day MIR. Boord flooded Irwin with
hand bills reading as follows:

will sell at public auction his two
children as hereinafter described:
"One boy. z years old, fair COM
plexion, weighs As poulhds. Strong of
body and mind. Has never been to
school, but will make competent
newsboy and be able to earn good
support to buyer In less than eight
years.
"One girl, aged 10 years. dark COM
,plexion, weighs SO pounds. Has had
four years schooling. Was youngest

Terms and conditions of sale and rea-
sons for selling made known before

big sensation In the town. Mr.. Boord
has been working among tho striking

posed that the bills we're only clever

belonged to some poor strikers fam
fly. There were over 1000 people at

Boord appeared, y accompanied by a
nice clean looking boy and girl and
announced that the auction was ready
to start.
He announced that the children he
was Offering for sale were his own.
And said he was the father of five
children, and was unable to support
them. He could not supply them with
proper food and clothing, and had
taken this way to provide them with
q home and incidentally get something
with which to provide for the remain
ing three.
+ The announcement struck the crowd
dumb. When Mr.. B0ord asked for
bids some Of the prominent. citizens
Of Irwin interiered, and told Mr..
Boord that the sale could not go on.
They told him slavery had been abol-
ished in this country, and that 1t was
