Harry Aarons has a badly
bruised face as a result of an en-
counter with Harry Daily. The
boys are 8 years Of age and attend
the public schools. On Wednes-
day they were playing at recess
when it is alleged they we're entlced
to leave the play grounds and then
were encouraged to have fight.
Blows passed and there was a
knock down. AS Aaron advanced
to meet his antagonist the latter
met the former by giving him his
foot in his face. During the past
week the yells OF several youths
have disturbed the work in the
schools. A snake was thrown into
Miss Jennings room and a bucket
of water into Miss Drapers room.
To break this up warrants for six
youths have been sworn out and
they will be given hearing before
Magistrate James Vanarsdalen on
Monday evening.
There is funny side to serious
case and as some of the parties are
keeping rather shady it is well to
let them see itin print. When Will
liam ]. Hunter was waylaid on last
Saturday night the three men VINO
ritled his pockets went over the
fence and ran across the nearby
corn field. This information led the
police to an important clue. They
measured the tracks and followed
them for a distance but then lost
the trail. Suspicion rested on three
men. The house was searched but
nothing was found. The woman
sent the searching party on a wild
goose chase. She told them that
one of the men worked at the Dia-
mond State Works, another at Lob
dell's and thelthird one at Golding's
Clay Works. The works were WIS.,
lifted but the men did not work there.
1t is now understood that the trio
disappeared last Saturday night.
Suspicion rested also on man wi no
occupies Kelley's tenant house be-
tween Wilmington and New Castle.
1t was late at night when the car
riage drove up to the house. This
is the way the eolored man tells
about the search, ~ seed dem
