SOME time ago mention was made of
a case of inhuman brutality, which oc-
CURED in the town of jamestown, where
a farmer by the name of j. p. Daniel
had half hung one boy and threatened
TO shoot another, both being bound to
him, for the purpose of frightening
them into confessing they had stolen
some money he had lost. The bows
when taken before a Justice, where
they were sure of protection, denied all
knowledge of the money and said they
had only confessed to save their lives.
1t was then stated that great excitement
reignedi in the section and it was thought
that Daniels would be arrested for his
brutality. From an article reproduced
below, and taken from the Galena
Gazette, it seems not only that no pro-
ceedings were instituted but the wretch
was allowed to take the boys back again.
The Gazette after a few explanatory
words says:
son Sunday morning Daniel made
his appearance in the city, in search
of the boy Harry, who had fled from
him, and whom he had tracked to
Galena. During the day, the little fell
low was found by Marshal RYAN, to
whom be related his story and succeeded
by his frank n and unfortunate
plight in arousing the sympathy of that
naturally kind-hearted officer, who took
him before Mayor Caillie, and subse-
quently to the Hony Hotel, where he
was provided with a hearty meal and
a nights lodging. After listening to
the story of cruelty as detailed bv the
lad, which he'd been practiced upon
him by Daniel, search was made forthe
latter, by Deputy Marshal Jordan, and
he was found at the depot late in the
evening, in waiting for a train, which
he had intended to take for home. He
was ordered to remain over night, and
on Monday Daniel and the boy Day
were taken together before Mayor
Caille. when the lad retold his sad story
which aroused the Indignation of those
who heard it to such a pitch. that
Daniel was compelled to pay the fare
OF the lad to Bloomington, to avoid
being held for his cruelty. Harry took
the train last evening for the latter city,
where he viii be taken care of by the
Western Agent of the asylum. Ii is
hoped that when he is again bound ont
he will fall into more humane hands.
From this it appears that one friend
less waif is out of Daniels clutches and
it is to be hoped that the other was
equally fortunate. II town and county
authorities would use a little more car
in binding GU these waits there would
be fewer eases of this kind to arouse
public sympathies.

solidly for it, while out of thirty-seven

voted against it. Yet civil service re-
form was one of the strongest Demo-
