NEGRO LAD STEALS
ANOTHER HORSE
EIGHT-YEAR-0LD BOY MAKES
NOVEL RECORD
THIRD CRIME IN TEN DAYS
Leroy 6rasher, "PickanInny Horse
Thief" Released From Detention
Home at Night, Steals Pony
and Cart Next Morning
THIRD CRIME IN TEN DAYS

Hand in hand with Deputy Constable
Coleman, s-year-old Leroy Brasher.
better known as "the plckanlnny horse
thief" was led into the police station
yesterday under arrest-the third time
within ten days-on the charge Of
stealing a Shetland pony and cart be-
longing to ]. ]. Van Allen Of 1890 Cen
trail evenue. Though released only the
evening before from the detention home
on the solemn promise that he would
never again steal horses, twenty-four
hours had not elapsed before the negro
lad was back on the same charge.
Shortly after o'clock Saturday morn
ing Mrs. II. Brasher, Leroy's mother,
sent him into the yard to get an "arm
o. wood" A few minutes later Mrs.
BraSher called to her son, but there
was no response, and fearing that he
had run away again she notified the
officers. Constable Coleman went to the
Brasher home, 1924 Birch street, to con-
fer with the mother.
Steals Pony and Cart
At the Van Allen blacksmith shop,
Coleman found that the Shetland pony
and cart had again disappeared. A walk
of a few blocks brought Coleman in
sight of the lad driving leisurely down
Central avenue.
Hey, darl'' shouted the big negro
constable. '"You stop' Leroy refined
in his steed and invited Coleman to

the blacksmith shop with Leroy acting
as coachman. After delivering the
stolen property to Van Allen Leroy
said Say, Misser Coleman, All is
thinlxin' dat we had better visit de
'tention home,' and without another
word he placed his hand in the palm
of the big officer and led the way.
Steals Repeatedly
Leroy first came into the notice of
the police August 2, when he stole the
same Shetland pony from Van Allen.
Constable Coleman was asked to re-
cover the property and found Leroy
enjoying drive with another friend
The little negro seemed duly sorry for
the offense and was allowed his free
dom. Instead of returning home as he
had promised the lad slept in an old
shed that night and the next day stole
a valuable horse and runabout, and
attempted to sell it. Again Deputy Con-
stable Coleman arrested the boy. For
this offense young Brasher was sent to
the detention home.
''Ah jes CANT help It," said the little
African when questioned as to his
surprising tendency to steal horses.
The Brashers admit they have four
whittier reformatory.

Nickel Caused Killing.

The killing of a negro by young
ID. L. Curtis near Scutch in the
early part of December was the re-
suit of a quarrel over a nickel.
Curtis bet the negro a nickel that
he could not hold out a certain
weight at arms length. When the
negro failed, he pocketed his own
nickel. This caused a quarrel
which included other members of
each family. finally resulting in the
negro advancing on young Curtis
in a threatening manner. Curtis
fired at the advancing man with a
pistol which he had secured during
the fight killing him almost in
stantly.
Curtis had preliminary trial be-
fore Justices Lum and Nelson and
was released.
