Officer H. H. Hawley arrived from
Portland on the delayed train this morn
ing and left on the west-bonnd, having
in charge the ' three runaways. The
oldest boy, Fred Mateon, be . says is a
regnlar little tough, having caused much
trouble before: - He will be sent to the
reform school, while the- two younger
will be taken to the Boys and Girls Aid
Society . It is said that neither of the
boys are innocents, having for a time
lived in a little shanty on the river front,
and were veritable little tramps. Our
citizens became quite interested in tbe
lads, deeming it a deplorable sight to
se boys of that age adopt such a course.
