siding al 1I16 B street southeast, and Wal
ter kendrick two years younger. whose pa
rents reside at 1417 A street, attracted the

while making purchases. 1t turned out that
the Kendrick boy was a truant from school,
and that his companion who had recently
been employed in a railroad office. had
saved So from his earnings. and was willing
to spend the cash. The elder of the two
boys purchased belt and holster, and then
he bought box of cartridges.
Il have pistol at home" he explained
land l want a box of cartridges to fit it,
Nothing was thought of these purchases,
but when a request made for a long
knife the dealer thought it was time to call
a halt. Precinct Detective Mullen happened
to pass about that time, and he took the
boys to police headquarters. 1t was his
idea that the boys had the wild west"
fever, and that they wanted to go forth to
look for big game.
Il wanted the outfit to use on the Eastern
branch when ] go fishing this summer"
Edwards explained "All the people who go
fishing have big knives, and it's lots of fun
to shoot at frogs along the edge of the

Mr.. Wilton Lackaye,

Wilton Lackaye will be seen in his own
version of Victor Hugos epoch-making
materpiece. Les Miserables," at the Co
lumbia Theater Monday night. The en-
gagement will last throughout the week.
NJ. Lackaye calls his play THE Law and
the Man." In his work of adaptation, the
actor-playwright has followed With re-
markab BILE fidelity the story as told in Hugo's
work. In many instances and whenever
practical for stage use the dialogue is that
of Hugo himself. The piece is in prologue
and four acts and opens with Famine and
her girl companions and their lovers in a
village near Paris. 1t is here that the poor
Famine is deserted by Felix; and that Won
derful man of iron determination who fol-
lows his course as truly as the compass
points to the magnetic north, Javert, makes
his appearance; also Jean Vatican, which is
the role -dr. Lackaye is portrayng this sea-
son.
