themselves were almost frantic in their
efforts to get their story to the world,
some of them resorting to the hopeless
e1pedient of dropping notes overheard
through portfolios. After their sixteen
days of captivity all were anxious to
get ashore and be free to go their
ways.
Although the Appam lay almost
within the shadow of the frowning
guns Of Fortress Monroe, no precaution
had been taken by the government to
prevent any move on the part of the
vessel or the landing of any of the
ships company. Collector Hamilton ac-
cepted the word of Lieut.. BergA that
he would remain at anchor and every
one would be kept aboard until further
instructions came from the United

No new light was thrown today on

CAUGHT
IS L YEAR OLD BOY
Robbed Four Stores Saturday
and Sunday Night---Bike
Gave Him Away

The mystery surrounding a number
of burglaries which have occurred dur
ing the past week in the business dis
trict was cleared up this morning when
Tom Hickman, aged IL years, was ar
rested while attempting to dispose of
some of the stolen goods to A. H.
Moore.
At the police station the boy made
a clean breast of his operations COW
ering the past few days. He persists
that he has worked entirely alone.
On Saturday night he broke into
Steinboch S second hand store, at Com
mercial and Chemeketa streets, taking
a cornet and about $l5 in buffalo
nickels.
The same night he entered Scott S
second hand store on Court street by
way of the skylight, and again last
night, taking two watches and $l.25
in money.
Last night also he entered Stiff s
store at Court and Liberty and took
$6.l5 from the cash register.
At Watt Shipp's last night he took
bicycle. 1t was the effort to dis
pose of parts of this that led to his
apprehension.
Chief of Police Welsh states that the
boy has been concerned in number of
petty thieveries prior to this time, but
that because of his age no action has
been taken against him.
He has been turned over to the

to move was received at the camps at
Imperial Beacn Wednesday noon and
Immediately the boys made feverish

Wednesday and Thursday nights
were spent in the small 'pup tents
and Friday morning at 9;30 the Third
Battalion marched from Imperial Beach
to Palm City where the trains were
held.

they were moving, they would have

were on the move.
The trip home was uneventful in the
main and was marred by but one sad
incident at Siskiyou. At Hornbrook

boys of the whole battalion felt sud

minutes and most of the boys remem-
