The boy alluded to above lived
in Ketchum about two years ago.
He came here with family named
Schults but left owing to tho cruel
treatment he received. The little
fellow became Z street wanderer,
sleeping at night in a stable or hay
stack, and depending on charity
for something to eat. Jimmie, as
be was called, seemed to be a good.

He was q homeless wait, ragged and
uncouth, but that was q misfortune,

Fiction upon the authorities of
Boise that they consigned this boy
to the prison walls-to the COM
partnership of felone who, though
stepped in sin themselves, rebelled
against the injustice of the act.

by some of the kind-hearted citi-
gems of Ketchum, believing that be
