CHEYON BOY JAILED,
Committed Without Bail After the
Coroner's Jury Fixes the
Crime Upon Him.

Stephen Cheyon. the 10-year-old lad
who threw an iron rivet at 14-year- old
Mamie Cubellis in Winton on Wednes-
day afternoon, is locked up in the
county Jail on the charge of murder.
He is the youngest prisoner ever re-
ceived ut that institution on that charge
and one of the youngest ever received
on any charge.
The nominal prosecutor is County
Detective Phillips, who went up to
Winton yesterday morning and who
caused the lads arrest. after he had
conducted an investigation. The boy
was committed to the county Jail with
out bail by Squire Bell of the First
ward, Winton.
Coroner j. It. Saltry also went up to
Winton yesterday morning. He per-
formed an autopsy on the body of the
dead girl and discovered that death
had been caused by hemorrhage of
the brain, resulting from severe con-
cussion. AT an inquest conducted inn
mediately after the autopsy the only
witness examined was IL small boy who
was playing near the place at the time
the Cubellis girl was killed.
He said that the Cubellis girl was an
noying little Cheyon's sister and that
the latter becoming enraged. threw the
rivet at her. He couldn't say whether
or not the boy picked the rvet up or
had ii in his possession. The jury
brought in verdict to the effect that
the girl came to her death ''at the
hands of one Stephen Cheyon."
County Detective Phillips said yes
terday that from information he had
secured the Cubellis family had been
warned by the landlord against vast
ing the water from Il hydrant in the
front of their house. On Wednesday
the S-year-old Cheyon girl was fooling
with the hydrant and letting the water
run. Mamie Cubellis told her to stop
and she did not, whereat the Cubellis
girl pulled her hair and slapped her.
While she was doing this little Steph-
en- came along from school and seeing
his sister being abused he reached in
his pocket and pulled out three-quar-
ter inch boiler rivet which he threw
at Mamie Cubeli. Ii struck her be-
hind the ear and she lived but a few
minutes afterwards. He is convinced
that the boy had the rivet in his pocket
and that he did not pick it up from the
street on the spur of the moment.

from the recorder and city controller
to show that 1t was an emergency APP
preparation was attached. Mr.. Vaughan
promised to have such u certificate
ready when the measure Is called UP on
third reading.
Mr.. Qulnnan was inclined to think
that the purchase of Il stone crusher Is
not an emergency and couldn't be made
one by any certificate. The Supreme
court, he said. has defined an emer-
gency and under this definition nothing
but an unforeseen visitation of nature or
something OF that sort may be classed
as one. He raised this same objection
to the resolution offering n reward for
the apprehension of the Quinn murderer
or murderers.
Mr.. chittenden objected TO the ordi-
nance because 1t provided for what he
declared to be a foolish waste of money.
There Is no stone in or around this city

clared. and he proceeded to expatiate

Mr.. Costello offered Il resolution re-
spectfully requesting all contractors for
city work to employ as many citizens
of this city as possible. because of the
