After a flight to Canada and his

Detective Richard A. Peltier at So
Madison street, New York, Saturday
night. He was standing at the bar
in saloon at the time and at first
was not recognized by the detective.
He recognized Peltier, however, and
his actions in his effort to sneak
away aroused suspicion and Peltier
then saw it was his man disguised
with a clean shaven face. Rapino is
now in the Tombs prison in New
York, where he will be held until
December 27 to await extfadition to
this state.

RAN OVER LITTLE BOY
Arthur Wilson Knocked Down by
Horses as He Crossed Market ST.
and Died. in the City Hospital.
WHEELS WHEELS PASSED OVER BREAST

A shadow was cast over the Yule-
tide happiness of the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Alexander T. Wilson, Of
2S3 Market street, when their only
son, Arthur, nine years old, was
by a two-horse dray belonging to the
Henderson transfer, of 80 High
street. The accident happened IN
Market street near Mcclellan, about
3 80 Saturday afternoon. The boy
dledd~fn the city hospital at $50
. clock. Though both lungs had
been passed over by the left wheels
Of the heavy wagon, and his fore
head had been deeply gashed. max
Ing an opening an inch and one
half wide, the little boy remained
conscious until his death. He was
attended at the hospital by DR.. N. 8.
Meinzer.
Arthur, accompanied by two COM
panions, Douglas Fraser, son OF
Dauglos c.. Fraser, OF 226
First street, and Claude Sofield, Of
213 Market street, were walking up
Market street from Madison avenue,
and after reaching Mcclellan street
attempted to cross Market. An au-
tomobile rushed past, the boys care
fully avoiding it. After the machine
had gone Arthur was the first to con-
tinue crossing the street. He was a
little ahead of the other two. He
saw a two-horse wagon going east
on Market, few yards away, but
Z mes w. Henderson, the driver and
owner of the vehicle, turned the
horses heads In toward First street.
and the young lad thought it was
going down that thoroughfare. Sud
denly Mr.. Henderson swung the
horses back into the direction they
were first going down Market, re-
membering package which he had
to deliver at III Madison avenue.
Having continued to cross Market
street, after being satisfied that the
wagon was turning into First, Ar

horse ON the left side and knocked
to the pavement, after which his
forehead was hit by hoof of the
animal, and two wheels of the vehi-
Gle had passed over his chest before
Mr.. Henderson, who had not seen
the boy, realized what had happened.
The horses became frightened af-
ter one had struck the boy, and their
prancing made him look around to
see what was the matter. He then
saw the PROSTATE body of the lad.
Stopping the animals as soon as pos
sible. he with Louis Johnson, help

After the accident the little fell
low had enough vitality to jump up
from the pavement and gain the left
sidewalk, where he fell In heap,
too weak to stand. Mr.. Henderson
and Mr.. johnson picked up the suf-
fering form and, tenderly as possi-
BILE, carried 1t to the wagon in which
one supporting his head and sholders
and the other driving, they removed
the lad around to DR.. Meinzer's Of
Ace, 2S4 Madison avenue. Finding
the doctor at the city hospital, they
accepted the assistance OF Harold
BRIGGS, Of SO Market street, and his
companion, who were nearby in an
automobile, who, with one on the
rear seat of the machine attending
the boy, and the other at the wheel,
rushed the injured child to the hos

him.
Mr. BRIGGS then drove his machine
