HOMELESS WAIF
JAILED 28 DAYS
Case of Boy Arrested for Sleeping
in Box Car Neglected for
Nearly Month
POLICE MATRoN FREES YOUTH
Lad Returns to the Prison After
FruitIesS EndeavorS to
Find Employment
POLICE MATRoN FREES YOUTH

A curly-headed black-eyed boy
homeless little waif from the coal
mines of Colorado 16 years old, was
released from the county jail yester-
day after twenty-eight days in a
barred cell. Nearly a month ago
policeman from the East Side station
found him sleeping in a box car in
the Southern Pacific yards near River
station, called the patrol wagon,
booked him at the police station. and
turned him over to the probation de-
partment. The probation department
sent him to the county jail to await
an investigation of his case.
In the tangle Of red tape the little
fellow was lost track Of by the pro-
bation officers until yesterday. Boys
came and went in the juvenile ward,
but little Joe Santerella remained un-
til a sharp-eyed probation matron no
ticed him behind the grim bars OF ms
cell. He told her his story. she
brought it to the attention of Capt.
Dodge, chief probation officer, and his
release was obtained.
Kind hearted jailers gave him
mans coat in place of his torn one
and money TO buy his next meal he
thanked them profusely, gripped
tattered little cap which had seen
much wear more firmly in his hands,
and with head held high stepped light
ly from the Jail. Hardly had the steel
trimmed door changed behind him than
he faltered and turned back to take
a last look at the jail.
Gee. this is the only place I can
call home in Los Angeles" he said to
the turnkey.
Go along, kid" said the jailer kind
Iy, "this amt no home for youngsters,
and take my word for it"
FAILS TO GET WORK
The boy walked briskly down the
street, turned the corner, and, per-
picked, sat down on the curbstone to
ponder over his new situation.
Move on, kid" commanded a harsh
voice. He looked up and saw a po-
liceman. With the memory of his eX-
uerience with these uniformed men
or the night he slept in a box car
vividly in his mind, little Joe scam
pered away without any argument.
He was determined not to offend the
majesty of the law again. He kept
moving all day. He entered many
stores and applied for job, but when,
in answer to their questions he told
them he had just left the jail, they
sent him away.
Late in the afternoon the boy re-
turned to the county jail ana tlnldIy
asked for admission.
II don't want to get pinched by the
city cops" he told the jailer. I'D
rather come back here until 1 can find
work"
The kind hearted man brought at
tention to his plight to others. He
was taken before Judge Wilbur who
sent him down to the Lark Ellen
Newsboys' home" at Eleventh and
Main streets, where he passed last
night, and will start out in the morn |
ing to "hunt job" Under the shell |
tering roof of the little home kept by |
kind hearted women he will at least |
have enough to eat and at night |
tucked away in his cozy cot, will be
in no danger of being "pinched by |
the cops" as a "vag' and lost later |
in a legal tangle of red tape that
holds many unfortunates in its grip |
today.

STRANGE MEETING OF TWO
CRAFT GIVES NEW CLEW

OAKLAND, oct. IA new clew was
added to the mystery surrounding the
sailing of the gasoline schooner Kate
from San Francisco September "a with
the locating of the tug Northern Light
in Oakland harbor, which is stated by
Capt. E. J. Emrick to have met the
Kate about II o'clock Saturday morn
ing, September "a, in Drake bay, At
this time a man who gave his name
as Bisbee was put aboard from the
Northern Light, after which the
schooner sailed from the bay, conflict
ing stories being given Capt. Emrick
as to her destination, one of them
being that she was bound for San
Pedro.
1t seems that on September II a
Capt. Osterhaus approached Capt.
Emrick and told him that he had a
couple of sporty friends who had come
up on the Kate from San Pedro and
that they desired to hire a launch or
tug for a short time to take them up
the coast on a pleasure trip, as they
did not want to remain in San Fran
cisco for. the reason that 1t would
cost them too much.
September Is Capt. Emrick crossed
to the Union Oil company's dock,
where the Kate was lying, and took
Bisbee aboard, the other man saying
the Kate. Emrick was assured that
he would receive the same price for
one as for two, and taking Capt. Os-
terhaus as pilot they left for Point
Reyes at 10 o'clock.
HAD PLENTY MONEY
According to Emrick, the man ex-
plained that he simply wanted to go
on pleasure, though subsequently it
turned out that very little recreation
was enjoyed. On Saturday morning,
September "a, the Kate made its APP
pearance in Drake bay and the mys-
terious Bisbee was put aboard from
the Northern Light. Capt. Emrick
states that his employer had plenty OF
money in greenbacks and that he PAID
him literally, adding that while the
affair looked like a queer pleasure trip
to him, he did not say anything, as
he was simply being hired He de-
MED, however, that there had been
any transfer Of goods from the North
ern Light to the Kate except two
empty distillate drums, which he re-
turned to Oakland for Capt. swan OF
the Kate. He stated that the schooner
was heavily loaded with fuel, appar-
emily for a long voyage.
The Northern Light renamed IN
Drake bay until Sunday morning, sep
tember 25, when it returned to TINS
city. Why the Kate made the call IN
stead of waiting in San Francisco bay
for the return of the pleasure seeker
or why the mysterious Bisbee did not
make the three-hour run in the North
ern Light to meet the Kate here, was
not explained to Capt. Emrick, ac-
cording to his statement this morning

