adjusted from one to 200 seconds. The

Whales in Georgetown last Thursday night.
1t is stated. was seen on the streets In
Georgetown yesterday. He was suffering
from scalp wound, the police were told,
and he said It was inflicted with bottle
that was thrown by some person. but he
did not mention the name OF the indi-
vidual. Robert Whales was not dead at
that time. and # was thought by friends
of the people in question, on Olive avenue,
that there was possibility of his recovery.
SO they were not very greatly concerned in
the case. When they learned yesterday
afternoon of the death of Whales, however.
they became more deeply interested. and
some friends OF Thomas were anxious to
also taken in the case by the police, who
offered reward of $50 for information
leading to the arrest of Thomas. In the
printed circulars sent out by the police de-
partment Thomas Is described being
about twenty-four years of age and having
light brown skin. 1t Is stated that he
sometimes wears small mustache, and
that he presented a shabby appearance
when he left this city.

been drinking, it is added, and they showed.
the effects of liquor when they returned to
the home of Whales about 1890 o'clock at
night. Being refused admittance the men
made loud complaint and trouble ensued.
After being shot Whales walked into his
house and had his wife send for the police

SOUGHT THE WooLLY WEST.
Two Lads Venture Forth in Quest of
Game and Fame


Armed with a loaded revolver, rifle,
Ratchet, fishing outfit and other parapher-
MALTA that is needed on a fishing and gun
ming expedition, Charles M Bryant, four
teen years of age, left his home at Berwyn,
Nd, and started toward Virginia. He had
read that such things have been done by
heroes and had reached the conclusion
that he could follow the example thus set
and enjoy life. If he finally reached the
Wild and woolly west with his outfit he
thought he could stake off claim and per-
haps follow In the footsteps of "Scotty,'
the millionaire representative Of Death val
ley mines.
Charlie left home in the morning and
travelled during the daytime. Therefore,
Police Sergeant Charles Bremerman of the
tenth precinct happened to meet him be-
fore he had covered many miles, With the
prospective hero was Andrew Tobin, thir-
teen years of age, the son of neighbor of
Milville Bryant, father OF the boy first men,
toned
Both boys were deprived of their liberty
and taken to the police station, the former
for carrying concealed weapons and the lat
ter as fugitive from his parents. Just
about the time the boys were placed under
arrest the father Of the Bryant boy reached
police headquarters and made a request
that search be made for his son.
I can't tell you how he is dressed said
the father, 'for he carried away two suits
of clothes, hat and cap. I do know
that he packed up an outfit and said to
some of his friends that he was going on
a cunning and fishing expedition"
Because Of the serious charge that was
preferred against the boy the police would
not release him, and after being stripped of
his weapons and other articles he was sent
to the house of detention. Tomorrow he
will appear In Juvenile Court and receive a
few words of advice. In all probability he
will be turned over to his father to be taken
home. The Tobin boy was claimed by his
parents yesterday.
