BOYS KEEP FAITH.
Thirty-two of the Fifty-s7ve, Who Were
Allowed to Leave Training
School Are Back. -

Red Wing.-While DIR. c. O. Merica,
superintendent of the Red, Wing train
ing school for boys, sat in a dentists
chair, his thoughts far from honor
systems and incorrigible boys, fifteen
youngsters, fourteen from st. Paul and
Minneapolis, and one from Duluth,
climbed off a train, marched proudly
through the city streets, out to the
training school, into the office, and,
saluting, reported back for duty" to
J. t. Fulton, assistant superintendent
of the training school.
Last Wednesday evening, DR.. Merica
allowed fifty-five inmates at the
school to leave for their home for
Thanksgiving, exacting from them
only their words of honor they would
return today, or Tuesday. They went
without guards, without officials, and
without any mark to distinguish them
from the boys whom they would meet
away from the school. Dr. Merica
said they would return; others
shrugged their shoulders and doubted.
But DR.. Merica is now vindicated,
and his theory that boys are boys,
and should be treated as such and not
as criminals, was justified
eve certainly enjoyed ourselves, -
declared one of the lads. None OF
us thought of not coming back Didn't
we promise DR.. Merica that we would
return. Well, that's enough. We
amt breaking our words to him.
Of the fifty-fve boys who were per-
mitted to leave the institution last
week, twenty-five have already re-
turned This includes the seventeen
football men, who, with Coach Muir
dauch left Wednesday evening and
played ball on Thanksgiving at Rivel
Falls, Wis.,, and at Hastings, Mimi, on
Friday. The rest of the youngsters,
according to Assistant Superintendent
Fulton, are not expected back until
later.
Some of them were given a longer
leave than Others" he explained. But
we do not anticipate any more trou-
BILE with those who have not returned
than we had with those who have al
ready reported. Dr. Mericas expert
ment has proved an unqualified sue
cess.
Mr.. Fulton said that the majority of
the boys, still away from school, were
in the Twin City.

Many persons do not realize that a
bad stomach will cause insomnia.
Coffee and tea drinking being such
an ancient and respectable form OF
habit, few realize that the drug-caf
feine-contained in coffee and tea, is
one Of the principal causes of dys-

Fort Worth, Texas, Dec. 4.-"Eot
guilty. was the verdict of the jury
in Judge Swayne's court here which
heard the evidence in the case of
John Beal Sneed, who shot and killed
aged Captain A. G. Boyce in the Met
ropolitan hotel here last January.
Sneed shot Captain Boyce to death
on Jan. IS, in Fort Worth, soon after
Sneed had returned from Winnipeg,
Canada, with his wife, with whom AL
G.. Boyce, Jr., son of Captain Boyce,
had eloped.
Sneed claimed self-defense and also
a conspiracy on the part OF the
Boyce to rob him of his wife. Al
Boyce, Jr, was killed by Sneed in
Amarillo, Sept IA last. Sneed will
be tried on this charge in February at
Vernon.
The families involved in the two
tragedies are wealthy. After the
elopement Sneed spent $4,000 in a
chase across the continent to find his
wife. Sneed's first trial on the charge
of killing Captain Boyce resulted in 2
disagreement.
Courtroom Scene Dramatic.
The scene in the courtroom was dra-
matte. John Beal Snead and his two
sobbing children and brother were
there. The aged widow of Captain
Boyce and her two stalwart sons were
there. The courtroom was half-flled
and death-like silence prevailed.
When Foreman Cane handed in the
verdict the audience seemed stunned.
Snead jumped into the air, threw out
his arms, danced around, and grabbed
his daughter Lenora. Two defense at
torneys, Will Mclean and Walter
Scott, were fined $50 for shouting and
throwing their hats in the air. Snead
he ran to telephone and told his wife
that he was free.
81 am so glad" she replied. Cant
we leave here?"
Snead and Wife Reconciied.
Afterwards it was announced that
Snead and his wife, whose elopement
with Al Boyce brought on the killing
Of Boyce and his father, had become
reconciled to her husband. Heretofore
they had been living apart and SHE
had refused to testify in his favor.
The couple left with their children
for Calvert for short visit Late;
they will go to California and may
reside there.
The jury which acquitted Snead vot.
ed unanimously for acquittal on the
first ballot. Foreman j. d. Crane,
when asked why they acquitted Snead,
said:
The best answer is because this
is Texas. In Texas we believe in pro-
lection of home at any cost. We in
Texas believe a man has the right to
safeguard the honor of home, even il
he must kill the person responsible. F"
