The thieves who broke the WINDOW
of the Pratt hardware store Thursday
night and stole two rifles and some
cartridges were captured this morn
ing and proved to be three little boys,
probably ten and twelve years old. One
was a white boy named Ernest Barrett
and the colored children were named
Leval. They spent yesterda out
hunting and beasted that they had
lately bought some new guns and were
going hunting again today. This
boasting was their undoing, for sus-
picion Immediately pointed to them as
the guilty parties, and this morning
they were arrested and taken over to
the police station in the patrol. The
boys really had no intention of break
ing into the store to secure the de-
sired guns. They had procured q.
rusty key and expected to unlock the
store door. Thinking that the avenue
door was too public they had even
gone to the work of climbing a six
foot wire fence which encloses the
rear lot and tried to unlock the back
door. The key failed to work so the
boys then threw the brickbat through
the window.
