PLAYMATES STRUNG HIM UP.
Boys Playing Cops and Thieves" Resort
to Serious Punishment.

Cops and thieves is favorite game
among the boys in Union Hill, N. j., and
when six-year-old Johnny LANCER Of i29
New York avenue agreed to take part in
yesterday he supposed that his chums
would play as they usually do. He started
out as thief" and when he was caught
after long chase he supposed that the gang
would dismiss him with the accustomed
term Of imaginary imprisonment.
Instead, the gang tried Johnny, sentenced
him to be hanged and proceeded to carry
out the sentence with avidity Some one
got an old clothesline, and slipknot moose
was made and put around his neck. The
rope was then thrown over the bough OF
tree near the boys home and the gang be-
gan to pull on it.
Johnny doesn't remember just who had
hold of the rope. but his recollection Of
what followed is very vivid. He was drawn
clear up to the bough Of the tree until his
head scraped on the bark. What hap
pened after that he doesn't remember.
Il tainted away" he said last night, -and
woke up on the ground Then ran home.
I suppose the gang got frightened and
ran away when they saw me fall"
Johnny's family notified the police of
the occurrence, but the gang said they
knew nothing about it, The extreme
youth of the boys, the police said, was
the only thing that prevented arrests being
made. Johnny had to be treated by a
doctor. His neck is badly swollen. but

unfair and believe it should not be continued
