COVERED WITH BAD BRUISES
Little hoy Tells Pitiful Tale of
Cruelty, Which is Denied Posi-
lively by His Mother.

AS Police Captain Iler was coming down
town Monday night he found Willie Eliel,
lad about years old, on North Sixteenth
street, surrounded by number OF boys.
The captain Investigated and found the boy
had run away from home. He told pitt
full tale of how he had been abused at home
and said he wanted to go to the police sta
ton. The captain sent him to the station
and an investigation was made. He had
a bad bruise over one OF his eyes and
when his little body was examined some
nasty looking welts were found on his back
enc of his arms was black and blue and
there were other evidences of misuse and
cruelty on his person.
When questioned as to how the bruises
were received he said his adopted mother
had inflicted them with a rawhide. He
went on to tell that his father and mother
were dead and that he had been adopted
by the people he was living with from
the Home for the Friendless in Chicago.
He related that his mother used a raw
hide on him daily and stoutly maintained
that he was not going to live at home any
more, stating that he would run away every
time he was taken back there.
Mrs. Eliel went to the station Tuesday
afternoon and told an altogether different
story. She said the boy was almost in
corrigble and that she had trouble with
him and the teachers at school were also
out of patience with his actions. He had
run away from home after school Monday
and she had been worrying about him ever
since She said that she was his own mol her
and that the boy had been regaling the
officers with fairy tales about his parents
being dead. Mrs. Eliel was we'll dressed
and evidently a woman OF education and
refinement and the authorities are 10th to
believe she is guilty OF cruelty to the lad.
The matter will probably be dropped for
the present and watch kept to see if any
further complaints are made by the boy,
who is very bright little fellow and seems
to have had considerable worldly experience
for one of his tender years.

the fun is kept going at a furious pace and

Amelia Glover is also in the company but
merely offers her dancing speciality at the
opening Of the performance after which she
does not appear again. Josie Dewitt, who
will be pleasantly remembered as having
appeared here last season with Mathews
and Bulger, is quite bewitching as Flora
the circus queen. She plays several violin
solos in which she wields the bow like an
old master. Her vocal selections were also
well received Philip Ryley plays the part
of the nephew and injects enough ginger
into 1t to make it a 60. Patti Louise Rosa
daughter OF the famous Patti Rosa, has
rather small part in which she exhibits a
bit of the talent by which she comes nat,i-

voiced, well costumed and worthy a much
better vehicle with which to display its
talents. The engagement continues this aft
ernoon and evening, closing with tomorrow

FOUND NOT GUILTY
Jury Exonerates Former Pacific Ex-
press Driver.


After brief deliberation a jury in Judge
Bakers court has declared George w. Archi
bald not guilty of embezzlement. Archibald
was on trial nearly a week. charged with
stealing $4,000 from the Pacific Express COM
pany while employed as driver last year.
Archibald denied the charge from begin
ming to end and the prosecution failed to
produce conclusive proof of his guilt. The
evidence against him was purely circum-
stantial, and his case was further helped by
numerous blunders made by the county at
torney in his conduct of the case.
Archibald made no particular demonstra-
ton when the verdict was announced. He
had maintained calmness throughout the
trial, asserting at all times his confidence in
aCquittal.

good proof that James Riley, George Muir

the principal witnesses before the grand

testimony the opinion is expressed that it
may be difficult to lndict. AS the accident
will keep him confined to his room for sew

FOR CUSTODY or a LITTLE BOY.


Mrs. Nice Institutes Court Proceedings
Against Former Husbands widow.
Judge Dickinson has encountered badly
tangled family affair, which he is asked
to adjust. 1t grows out OF the divorce case
OF Flora B. Leigh against Albert Leigh,
which was tried in the district court away
back in 1894, at which time a decree was
granted Mrs. Leigh. Custody of the oldest
child, William Alfred Leigh, now years
old, was given to the father, while the
mother was allowed to keep the younger
children.
Immediately after the divorce Leigh mar
ried Della Lang. Two years later Mrs.
Leigh married John =. Nice. Last Septem-
Der Leigh died. leaving his son, Wi'lam
Alfred, in the care of the second Mrs. Leigh
Mrs. Nice, the child's mother, objects to
this and has made several attempts to re-
cover possession of the boy, but the present
Mrs. Leigh says she has a motherly az
fection for the little fellow and that she
wants to keep him and for her authority
she cites the court stipulation giving GUS
tody to the father.
The case came before Judge Dickinson on
Tuesday on application of Mrs. Nice for
restraining order to prevent Mrs. Leigh
OF the court, It being set forth that such
threats have been made. Judge Dickinson
issued temporary restraining order and
set the for hearing on its merits De-
cember 49, Mrs. Nice also prays modif-
cation of decree so that she may be allowed
