great condemn alton. The farmers story
that the boy ran away and hid In q
wheat bin and that his feet were frozen In

hould survive, which Ia doubtful. A
near neighbor Of the accused farmer, In
conversation with your correspondent
stated that tie boy WAS, uncleanly ,thiev.
ISL, and disposed TO run away. he did
not think the boy had been treated In q
very harsh manner, but as well % he

hts master q legal investigation should be
made, which, II tine latter is blamable,
will secure his punishment, and II the
contrary is shown, will relieve him OF the
stigma under which he now lAbors.
