The common phrase: "Every one
has a double.' has been proven in
Richmond In the last few days. The
Richmond police several days ago
were asked by the Indianapolis po-
lice to arrest young man of whom a
description was given on the charge
of having stolen a check. A young
fellow who answered the description
given by the Indianapolis police, was
in the city the first of the week and
gave the name of Matthews He for
merly worked in the City Restaurant
here and had worked in Indianapolis
in different restaurants. Yesterday
the local officers were notified that a
boy by the name of Matthews who
had formerly worked in the City
Restaurant and later at indianapolis.

when Everett Black, twelve years old,
stabbed Raymond Lawler, thirteen
years old, three times with a knife.
The boys have been angry at each

trouble arising over the trading of
two tops. They have had a number
of fist fights. The fight on Wednes-
day was the most serious of them
and Black pulled knife and stabbed
Lawler the first time over the right
eye, the second blow took effect in
Lawler's fourth rib on the right side
and the last one was under the right
shoulder blade. This last wound is
thought to be the most serious of the
three as it is feared that blood
poisoning will result from it. No
physician had been called last even
