lie Used a Hand Ak.

For some weeks past, Rich
ard Johnson. Sam Demaree,
Rafe Leake and j. F.. Smith
have noticed that some one
was backing their shade trees
in front of their residences.
Last Wednesday they discover
ed that their trees had been
freshly cut and some of them
seriously injured, so they de-
cided to find out who was the
guilty party and, iif possible,
stop his nefarious work before
he killed their trees Circum-
stances indicated that Cecil
Clark, a Is year old negro boy,
was the culprit, but be posi-
lively denied it to Marshal
Stephens.
The injured parties obtained
positive evidence against Clark
who had been seen hacking the
trees with a hand ak. as he
passed along the sidewalk, so
they took him before Assistant
Prosecuting Attorney Meri-
wether, Thursday morning
where he pleaded guilty to the
offense. Then an unusual thing
occurred. Those whose prop
erty had been damaged by this
thoughtless boy and who should
have prosecuted him became
his defenders and asked for
leniency IN his behalf.
]. F. Smith acted as spokes.
man for all aud said he had
known the boys father, Dan
Clark, who was honored and
respected by white and black;
that the boys mother is a hard
working, industrious woman
trying to make an honest living
for herself and children. and
that this poor old mother had
promised that her boy would
not do such a thing again if
allowed to escape punishment
this tine.
The cutting of the trees was
not maliciously but was the
act of a thoughtless boy; that
the great State of Missouri
could stand the loss if the own
ers of the trees could.
Therefore he recommended
that Justice be tempered with
mercy and that the boy be re-
leased on parole, pending his
good behavior, subject to ar
rest at any time he violates it.
Mr.. Smith then read the section
of the law which had been vio-
lated by Clark and the penalty
for such violation which is not
to exceed one year in Jail or
$500 tiue or both such fine and
Imprisonment. Judge Meri,
wether then tried to impress
upon the boy the necess ity of
refraining from future wrong
doing and dismissed him on pa.
role as a above requested.
