EPIDEMIC OF "B0Y BURGLARS"

During the past few weeks Paris
people have been sufferers in finan-
cial sense from the depredatiOns
committed by a number of boy
thieves, both white and black,
whose ages ranged from ten to fif-
teen years. Very recently the rooms
of County Attorney d. D.. Cline,
Charles Kenney and Harry Jones, at
the residence of Mrs. Mary Ireland
Davis, on Duncan avenue, were en-
stolen.
A few days after the robbery had
been reported to the authorities
Sheriff w. G.. McClintock arrested
young white boy, who had been re-
ported as having in his possession a
revolver stolen from the trunk in
the room occupied by Harry Jones.
and was trying to dispose Of it. The
boy was placed in Jail, and the same
afternoon, after Jailer ThOs. Taul
had admitted a number of visitors,
the boy managed to squeeze through
the bars at the door leading into
the Jail proper and made his escape.
Friday afternoon two negro boys,
neither of whom is over twelve years
old, held up young white boy on
Cypress street, relieving him Of d
sum of money. They were found ir
bed at their homes by Patrolman
Robt. Lusk, to whom they confessed
their participation in the hold-up.
They were placed in the Paris jail.
Scarcely a day passes but some
case of petit larceny and sneak
thievery presumably the work of
youthful criminals. is reported to
the authorities The officials are at
loss as to the proper way to deal
with these youthful criminals, ow-
ing to their tender ages, as many
are said to be too young even to be
sent to the State Reform School
But something must be done to curb
their tendencies before they develop
into full-fedged criminals, destined
for the State Reformatory.

PATRONS STILL COMPLAIN

THE NEWS hears of numerous
complaints being made by patrons
Of the Grand Opera House who have
lower floor seats in regard to passing
of persons in the balcony in front
of the projecting machine. Their
view is INSTRUCTED while the per-
sons are looking for seats in he
balcony They contend there is a
remedy and that it should be appli-
ed. Can't Something be done to do
away with this disagreeable feature
Various suggestions have been made
on the outside, but THE NEWS
has put the matter squarely up to
Manager Sprake and President Eli
oft in hopes that they will find j
happy solution of the matter. We
can personally testify to the fact
that it is something that interferes
with the pleasure of those on the
lower floor, when the view of the
picture is obscured for minutes at a
time while the people are hunting
seats.

more.f During the past eleven days
about three inches of rain have fall
en- in this vicinity, which lacks but
little of being the normal rainfall
