PROF. HUGHES' STATEMENT.
lie Lvpluins Just What Occurred
at
No, I I School,
Professor James Hughes, principal
of school No. 1-1, In anils the Item thut
appeared In a motnlng contemporaty
concerning that school as a falsehood.
It appeals that the Hue facts of the
happening tesulted In no such occur
rence as stated In the item. One of tho
boy scholats missed a part of his col
lections, just bofoio the hour of dis
missal ut noon on Friday and teported
the loss to Ills teacher.
Ptofessor Jlughes wus called In to in
vestigate and knowing- that it was Im
possible for any of the glils In the
loom to havo obtained entrance into
tho cloak 100m allowed them to go.
He then asked the boys if any of them
knew the whereabouts of the missing
money. No boy answeied nnd the boy
who hud -lost the money was asked If
lie had any Idea as to who might have
Ills cash. He examined the clothes of
one lad 5JUt without tesults. After a
little furtlier iiuestlonlng the guilty boy
confessed and the money was testoied
to Its tlghtful owner.
During the excitement consequent
upon the principal's elforts to locate the
guilty une, one little boy, diew
off his boots piepatatoty to a
seauh, hence the stoiy of the "shoes
and stockings." The money, w hose
loss occasioned such a stlt, was a
patt of some collections made by one
of the lioys for the school llbiary and
amounted to bu cents. Piofessor
Hughes s'ys the facts us published
place hi- .'in a false light.

Thn residents of Duuinoro have for a

has become so outiageous of late as to
set at naught the vigilance of the police.
Houses we:o lobbed, sto'cs bioken Into
and iniunni lable hinnctlis invaded, all
ol which depiedatlons weie traced to this
gang. To cnptuio them seemed an im
possibility. Several attempts weie made,
but each one was fruitless. Vehteuluy the
cllmux was leached, Hie band put to

Kuigess ISuihchel Is given the honor of

any emeigency they pioceeded by -i
lO'JiiOubout way to tho hobo hoadquar
Umb. Their coming was totally tinexpi" t

like an avalanche. The vveuther belli'.',
ex'.epticnully line, the hoboes, foa" in
niimlci, lay out upon u huge lint stone,
biinning themselves. They weie com,ilete
ly Hiiipiied and laid not even I In.' lo

Seveial shelves had also been elected up
on which the spoils ol the day weie lay
ing. Tobuceo und clay pines weie In
abundance. These together with a lot of
bioken kettles and pans 1 mulshed theli
entire outfit of the gang. The place wus
one whleli would do Justico to muny u
caipoutoi or mason. It ran tor upwauis
of twenty leet under the giound and
was about eight feet In width That pait
of tlie sides which did not run under
giounel, weio built up with lalhoud ties,
and coveted with mud which had become
baked. The entiance was coveied with
a huge piece of eanvabs and tho whole

The band contulned ovii twenty mem
