city, where they would have been in danger
OF arrest for vagrancy. Monday
morning the two bows went
out and camped at Griswoldville. They
built fire and cooked breakfast nenr the
railroad. At $50 o'clock a freight train
came along. Instead of running straight
ahead. as the engineer thought it would, the
train turned onto a wrong track and
crashed into n lot of side-tracked freight
cars. Somebody had broken open the
switch. Nobody was hurt, but the engine
was damaged to some extent. Two or three
men went to the engineer and told him that
they had seen the two small boys tampering
with the switch about an hour before. One
of the boys, George Scott. was arrested and
taken to Macon. The other was not there
at the time of the arrest. and consequently
was not secured, and has not yet put in an
appearance Scott says he has an uncle in
Savannah also named Scott, and that if he
can get TO him he will be all right
