only eighty pounds of steam being carried,
when she is permitted to carry 125. She

John MonGin Has 6-Year- Old Boy Ar
rested for Stealing $50.
Josie" Harris, a 6-year-old colored boy,
was arrested yesterday at the instance of
John Mongin, foreman on Rutledge's rice
plantation. Mongin had been sent with
check for $50 to have cashed at one Of the
banks. The money was to pay off the field
hands with. Mongin dropped the roll of bills
on his return to the plantation, bnt did
not miss it until he was about to cross the
river. He returned, making inquiry of
every one he saw about the money. When
he reached the market he was informed that
little colored boy had been seen with $50
in greenbacks.
Mongin got description of the boy and
started Officer McDernitt after him. The
officer went through Yamacraw and found
Josie" The boy did not have the
money, and when the officer insisted
on his telling where it was the little thief
said he had found a "big pile er money"
but a white man had taken it away from
him. The constable would not
accept the story and "Josie" finally told
him that the money had been hidden, and
he would go with him to where it was.
McDermott followed the boy uutl he saw
that the little rascal was lodging around
corners, aud took him to Justice Endres'
Office. Seeing that he was going to be
held, the boy made a clean breast of
his find. He told the officers that
he found the mo 1ey-that there was $50,
and that he had carried it to his mother and
she had wrapped it up and put it away.
McDerruott went for the boys mother
but she denied having tho money and
threatened to kill the boyfor telling ''lie."
When sne was released, she got a
lawyer to fight the case for her. "Josie"
was given hearing, but his attorney held
that he was under the age when he was
amenable to the law, and the case was dis
missed.
There were number of witnesses who
testified that they saw the boy with the
money as he was going home with it.
