Why the Funeral of a Bellaire Boy
Was Not Held Yesterday According
to the Announcement of an Even
ing Paper.

The evening paper, which boasts that
it publishes news in advance OF all us
competitors and never makes mis-
take, scored another one OF its notable
scoops in its Sunday edition. The
scoop referred to was not merely
an account of an entertainment IL
which one of the performers failed to
appear according to the programme,
or some such trivial matter, but real
hot live news item about a terrible
casualty that was alleged to have hap
pened in the neighboring city OF Bell
aire last Saturday.
The article was written under start
ling headlines, Boy Killed." and pro-
ceeded to give the full particulars Of
a fatal accident that befell Bellalre
lad named Johnnie Conroy while sled
riding After impressing on the minds
of it's readers how Johnnie was hurt,
the imaginative and enterpris1ng writer
Of the Evening Unreliable told how
death had come at half-past eleven
O'Clock Saturday evening to relieve the
boy after hours Of suffering. Having
consummated poor Johnnie's death, the
obliging and sympathetic editor made
all the arrangements for the funeral,
stating positively that the funeral
would take place yesterday morning at
9 O'Clock from the ST. Johns church,
at Bellaire, and that the intermenf
would be at the Catholic cemetery.

his recovery. The article might have
caused some alarm among the relatives
and friends of the boys family, were
it not for the fact that the circulation
