|NHUMAN TREATMENT
A Story of Almost Incredible
Cruelty to a Child Comes from
Rapid City.

Rapid City, Aug. 1o.-kept in
a cage with pair af South
American grave robbers,' OF
armadillos, which Were being
shown with a carnival, and bit
ten and scratched until he moan
ed when anyone touched him, is
the horrible experience of a five
year-ol>i boy named Jenree, ac-
cordlng to the statement of
State S Attorney Denu, who caus-
ed the arrest af the child s fost-
CT parents at the instigahon of
its real mother who is here from
Omaha.
The petition of the state S at
torney sets forth a story of
treatment almost incredibly in
human in which the child was the
victim of James j. Johnston and
his wife, who have been sought
through three states for months
past by the distracted mother,
who had learned of the plight of
her child.
When the Jenree child was
but eighteen months old, his
father, Charles w. Jenree, then
in Nebraska, deserted him after
having his mother placed in tenn
pOrarv confinement in am insane
asylum in Lincoln. The baby
was then placed in St. James orp
manage in Omaha. Later the
Johnstons applied for the child
and Were given it on probation,
although the records fail to show
that it was ever adopted. They
have had it two years and during
this time, according to the state s
attorney they have been travelling
with carnival companies, exhibit
ing the "grave robbers Some
months ago the real mother to
the boy. hearing through friends
in Minnesota of the alleged
cruelties practiced upon the child
started an investigation to trace
the,n, The Johnstons are alleged
tc ~ jealonsly guarded the
boy, never letting him out of
their sight, and, whom the hunt
became too keen, they quit the
company and with the boy re-
turned to Farmingdale, just east
of here, where they We're arrest

Tile mother of the child is
now Mrs. Henry N. Weakley in
Omaha. She came here when
she learned the couple We're at
Farmingdale and brought with
her letters from friends in
Spring Valley, MINI, Stewart
vile. Dodge Center and Other
points where the Johnstons had
been with the carnival. These lot
ters fully set forth the horri-
bile conditions to which the child
was subjected and when found
it's body was covered with bites
scratches, bruises and other evi-
derces of miStreatment.
The Johnstons are well-known
in this section and do not bear
a favorable reputation, Johnston
having been convicted Of various
crimes. They are alleged to
have exhibited the child with TIL

tisment of "child eaten alive"

The National Capitol has learn.
ed with perfect equanimity that
the Standard Oil reorganization
is being effected and that the de-
cision Of the supreme court is be-
ing strictly adhered to. Abuse
Of the Standard Oil has been go
ing out of style and other great
"trusts'' are being compelled to
bear the burden of political on
slaughts. The explanation may
all be traced to the fact that for
several years the Standard Oil
Company has been taking the
public into its confidence, with
the result that when the reor-
ganization decreed by the sur
preme court has been announced
from the general offices in New
York, there is no one who ques-
tons the absolute honesty and
truthfulness of the new plans out
lined by the officials of the

quality to be proud of. Now it is
TO be canned and distributed to

FIXING NORTH SIDE
ROAD
A Number of Sweet Men and
Teams Are Improving
Highway

For get up and push, go TO the
Sweet business men and iarm-
ers, thou sluggard, and the example
they are setting in getting busy
without delay and going to work
on the North Side road is an eX-
ample worthy OF emulation by big
ger towns Our neighboIs up
tIhe river have a way of accomplish
ing results and talking afterwards.
Both men and teams from
Sweet and surrounding country have
been briskly engaged this week
in repairing the road on the north
side Of the river without waiting
for the commissioners OF this county
or Boise county to act. They are
doing good work and the road is
already passable.
However, extensive improvements
are necessary and the aid of the
lwo county boards of commission
ers is needed to carry on the work
of making this permanent and
well-kept roadway. This road,
built by the Sate, has never been
formally taken over by either
boards OF commissioners. But ac-
cording to the statutes governing
state roads, it became couGy
upon completion, and should never
have been neglected since it was
built four years ago. Through the
efforts of Commissioner Eckro It,
Boise county is giving the matter
its consideration and will un-I
make an appropriation to
put the road in good condition.
The county commissioners of Can
yon county should lose no time in
cooperating with their colleagues
in our neighboring county and
take care of the Canyon county
end.
Joe Jacques, who was in town
Friday, says the Sweet people are
in harmony with
he plans for the improvement
If this highway 1t is proposed
o change the route so as to fol-
ow along Squaw creek and across
hat stream on the bridge at
Sweet. This will shorten the pres
mt road to Sweet two miles and
he grades will be light.
