hids Called on Carpet.

The many depredations committed by
kids in and outside of this city during
the past few months, in the wanton
destruction of property and the petty
thleving of small parts of machinery,
brass nozzles and various articles easily
carried off, caused the authorities to
issue warrants for the arrest of a num-
Der of boys the first of the week on the
charge of juvenile delinquency Five
boys, accompanied by their mothers
were taken before County Judge Black
man in Georgetown last Monday, at the
lnstgation of District Attorney Smith
and City Marshal o Rourke.
The court heard witnesses and at the
conclusion of the evidence sentenced
Frank Thorne to the Industrial School
for Boys. Raymond Hauser and James
FIorlne We're released on probation and
the cases agvinst Elmer Lofenberg and
Raymond Hotfard were dismissed.
None of the lads took much interest in
the proceedings and the journey to the
county seat was apparently regarded :
by them as a pleasure trip. The first
instance of any acts involving the des-
truction of property will be the signal
for the authorities to make another
roundup of the lads on their list and
there will be another session of court
in which the culprits will not be dealt
with as lenently as in the present pro
ceedings.
District Attorney Smith states that
dalism, and that if he is unable to ac-
complsh the end by bringing the guilty
youngsters in court, he will swear out
warrants for the arrest of the parents
on the charge of contributing to juven-
lie delinquency.
The boys have been operating in
gangs, some of them have played tru--
ant from school in order to spend the
afternoons in an old barn smok ing ci-
garettes. Some weeks ago some boys
broke into the rifle range west Of the
Jackson mill, where they tore up a
couple of thousand score cards, broke
the windows and targets. On March IT
some kids broke into the opera house
and took every electric light globe they
could reach into the alley and amused
themselves by breaking the globes
against the stone wall. Stealing noz-
zles from sprinkling hoses from the
| lawns was fad with a bunch of boys,
and in order to sell them as old brass
| they mashed them up. Breaking locks
| off of coal sheds and other buildings
was favorite pastime with some OF
| them but it was not very remuneratlve.
Smashing windows by throwing rocks
was the easiest devilment in which they
indulged and this form of amusement
has cost the property owners of the
city a considerable amount. Some
weeks ago a gang of boys stole the
brass fittings from an automobile IN the
Stroehle yards for which they received
but few cents as old brass, while 1t
cost the owner of the machine over
$3.50 to replace the stolen parts. A
gang recently broke into the skating
rink and raised havoc.

Theodore w. Grassey and Geo. Behr
have secured lease on the Sun and
Moon mine west of the Newhouse tun-

lead to good ore shoot with further
development. Both men are experienc-
ed miners and this goes long ways to-
wards assuring results. The drift west
from the tunnel will be continued some
distance as soon as the stope has been
gotten under way.

Work in the Old Town

Manager Geo. kimball of the Old
Town mine, has nearly completed the
0aightening of the Hot Time lateral
from the bottom of the Old Town shaft
to the Newhouse tunnel. Electric
trolley wire has been strung SO that the
Newhouse tunnel motors will, within a
few days, be able to haul trains to the
bottom of the shaft. Just as soon as
the lowering device is installed at the
800. foot station there will be good
tonnage of ore ready for transporta-
ton out through the Newhouse. The
Old Town company is doing but little
work on company account, and has de-
cided to lease most of the ground
already opened up. Fully half of the
output heretofore has been extracted
by leasers, and the new policy will give
ample returns to the stockholders. The
character of the ore in the Old Town is
generally of such good quality that
leasers are only too glad to pay from 30
to 40 per cent. royalty, which leaves to
the company good margin Of profit
after allowing for the operating ex-
penses. The leasing system is coming
into vogue as giving the most satisfac-
tory results in most of the big mines in
the district.

BURIAL
 SERVICES
CHESTER MODlNI LAID TO REST AMIDST SCENES OF GENERAL
 SORROW


 one of the most imposing funerals ever held in the city took place today when Chester Modnfs coffin was fol- lowed to the cemetery by large crowds of his Sorrowing companions and friends
 The body was taken at 10 a. m. to < Joseph's church where solemn re- auiem mass was celebrated by Father Carroll $ J.. and was accompanied by a special choir The church was crowded to the doors with the people of the city and the friends of the dead boy and his family.
 From the church the cortege pro- ceeded to Eagle nall, where the serv- ices of the society were rendered and where a glowing tribute was paid to he memory of Chester by Professor Grimm of the public schools
 In his address the professor said that If all who had ever set out on the last long journey he knew of none better prepared for it than the splendid lad who had departed so young.
 The services were most impressive and surrounded by circumstances which filled those present with deep emotion.
 The boys of the high school acted as pail bearers. and the remainder of the .,,,;I.. ( ,I,, .,t,,,Ig ,,,orcbad behind
 The members of the Y. M. c. A, of which Chester was a member, marched in d body to the church and afterwards followed to the last resting place.
 The Eagles marched also in great numbers, as Mir Modini, senior, is a member of the local lodge, and the gen aral public shared in every possible way the universal regret for the pass ing of one of tine city's most popular youths.
 At the Eagle hall the pupils of the Seventh and Eighth grades chanted Nearer My God to Thee" in manner | that was most touching, and on arrival at the grave it was found that the sides had been covered with white cloth and 1 beautifully decorated with violets by | the girls of the high school. The floral tributes were numerous md lovely and indicative of the feel ings of the people of the community who regret the loss of their young
