George Benson
caught two little boys, whose names we suppress, about nine o'clock last night,
in front of his oyster bay on East Washington street, "steering"
John Black, an old farm hand, who was intoxicated. When George saw
them the old man was holding on to them and demanding his money, which he said
they had taken from him. George told the boys that they must turn over the
money, and one of them took George with him into the alley adjacent where they
had hid the pocket book, and gave it to him. The purse had $10.53 in it,
and George took care of it and the old man for the balance of the night.
The kids mentioned are fast travelling the road to the pen.
