full offenders, but in most instances
they are charged with petit larceny or
some similar offense. 1t is seldom a
youth Of such tender years is made to
spend the night in the barracks, and
especially on such a charge. The boy
was charged with slapping the face OF
a white child and Of being so drunk he

drives an ice wagon. The judge de-
cided that a night in the lookup was

and released the boy with some good
advice.
