After two days of Intense suffering with, lockjaw as the result of a wound received last Saturday at the hands of Zepheniah White, a colored ,lad of about his own age, little David Wells Thompson, the eight-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs.-rT.

R. King, to re arrest the boy at once, the youthful prisoner having been found at the home of his mother, corner of Eighth and Walnut streets, and locked up In the station house as early as S o'clock. The case Is one of-peculiar sadness. David was a bright little fellow; and was the favorite of six children with which : Mr.- and Mrs. Thompson have been blessed. ' -He wag : possessed ' of an even disposition, gentle in his man ner and was considered one of the best behaved little fellows in his neighbor hood. " - Saturday with two of his little brothers and other" children, includ ing the colored boy, somewhat larger than the ! rest, were playing in the street in -front of the Thompson residence5 A dispute arose ' over a cord with: which 1 the. children had been spinning a top and the colored boy; Vlcking "up half a brick, threw it at David : who . was struck on the bridge of the nose. Mr, Thompson was away from home at the time and Mrs. Thompson had the boy arrested, knowing that he should have, some punishment tor .the wicked I deed. The wound on the boy's nose, while quite severe, was regarded as no wise dan gerous. . The colored boy was arrest ed . and tried before Mayor Springer Monday at noon. On account of his age -he being . scarcely! ' more-jlLthan ten years old,- the youthful defendant was let off upon condition that his mother, who was present, give mm a sound thrashing, ; which i was duly . ad ministered 'under supervision of the police and the boy discharged. ; Mr. Thompson, who is travelling salesman in the Carolinas for the m&2g& came: home: from a Buslnes trip m a'BUsinestnp du1 irng' the week and lound the wound on the little boy nicely healing and apparently giving . him ! no , , trouble. Wednesday night, ' however, the little fellow's, face legan to! swelM an(r Thursday morning a! physician was called in. A violent form of lockjaw very soon manifested Itself land other physicians were ; summoned, one of them remaining by the bedside of the patient all the time. : Every means known j to ; medical science was em ployed to save the boy's life, but all was in vain and .his soul 'took Its flight, at the hour indicated,, pros trating . the parents ; with grief and drawing to them the tenderest sym pathy of the entire community. The boy was eight years old nn the 13th of last : January and leaves to mourn their " losir boaides the parents,! two brothers and three sisters.
