| SMALL BOY DROWNED
Lewis Troutman Fell in the NeOshO
and Drowned Before he Could
be Rescue

Lewis, the eight year old son of
Philip Troutman, who lives at 3l5
North street, was drowned in the Neo-
sho river about two o'clock yes
terday.
The little fellow had gone to the
river this morning with an uncle
Fred Riegle, fishing and at the time of
the accident was sitting on log at
the edge of the water near Jim Trine's
sawmill and his uncle was about
forty feet down the stream. The uncle
heard the boy fall into the water, saw
his struggles and hurried to his as
sistance but being unable to swim
dared not jump into the water himself.
He stood on the log from which the
boy had fallen waiting for himto come
up, but the boy either did not come up
or if he did arose under the log or
under one of the numerous boats tied
nearby, for the uncle says, he did not
see him again. After waiting labout
five minutes he ran down to the Davis
mill and summoned George and
William Davis who hurried to the
scene with boat hook. They
searched the bottom of the river care
fully and finally found the body about
| fifteen feet from the bank in some ten
feet of water. The boy was dead when
found, having been in the water about
twenty minutes.
Mr. Troutman works at the Cement
plant and was hastily summoned to
the scene. He says that the boy had
been begging to go to. the river but
before leaving for his work this morn
ing urged that the boy be kept at
home.
The parents are grief-stricken, as is
also the uncle, and they have the sin.

Two New Prisoners KangarOed.

One of the admirable qualities about
an American man is that he can adapt
himself to conditions and have a good
time any where. The reporter has in
mind the gentlemen who occupy the
''Hotel de Hobart" better known as the
Allen county Jail.
The REGISTER has often mntioned
the Kangaroo court which is in exist
ence at this hotel but like any other
court it deserves mention whenever it
sits. 1t sat this morning and the two
new members which were initiated will
not sit for some time. They were
Willard Ernest and Albert Watson.
two young men who formerly worked
here and boarded at Il. Y. Burkes
boarding house 507 North street.
They have been working round town
but left last Monday night for TT. Scott.
Soon after they were gone it was
discovered that some clothes had been
taken. The boys were accused of it
and sheriff Hobart went to Scott after
them last night returning with them
this morning.
AS soon as the keys were turned the
Kangaroo session went into session.
Joe Nangle acted as Judge and he
soon had the charges prepared.
Sheriff Cockey Joe Langley form
erly of Humboldt, was instructed to
bring the prisoners before the court.
When he had seated them the Judge
read u paper to them which charged
them with breaking into Allen county
Jail on the 10Th day of July, 1900
care you guilty or not guilty?:'
Numbered the Judge. One of them
pleaded guilty Immediately but the
other one protested his innocence.
When he said not guilty the members
of the gang began to smile and get
their clubs ready. Judge Nagle sem
fenced the first fellow to five lashes
and thirty days on the stone pile.
The last clause means that he will
have to scrub the floor every morning
for thirty days unless some one else
comes along and receives a similar
sentence. BY this time the second
man decided that.he had better plead
guilty so he asked the judges permiss-
ion which was granted. He was given
a similar sentence and the sheriff be-
gan the execution. The prisoners
were ordered to straddle a bench
which is kept there for that purpose
then hang their heads over the end
like small boy looking into the
water off high bridge. While in
this position the five lashes were pre-
scented and as Cockey weighs about
$50 he is capable of performing that
part of his duties to perfection. Then
came the grand march. All 1.-THE prison
ers formed in line and marched around
the cages. At one place there was
drop fixed which holds about three
buckets of water and when the prison.
ers were under this the drop was
sprung. The court then adjourned
