Sunday night an 10 wear old boy
came to Chief Bragg =, police head
quarters and asked to be locked up
so that he could get a nights sleep
The boy stated that he had come
down from small town in the

hunting work. The chief doubted
the statement that he was hunting
work, nevertheless he gave him
bed for the night.
Monday morning about eleven
o'clock Chief Bragg had an occas-
sion to visit a certain place of busi-
ness on the outskirts Of the town
and where he found his Sunday
night lodger hard at work shoveling
coal with two negroes. The boy
spoke the truth when he said he
wanted work and WORK is what
he got.
