Several large copper mines are in

BOY WAIF IS DEAD,
HIS PAST A SECRET

Surrounded by strangers and mis- mind
so blunted by disease that he could not
speak the name of his parents, Tony
Lippert died at the city hospital last
night and today his body lies unclaimed
at the county morgue.
The boy was first known to the hos
pital attendants as August i Mueller.
He gave this name when he was taken
from an empty box car in the Mime
apolis & St. Louis railroad yards June 6.
When found he had gone without food
for nearly week and his mind was
already deranged by high fever. He
was hurried to the central police sta
tion where he was given food but a
physician said he was suffering from
typhoid fever and he was taken to the
city hospital.
There the boy seemed reluctant tc
give his true name and after short
time he became unconscious. The physi
clans and nurses took special inter
est in him. but their battle against
death was futile.
The boy was II years old and tolt
the police that he was an orphan. HI
had run away from the family will
whom he lived in the southern part O,
the state and was on his way to Sc,
his brother in Los Angeles. Altho tn,

SANE FOURTH IS
DUTY OF POLICE.
DoYLE's MEN ORDERED TO KEEP
CELEBRATIONS WITHIN BOUNDS.
Law Prohibits Many Practices Of the
Past Which It Is Up to the Coppers
Chief to Abolishsor Prevent Prompt
Arrests Are Expected.

Instructions have been given to the
police authorities to keep celebrations
Of the Fourth of July within reasona-
BILE bounds. Already the youngsters
are getting busy, and the police are
after them day and night.
It is expected that the usual procla-
nation will be issued, calling attention
to the. dangers from fireworks and call
ing on citizens to aid in the suppress
sion of illegal practices.
M The law prohibits the firing of guns,
reEolvers, cannon and cannon crackers.
It further provides that no fireworks
shall be touched off in alleys or in
any other place where a fire might be
started on account Of inhammable, ma
terial being near by. 1t also prohibits
the placing of torpedoes and cartridges
on car tracks to be exploded by pass
Ing cars. -,
The police are directed to make
prompt arrests in all cases Of violations
Of any Of the above provisions.
Police Superintendent Doyle is much
concerned over the reckless manner of
celebrating the Fourth, and says he
will make every effort to confine the
use of fireworks within the bounds Of
ordinary sanity.
