Ilia father, who la an honwt, hard-working man, -waa out of town, but returned horn and Interceded with the authorities not to so ad bis boy to the asylum, promising to tak th boy out of town or keep him off the treet it appear from th statement of a gentleman win live near ttt horn of the Ind -John Johnson that the plight of the unfortunate cnlld Is due more to the unkind treatment which he receive at llie handa of other boys than to hi own mental condition. Bald the gen tleman yesterday In speaking of th matter to a representative of Th As- torlan: The boy Is now at horn Ilk a pris oner In hi cell. He wa taken to one of the moet ounipetmt physician In the city by hi father and the physician openly stated, that the boy was not In line, The wy Is a little pecuuar in ni looks and actions. He pl"vly re fuses to go to school, as the other boy mnke fun of him, beat blm, throw sticks nt him and call him cvry vile nnme In the English language Ills mother started to church with him one Sunday, and wa aaeaulted by a number or small ooys, who tnrew mud and filth off the street at them until his cloth were soiled and his mother wu compelled to return home. Thl unhappy family are almply perse cuted by boy who hav no eellng or hum. We read of people being abus ed and persecuted In foreign countrrm nid hold tip our hands In holy horror, while in AstorU, Oregon, In this glor lous land of the free, we are allowing a gcMxi, nonest, nara-woramg man fnmlly to be ill-treated, called vile nani, and their live made burden eurne. ix-cause one or tne boys acta a little different from the other boys. This Is a ermine. The boy should lie allowed to go to the public school, and other boys should be taught by suine one not to abuse him. Law and order are for the protection of the gen eml public, and this boy Is a much en titled to protection from boys that Hbuse him as any cltlsen la entitled to pi meet Ion from a foot-pud. He I not Ineane. nor la he any more feeble-mlnd ed than any other boy would be who Is compiled to rely entirely upon hi own esource for amuiemnnt. This la not the fault of the county court, but It 1 the fault of the parent of boy that abuse this boy maliciously. It would make mottt of us insane to treated th way these poor people are treated. Even oiuer peopie en courage the boys to Ill-treat this poor family. Any American boy should feel proud to help this boy Instead of mak ing him feel miserable." The Astoiian gladly voices thl pro test against the unfeeling persons who are adding to th unh&pplness of the unfortunate Johnson family, and It Is inrerwlv to b hODed that th author- lttes will take steps to put a stop to the SCHOOL FUNDS APPORTIONED practice. the The municipal debt of Astoria Is now only 118,921.02, as compared with 1188, .17.4 on September 30, 1901.

In cidentally it developed that Sheriff Lln vllle know considerable about horses. He can tell a balky horse the minute he sm-s him. There are, according to th sheriff, two ways to handle balky horse one by kindly treatment, the other by force. If the sheriff had been Driver Corde on the day the alleged beating wa administered, he WctUd hav thumped the balky horse with a club In the absence of a whalebone whip. The committee wa mad up of Coun- cilmen Burns, Nordstrom and Wilson and the meeting was held at th office of City Surveyor A. S. Tee, who had a pleasant Are burning in the fire-place. There were present member of the com m It tee on Are and water, who had pre ferred the charge, and witnesses who were at the engine house the day the horse were licked. It seems the charge against Mr. Cordea resulted from com plaint made to Councilman Morton by Street Superintendent Kearney. Mr. Kearney had gone Into the engine house and found the driver administer ing a thrashing to his team. The doors were closed and he gathered the Im pression that the driver wa engaged in a :ruel practice. Afterwards he learned that a fire alarm bad just been turned in and that the horses were be ing licked because of their failure to go out when the doors were first opened. and he said to members of the council that he would have "licked the stuffln' out of "em" had he been In Mr. Cordes" place. Mr. Morton was surprised to learn that the driver was trying to re spond to a fire alarm, and the charges fell with a lull thud. . The Investigation had one beneficial effect, however, in that it resulted in the dissemination of much Information about horses generally. The dissemin ator was Sheriff LInvllle. who told the members of the committee more about horses than they ever before knew, lie said he pretty thoroughly under stood the horse "Chler that had been licked, and hi knowledge of horse waa sufficient to convince him that the licking was altogether too mild to suit the cose of the animal In question. "He's a balky horse," declared the sheriff, "and needs an occasional lick ing. Why, you folks talk about cruelty to horses when you have no Idea of the severity of punishment that Is inflicted In horse countries to break balky ani mals. As I eald before, I pride my self on being a Judge of horses, and I want to tell you that Mr. Cordes gave his Chief horse just what be needed." The sheriff then went on to say several kind things about Mr. Cordes, who Is a horseman of experience and always kind and considerate with his team. Others present made similar declarations and there waa not the slighteet evidence to show that the charge preferred had any foundation In fact. At the conclusion of the Investiga tion the committee framed the follow ing report, which will be filed today with Auditor Anderson: "We, your committee appointed to In vestigate charges preferred against Louis Cordes, respectfully report that we have heard the testimony In this matter and after careful consideration we think there is no ground for the charge against him."
