Capt. BOardman was greatly aston
ished this morning, when a small col
cred boy, thinly clad and barefooted,
was driven into his Office by a deputy
United States marshal and an as
sistant. Straps had been so arranged
about the boys shoulders and back
as to give him the appearance of being
harnessed. Two long pieces of leath-
er were used as reins, and these were
in the hands of one of the two men.
What is all this?' was the ques-
tion asked by Capt Boardman, when
: the trio entered his Office why has
this boy no shoes on?"
Hes a prisoner from North Caro-
lima" said one Of the men, land we
are on cur way to the reformatory
with him. VIII you care for him un-
til this afternoon when we get ready
to take him to the train?''
Certainly we will" was the cap
tainS response, but what about get
ing shoes for the boy?"
I'm not authorized by the marshal
to buy him Shoes" said the deputy.
Capt. Boardman heard the boys
story of suffering from the cold be-
cause of the absence of foot covering
and sent out and got him shoes. The
boy gave his name as Ped Hines and
said he did not know how cid he
was.
81 am one year older than twelve"
was what he said, when questioned
in court concerning his age. He had
been arrested at Gibson station, Scot
land county, n. c., for stealing
letter containing SO. His sentence
was four years in the Cheltenham re-
formatory at CheltenhamI Prince
Georges county, Md. Deputy Mar
shall Dockery, who had charge of him,
said he left North Carolina in such a
hurry that he did not have time to
think of shoes, and there was nothing
said to him by the marshal about buy
ing them. The sight of the boy being
taken through the streets barefooted
and shivering from the effects of the
weather because of the lack of cloth
ing attracted attention, and some of
those who with essed the sight sug-
gested that the Humane Society might
do we'll to take hand in the matter.
No such action was taken, however,
and the boy will be conveyed to the
reformatory this afternoon. The boy
said he was induced by another boy
to steal the letter.-Evening Star.