Outing Of Richmond Loco
| motive Employees.
TWO EXCURSION TRAINS
Fifth Annual Visit Of Men and Fami-
lice Proves Most Enjoyable Of Al
and Not Single Accident u Re-
ported In Big Crowd.

Two thousand employees Of the Rich
mond Locomotive Works spent yes
terday at Buckroe Beach. the-occasion
being the annual excursion OF the en-
ployes of that big institution TO the
Peninsula's popular resort.
The Richmonders came down in two
excursion trains over the Chesapeake
& Ohio Railway and the run from the
capital city to the beach proved one
of pleasure to the excursionists. me
day was an ideal one for an outing
and the visitors found the soundest
sort of amusement and pleasure
around the beach. Bathing, fishing
and riding. the figure eight made up
some Of the diversions. but TO many OF
the visitors the program of athletic
events. arranged by the committee in
charge of the excursions, proved the
feature OF the day. The events start
cd at II o'clock and lasted until after
s O'Clock. Many Of the excursionists
took in the various points OF interest
around the peninsula, including visits
to Hampton. Phoebus, Old Point and
Newport News.
IL was the fifth year that the en-
|ployes of the big branch OF the Ameri-
can Locomotive Works. in Richmond,
had selected Buckroe Beach for their
annual outing, and judging from the
general expressions of the excursion
lists last night next year viii again
see the visitors her.
The two trains carrying the excur-
sionists returned TO the capital city,
one at 8 and the other at $3.50 O'Clock
last night, carrying back a jolly, but
tired lot of excursionists.
So far as could be learned among
the visitors and around the beach not
an accident occurred during the day
and the general opinion was that the
fifth annual excursion had proved by
far the most enjoyable outing the en-
ployes, their wives and children had
ever spent.
l. The visitors this year found num-
Der Of attractions at the resort, which
were not there last season, and this
feature seemed to appeal to the ex-
cursionists. The figure eight. the new
! bath house and in fact every new al
traction received big share of pat
ronage from the visitors.

WANT DAMAGES
FROM RAILROAD
JOHN SkIPTON ASKS $5O4 IN Pc
TITiON FILED AGAINST THE
ROCK ISLAND.

Damage in the sum Of 1904 is sought
from the c., r. /. & P. railway COM
pany by John Skipton, horse buyer,
in petition filed in the Office of the
clerk of the district court. The petition
recites that Skipton had an oral
agreement with the agent for the de-
PENDANT company at Keota to ship u
car of horses and mules from Keota
to Ottumwa for sale at the horse mar
ket in this city. 1t is alleged that the
agreement was to ship the car from
Keota Thursday morning, February
"a, at about a. H., for delivery at OF
tumwa the same afternoon. The car
contained twelve horses and two mules
which according to the petition did
not arrive in Ottumwa until the fol-
lowing day after being shipped, and
too late for the sale. One of the mules
is alleged to have been kicked SO as
to damage it's value for sale and the
entire cargo, it is claimed, was on the
road for % hours without feed, water
or rest, which reduced their value and
damaged the owner in the sum of
1904.
