court. Monday morning. There were eight
of them under Is years Of age and one l6.
All were accompanied by representatives
of their families. The story that came
out of a long interview witn the boys by
City Marshal Call and Judge Shaw
showed that the young fellows had been
having things pretty much all their own
way for the past two years and that they
had accumulated quite fortune, II they
had saved 1t.
CITY Marshal Can sent for represent
alive Of the colby Athletic Association,
and he was willing that the boys SHOULD
be dealt with as kindly as possible, and
so the court taking into consideration
the youth of the lads, sentenced the eight
YOUNGEST to the reform school during
their minority and the oldest 10 80 days
in Jail, and then suspended sentence on
all. during good behavior.
There was no evidence that the Older
boy was a leader of the rest or that he
was associated with them in their work
The action of the court is humane. These
bows have never before been in trouble
