Iist wek a boy wa brought befor
th county court for Insanity and ad
judged feeble-minded, and waa to have
betn xnt to th Insan asylum at 8a
l"in. 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

The council investigation committee
met last night at the city hall and po
lively determined that Driver Loui
Corde, of the chemical engine, bad
licked hi horse with one of the little
mivenlr cane that were conspicuous
during tb Fourth of July season. 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."
