LITTLE eEeeARs IN THE TOLLS

This morning Justice Lyles heard
the case against Willie Goff, Rex
Hunt and man by the name of c. NJ.
Myers. II seems the man used the
boys to beg money and food for him.
They were soliciting aims in the west
ern part of town last evening and
made such piteous plea about being
away from home and a sick mother
and desired 10 return TO her, that they
gained their point. but the party who
assisted them followed the boys and
a short distance from the house they
came to the man who was hid in the
bushes and received the money at the
hands of the boys.
In the hearing of the case the boys
refused TO tell what they had
been doing for the man. The court
held Willie Golf for the reform school
and Rex Hunt, who is from Denver
was approached by District Attorney
Davis. who offered to pay his way
home if he would go TO his parents
We regret to say that Willie Cor had
become an incorrigible and his mother
who said she could do nothing with
him, wanted him sent to the reform
school,
