mission to Tramp to Gin
cinnati Uncle's Home.

Il just couldn't stay at home no
longer" said Billy Stone, II, of Hart
ford City, Ind. His voice broke and
big tears rolled down his cheeks from
handsome blue eyes which expressive
ly told of the boys fear and abject
misery.
Bill Stone was taken into custody
on North Z street last night, it being
suspected that he was a runaway. He
frankly admitted this to Chief Good
win today.
The youth, shabbily clad in faded
brown suit, had walked all the way

Stone, blacksmith in Walnut Hills,
who would make a home for him.
Fears His Father.
Don't make me go back home-oh,
please don't" the boy pleaded. Il
have no mother. She died three years
ago and my father treats me awful.
He don't work. He just lays around
and drinks and knocks me all over
the house. Let me go to my uncle.
He will take care of me
Billy Stone was four days walking
from Hartford City to Richmond and
during that time had had very little
to eat and no money. He said he had
not been in school for over a year Il
had to work or starve," he remarked
The boy says his uncle does not know
of his intention to come to him but
he knows he will be glad to have him
as he frequently invited him to live
with him.
The police will investigate the boy s
story and If his uncle wants him he
will be sent to Cincinnati.

TO CONFER
ASSESSORS POWER
State Refuses to Give Math-
ews Second Commission
for Office.

When County Assessor Mathews ap-
piled at the office of the secretary Of
state for his second commission to
hold office, he was refused with the
statement that the office is one
created by legislature and is not a
constitutional office.
Mr.. Mathews received his first COM
mission four years ago. He made the
trip to Indianapolis especially for the
second one but he was informed that
such commission is superfluity and
counts for nothing.
The assessor will qualify before the
county clerk and take his oath of
office in Richmond.
