Psrpstrated on a Bsllairs Small
Boy
By Two Cruel Cowards-Tied and Thrown
Into an Empty car-Persoual
Notes and General News
from Bellaire.

On Thursday morning little lOyear-old
son of Adam Fauple,s went with gentle
man to show him the way to Schick's,
about mile and half west of this city.
The boy started to come back home by
himself, and as he was coming In near the
stock pens he was caught by two men and
scared nearly out of his senses. After
handling him very roughly and knocking
him about until they became tired, they
took some ropes which one of them had
about him and tied the boy hand and foot
,ying his hands securely behind his back
so that it was impossible for him to
extricate himself. and then threw
him into an empty freight
car that was standing on the sidetrack;
after which they went off and left him
there. The car was on a sidetrack away
from the main thoroughfare, aud he was
unable to make any one hear his cries for
help, and Law there sweltering in the sun
for about three and half hours, when for
tunately one OF the B. & O. yard clerks
came along and found him just in time to
prevent his being taken away in the car.
The little fellow was nearly exhausted with
the heat and his cramped position. He did
not know who the scoundrels were, but
thinks he has seen them before. Mr..
Fauple will pay handsomely for their ar.
rest and conviction, and will make all ef-
forts to find out who they were. No pun
ishment is too severe for q human brute
that would perpetrate such an outrage. No
possible reason except pure cussedness can
be assigned as a reason for the outrage.
