written by Miss Topham. BY comparing It
with the anonymous letters he was con-
WINGED that Miss Topham was the author Of

showed her several letters, among them two
that had been sent to Charles Stanley CAM

denied 1t.
The letters continued to go through the

SYMPATHY FOR MANAcLED BOY.
Elevated Passengers Threaten Men
Who Have Him in Tow.

NEW YORK. June ia handcuffed boy
ing riot on a southbound 9th avenue ee-
waited train about o'clock yesterday after
noon. A. T. Plummer of SO Broadway saw
the men half drag the boy into the train at
42d street. He noticed that the boys hands
were held together and were covered with a
handkerchief. In the struggle with the men
the handkerchief was displaced and 1t was
seen that the boy was handcuffed.
The steel cut into the boys wrists pretty
severely and apparently caused him great
pain. Mr.. Plummer tried to talk with the
men while the passengers on the train
rushed forward yelling that the boy was
being abducted. Neither the boy nor. the
men could speak English. 1t was with diff
ficulty that the. train crew, prevented the
passengers from fnjuring them. The mo-
torman, blew the whistle for help from
33d street down. Finally Policeman Cb1e-
man boarded the train at 14th street and
placed the men under arrest. -
Through an interpreter the Oldest man
explained that the handcuffed boy was his
hfteen-y ear-old brother. who arrived two
months ago from their home in Belgrade,
Servia They had found the boy to be of
unsound mind and were taking him home
to Servia, as he would not be received in an
American institution. The handouts were
used because the boy was dangerous at
times He showed tickets on La Provence
to prove his story.
Magistrate Breen- in the Jefferson Market
court turned the case over to the immigra-
ton authorities for Investigation.

EARLY DAY INVESTMENTS
Portion of Reservation Then Covered

EASTERN BRANCH MARKET
Some Valuations During the Period
From 1920 to 1s3o-owners
in Square S82.

On St Thomas bay, as 1t was known in
colonial days, near where the Washington
navy yard was established about the year
1sOO, some investments were made few
years after the plan Of the city was adopt
ed, but not until after the government
ofhces were moved here and the yard
opened was there actual settlement The
bay was portion of the Eastern branch or
Anacostia river, between the foot of Sd
street and the navy yard, extending to
about l. street, and 1t then covered much
Of the present Enclosure. The original res
ervation for the yard was within the lines
Of It'll to 9th streets south of M street,
but in 1900 squares SS3 and sS4 on the west
were purchased by Commissioners Gusta-
vus Scott and w. Thornton for $4,000 and
added. At that time the squares were al
most entirely covered by the water of St.
Thomas bay.
A small stream from the neighborhood
of eth and G streets made its way into the
bay down 9th street, and marshy were Its
shores, as were also those of the bay
which did service for fifty years or more
and as late as 1850 fish were caught there.
Much calamus was found in the section and
chewing the root was almost universal
among the boys. Though west of It'll street
the development was not rapid, the Eastern
branch market was established as early
as 1ooo Oh RESERVATIONS 10 ana 10. Thei'e
was south of X street, between what was
known as Market alley and 4th street and
from south Of the market to.the river,
short canal. The market house was of
brick piers supporting a substantial shed,
and though not of large dimensions was
regarded as a fine one, especially in ante
belIum days. In addition to the resident
butchers and trade people there came from
across the branch the gardeners and truck
ers. 1t Is said that in no market was there
ever more good feeling shown between deal
er and customer. Indeed. 1t was not only
the place for business, but a -tri-weekly
said that what with the gossip heard here
and Information posted on the flag staff
of the yard, the people desired little else
In the way of news.

all rights enjoyed by Chinese merchant
It was necessary to abandon the stars and

A GOOD THING TO TRY.

Rolling mill men and shop men who

the local building, savings and loan
association should do so without delay,
If they do not find 1t the best place for
the deposit of small monthly savings,
then The Republican has no the slight

Instead of paying rent, the proper
thing to do Is to build a nice cottage
and pay for it through the association
1t will take but a little more than rent
to build a comfortable home. And
what n great joy and satisfaction there
is in owning the place in which you
live.
There is no happiness more blissful
or more lasting than the happiness oil

higher and 1t behooves the w~orkingman
who desires comfort and permanence
in his residence to get a few shares of
stock in the building association and
construct his own home,

1t appears that the remuneration of

quest that he permit his name to be
presented to the legislature as the
democratic candidate for the United
States senate In declining the prof
fered honor Mr.. Hays gave some very
cogent reasons for his change of politi-
cal faith. In a letter to Hon. ]. F.
Kinney of Thermopolis Mr.. Hays, refer

says:
