and the third sits in the back end of
the vehicle. The boys in the seat keep
watch while the third boy takes any
thing in sight. If any danger is scented
the watchers whistle a warning, the
young thief returns to the wagon and
the Boys drive away in a hurry.
Two other boys We're before Judge Sui
Ivan this morning. Their names are
Jerry and James Sullivan and they CON
fessed to having entered the Stewart
mine and stolen four pairs of shoes. the

fer. AS the officers and the young pris-
oners were leaving the Jail alley for the

ing and bolted. The officers could not
