who
is constantly causing trouble by his desire
to escape from parental authority. Officer
Wentzleman told the reporter that Fred
was a notorious little liar, and that his
yarn about having been driven from home
is all bosh; that he has told the same lie
time and again.
But Fred sticks to it that he has told !
the truth, and says he went home this |
and that his mother said size |
didn't know whether he could come back |
Or not. Rather q strange statement for a |
mother to make. 1t looks little queer
that his father is not out hunting him mp. |

LEAVES OF GRASS.
The Kind Of q Bouquet Given Miss
Rogers by q Sedalia Ad-
mirer.

A good story 10 told on . certain young
gentleman of this city, who can generally
be found at the county Offices, and bis
friends are having quite . laugh At his
expense.
The young man has never shown the
least susceptibility to the influence of f.
male charms; is never seen in the company
of ladies, though his habits are phenOm-
enally good, and he would be . splendid
catch for any girl.
But there is always an affinity" for
every man, and when she comes along he is
bound to take tumble, and then he goes
in to win with . vim and recklessness
highly Amusing to those who witness it,
Ii has thus happened to the young man in
question, the affinity" being no other than
the charming Miss Rogers, of the Maid of
Arran" company, which played here last
night.
The history of this mash dates back .
year ago, but not until last night did it
make itself known to the fair Genevieve
The denOument Was in this manner: The
young man, in his implicit confidence in
the honesty of q certsin friend, asked his
assistance in selecting bouquet, to be
presented to the young lady. Certainly,
nothing would afford the friend more pleas
ure, and be promised to secure one. He
did so, but with the malevolence of .
friend, he procured one of the old grass
affairs. which dc duty in winter time n

man. who would give his life for one sweet
kiss from the radiant Rogers.
He didn't know that it was q bunch Of
grass, but when be tried to smell it there
was no smell to it. and so he took it to .
druggist friend, and had him give it big
dose of perfume.
Then he hied him to the thester, and at
an orportune moment, his heart fairly
bubbling over with the tender emotion, be
threw that memento of his love at the feet
of the dashing Rogers. She picked it up,
cutely smiled at her admirer and slipped
b.ck into the wings of the stage to have q
quiet laugh at his lack of botanical knowl-
edge. However, as if proud Of such con-
quest, she bore it in her hand as she took

A Rolling Pin.

About dusk. yesterday evening, Officer
Jackson heard and saw evidences of fami-
ly discerd, over Vests grocery store, on
Ohio street. Just as he got opposite the
foot of the stairs which lead up the side of
the building, rolling pin came hurriedly
down Tire steps, and landed out on the side
walk. The officer stopped, looked at the
pin and wondered from whence it came
and whether it was thrown by a man,
woman or kitchen artist. He was thus
trying to solve the riddle when a man who
sells books, came down the stairs, hastily
grabbed up the pin and as hurriedly re-
turned with il.
Perhaps it was thrown in JEST, hut the
sound of angry voices leads Jackson to
think that il was hurled more in anger
than in play, and that only a successful
dodge prevented it's raising a bump on
some ones head.

WHISKY'S WORK.
in East Sedalia, Yes
terday.

There il little form lying dead, in Fact
Sedalia, this afternoon, which, but for the
administering of one drink of whisky to it,
would, in all probability, be as full of life
and play, to-day. Is it was yesterday MORN
The cold and silent form is that of little
Jimmie, the two-vear and hall old son of
Mr. and Mrs. Mike Lennard, who live in a
miserable house just north of the railroad
sewer, in East Sedalia.
This morning . BAzoo reporter visited
the afflicted home, and from the weeping
mother, who was found sitting BY q cook
stove, learned the sad story:
Yesterday morning, about 10 O'Clock"
she said, 81 sent my oldest boy to the
butcher shop for some meat On his way
back he passed BY pile of saw. dust, and in
1t he saw bottle He took it and brought
it home and his father opened il and
said il was whisky that was in it. 'Don'i
drink any of it, Mike says /, Tor it may
Be poisoned But he took . drink, and
little Jimmie asked for some Mike gave
the lad . sup. and then, as was washing
he said little would do me good. / took
shout tablespoonful. but it made me sick
In q little while was cramped in my
stomach, and nv head got dizzy, and /
vomited. Then / went to bed, and took
the boy with me, as he had gone to sleep
In his fathers arms"
what time was that?"
1T was about eleven o'clock when Jim.

again; only he opened his eyes twice, but
We could not rouse him."

couldn't do any good. Jimmie died, last
night, about IL o'clock"
did the liquor have any peculiar effect
on your husband ?"
"Not very much; though he took big
drink of it,"
This morning DR.. Overstreet was in
formed of the child's death, and he de.
termined that an inquest was necessary,
and such was held this afternoon
The verdict reached, however, was too
late for the BAZoe's first edition 1t is
likely that there was no foreign poison in
the whisky, but that an overdose was given
the child. just how much, the mother
could not say.

A CROOK CAUGHT.
But He Managed to Rob an Old
Lady Before He Was
9obbled Up.

Conductor Jack Patterson had bit oil
experience, last night, on his train, the
north bound X. & L.
Yesterday evening, three men, who af.
terward proved, to be veritable scoundrels
20: on the train at Parsons, and at once set
to work to spy out victims. One of the
number selected an old lady as his prev,
and, seating himself by her, soon talked
his way into her good graces. He request
ed her to lei him see her ticket, which she
granted, at the same time showing
him the money which was
with the ticket, both being tied up in
pocke.book which was wrapped in a
handkerchief. After examining the ticket,
the fellow gave it back to the owner, and
she placed it in the purse. wrapped the
"wipe" around it and deposited it in a
basket.
Watching his opportunity, the slick
scoundrei slipped the book ont of the bas-
ket and them, excusing himself, went into
the water closet, where he unwrapped the
handkerchief, TOOK the money out of the
pocketbook, and threw it and ticket out of
The window.
When the men got aboard of the train.
Conductor Patterson spotted them as conf
dence men, and when he saw the actions
of the one who was seated by the old
woman, he once concluded that sharp
game had been played. Going up to the
old lady, he asked her if she had lost an,-
thing. She searched the basket, and to her
discovered her pocket was
gone.
Patterson at once demanded of the man
a return of the money, but he protested he
did not have it; a very true statement, as
he had passed it TO one of his pals. But
the conductor arrested him, placing "Lige"
Philips, the news agent, over him as
guard. A telegram was sent on TO Nevada
for an officer to meet the train at the de-
pot. This was done, and the villain was
taken in charge and locked up. il being
to make case against the 9TH
er two men, they were not arrested.
The old lady, who was on her way from
Texas to Greenville, Mississippi, was
greatly exercised over her loss, as il left her
and ticketless. But some com.
mercial travellers, who were on the train,
Clipped in and raised a purse Of $l5, thus
giving her the means whereby to continne
her journey.
