IC CASE BEFORE

Deloss.Wagner, the 12-Year-Otd
Lad From Weeping Water,
Paroled for a Few Days.
Kri.m Friday's Iailv.
Veslerday afteriiiioii eloss
Warner, the I ,-ye;irnld lad who
w;i -aulii lucaKiir-r niio uie
iin-jil market of Ji.hn Swindell al
Weeping- Walei. was brought lo
Ibis eilv and ari'aiuued before
In-line M. Aielier. T!ie lad :ie-
!nowb'd-ed inning forced an en
traiiee In Ihe store and slated to
the judge lhat he desired to se-
eure some nionev wiin wnien to
atleiul a ciii'us, as he had never
1 t n 1
seen one ami was uesiroiis 01 at
tending one whieh wa lo show- at
Lincoln. The boy had not been
able lo secure any money from
the store when raptured.
The parents of the lad are very
hard working people and are evi
dently good citizens, but have not
been able to look after the chil
dren as lliev would like to. The
father of Ihe boy is employed as
a farm hand near Weeping Water.
while the mother has been work
ing in a bakery, arid as her hours
of work are from 5:30 in the
inorninir until S at night there is
no', much time left to look after
the children. The boy who was
arrested is Ihe oldest of Ihe fam
ily of four children.
The rase was one that would
properly be brought before the
county judge, who was out of the
city, and the penalty would be a
sentence to the reform school,
and in view of this fact, Justice
Archer paroled the boy in the care
of his mother until such time as
it would be desired to have the
case brought before, the county
judge. The mother was grief
stricken over Ihe mailer and has
made arrangements to. try and
secure work at home that would
allow her to have more time to
look after Ihe children. .The case
is one lhat certainly brings out
sympathy for the unfortunate
family and the authorities are
willing to allow them every op
portunity to do what they can
with the boy.

Last evening about 0:.,u a one-
legged man. evidently a wander
ing hoboe. lit in the rily, hopping
oil' a west-bound Hunington
freight train, and in a few min
utes he had come up into the
business pari of the city and sta
tioned himself on the street, ask
ing the. public to contribute to bis
w elfare w ith I heir nickels and
dimes. After a short time he
moved down to the Burlington
passenger si at ion, where he pro-
reeded to seat himself in the door
and refused to move out of the
way. Chief of police Hainey was
called to look after him and when
the olfirer requested him to move
011 he turned and cursed in a hor
rible manner and proceeded to
grow quite warlike, but. refused
to get. up from bis position, but
was fmallv conveyed to the "lock

as it was necessarv to carry the
man a part of the way. He was
confined in jail all night and this
morning left the city under orders
not to visit this place again, ami

the oificer who had taken him in.
THOMAS SHERWOOD.
RECENTLY INJURED, SOE
ING FOR DAMAGES
Thomas Sherwood, who was in
jured so seriously in Omaha last
week while engaged in some
lainting on the Nicholas street
iaduct in that city, has tiled a
suit in that cily against the Mer-
hanls' Fxpress and Transfer Co.
for .hUlM alleged damages stis-
ained bv him in the accident.
Sherwood asserts he was working
n a scaffold suspended by hooks
from the underside of the viaduct.
when a driver for the express
ompanv drove his wagon into
one of the pillars, jarring loose a
hook used in holding the scaffold.
and Sherwood was precipitated to
the ground when the scaffold gave
way. and he sustained severe in
juries.
Reports from the hospital
where Mr. Sherwood is being
cared for are to the effect that he
s still in very serious shape and
s fastened in a niortor cast to
10KI the injured parts of his body
until they can knit together. It
will be several months at least
icfore he is able to leave the hos
pital, and at this time it is bard to
tell whether the injuries will be
permanent or not.

Many readers of the Journal.

tana just east of the old Mount

Nebraska, and just north of the

At this home Mr. Stroud and
