The ten vear-old son of Mr. Chas M. Peel was walking a road in that section when he was overtaken by Ayers who was riding a bicycle. Ayears dismoun'ed and invited the hoy to take a drink, which the younK ster refused to do. I'pon refusal to drink made by the boy. Ayers caught him ami forced it down his throat. Then Ayers demanded a cigarett from the Peel boy who told him he had no cigarettes. He was th.-n told by Ayers if he did not give him a cirt/r --r-tte he would kill him. making ltSo*Yi' 'hat he hud a pistol in his pocket. The little boy. resorting to the best method of escaping death, told his assaiant that he would give him some money to buy him cigarettes with if he would no* kill him. Tlie suggestion must have been accepted by Ayers, for when the buy produced his pocket book, containing a small amount of change, Ayers seized it and rode away. Several neighbors soon heard of the affair and set out to find Ayers They over'ook him. placed him under arrest andTvturtklM him over to deputy sheriff IJuther Peel who |4aced hlr.i n jail here. Ayers claims he was just playing end also that he is not strong minded. As to these claims, we do not know whether there is any truth in it or pot. Pouring liquor down the throats of small boys by force and then rob bing them of their money is not to be tolerated.
