UP AGAINST THE REAL THING
Southern Pacific Collides with the
Small Boy, and Il Out in One
Round.

omau hoy, and II Out IN n
Round.
The Southern Pacific officials have
ordered the small boys who have been
peddling fruit, popcorn and other
eatables TO passengers on the trains
for some time past, that they keep
on the eompany's grounds, and to-
day the "kids' were conspicuous by
their absence.
II seems that as long as the boys
kept out Of the crowds at the depot and
sold their wares TO the passengers in
the sleepers there was no kick coming
but they had begun to peddle among
the crowds and often were in the way
Of the trainmen. The company some
time ago ordered the boys in Albany
TO cease peddling on the depot grounds,
but they disregarded the order and 90
or 30 Of them are there with fruit. etc,
at every train.-Eugene Guard
And just here is where the Southern
Pacific Is making a mistake, It tried
the same thing at Albany, where a few
boys were selling fruit and incidental
ly booming the town, and as soon as
the "tads" found out the company OBJ
jeeted to their peddling every kid in
Albany and vicinity suddenly acquired
an overwhelming desire to peddle fruit
at the depot. The Southern Pacific, OF

escape, and their plans had been made
for several weeks. Ten OF them, how
ever, lost their nerve when the time
came, and refused to run. Potter says
that the crowd stayed together until
about 10 O'Clock yesterday morning,
when Fitzpatrick left them, and was
soon after caught. Later in the day,
when they were being closely pursued
by the officers, they divided into two
parties Of five each. One Of these made
its way 10 Mimic Island, where two Of
the boys were taken. Although they
were sure that three more Of the fugi-
tives we're on the island, the officers
were unable TO locate them on account
Of the density Of the underbrush.
Officers are stin securing the eoun-
try in every direction, and will prob
ably have returned most Of the boys
in a few days. Two Of the boys, Peel
and Bonner, wore Oregon boots when
they made their escape, but Potter says
that they succeeded in getting rid Of
these about 2 o'clock yesterday morn
ing. II seems they had secured a saw
for this purpose before they left the
school.
The list Of those who are still at
large Is as follows; Bonner, Hutehin-
son, Murray, Peel, Thomas, Raviciech,
Jacks and Simmons.
