BOSTON NOTES.

city of late for yoeng boys of ages
from 10 years to IS, to play
the part of Jesse James. Houses
are broken into, stores are robbed,
and general sneak thieving is prac-
tised by these Juveniles with appar-
ent success, as the police are baffied
in their endeavor to find the youth
full thieves. The latest exploit of
the would-bo James band was to
break into schoolhouse during the
evening. This time they were sur
pri8ed by the police. Two Of the
number were captured, and a third
escaped only after shooting at the
pursuer. All these minor. Grim es
are attributed to the reading of
''dime novels" and the low "crowd"
with which such boys are allowed
to associate.
