Joplin, Mo, June % 3-Workmen
grading Alaia street, near First, have
struck body of lead ore, known as
drybone of lead, which is worth |
about so per 1000 pounds. TIE
ore was found at depth of two feet
from the surface, and rich body of |
ore is supposed to be beneath it
The little Judy boy of whom the
TINES made mention last week as
striking MIR. Shepherds little b.
in the head with rock, was tried
before Squire Hemstreet and fined
500. The mother of the Judy boy
who is a widow, had no money with
which to pay the fine and went be-
fore Judge Lay and plead for mercy.
From the goodness of heart the
Judge remitted the fine and put the
lad on parol The Judy boy was
only 13 years of age, and, while the
offense may have bsen very aggra-
vating and the blow on the head
serious, the fine appears to have
been excessive, taking the boys age
into consideration.
