Henry Hayes. a colored boy who has
been in this world only six and half
years. has developed an abnormal crav-

has on several recent occasions left his
home at 1920 South Tenth street TO seek
the company of redskins or the men who
wear blue clothes and carry clubs. Hayes
is now being detained at the city jail
pending some disposition of his case.
The boy was found Tuesday night sleep

crowd of Indians in the city as witnesses

two weeks the boy came to the police sta
ton alone and cried when taken away.
