YOUNG BOYS MISSING

Two newsboys. Carl Allison and Fred Risingstein, are supposed to have run away from home Friday afternoon, both boys leaving notes for their relatives which stated that they intended to leave. One of their friends by the name of King stated to their relatives that he had seen the boys board a southbound South ern train Friday afternoon at , o'clock. Mrs. Minnie Risingstein, mother of one of the boys, received a note signed by her son, stating that he would be gone about two weeks and asking her not to worry. The other boy mother, Mrs. Mollie Al lison, received a note supposedly from Carl, telling her that he in tended going to Florida.
 Inquiry from railroad officials and the police of the town to which the boys are supposed to have gone elic- tied no informtion concerning them. Their relatives are much alarmed over their departure and ask that any information regarding the boys be forwarded the chief of police at Bessemer. Both boys were about l2 years of age and had been employed selling papers on the streets of Bes- Semer.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2s.-The market has been strong today and active, although not quite so much as the past two or three days. There is naturally no news from Washington. It is on the national capital which attention centers these days one would think that for the next month the market is not apt to continue to go rushing ahead, for matters are not a all clear as to what Washington is going to do the bonus and tax mat ters. but 1t may be that the indications are sufficiently encouraging to create a continuation of the bull movement.

sumption of the law threw a mantle
Of innocence about the respondent
until the State had beyond rea-
sonable doubt proven him guilty. He
analized the indictment and told the
Jurors to consider ii carefully. that
at first they must decide whether
the crime set forth in the indict-
ment had been committed. If they
decided it had not been committed,
then tho respondent would be not
guilty. II the charge had been COM
mitted. then 10 convict the respond

reasonable doubt that the respond
cnt committed the crime
Judge Philbrook read the legal
definition Of certain Words appearing
in the Indictment and dWelt upon the
definite in legal terms Of dwelling
house as the defense had claim
that the place burned was not a
dwelling house. and the State
claimed that it was, and over this
point there had been throughout the
case sharp legal battle. The court
stated that the State must after hav-
ing proven that the crime set forth
