TWO DESPERADOES.
Two 13 Year Old Negro Boys
Hold Up
A 7 YEAR OLD WHITE BOY
In The Heart of The City And at
His Father’s Gate-
On Saturday night at about 8
o’clock two negro boys aged
about 13 held up little Robert
Wyatt.
The outrage was perpetrated
at the gate of the victim’s
father, corner of Fourth avenue
and East Second street.
Robert Wyatt is the 7 year
old son of Mr. Bill Wyatt. The
little fellow was attacked while
at his father’s front gate.
His cries brought his father
from across the street in time
to capture one of the litt e ras
cals. Mr. Wyatt threw the thief
to the pavement and stamped
him, then chased the other ne
gro up Tower hill. The fleeing
coonlet made good his escape.
When Mr. Wyatt returned the
negro boy he had kicked was
prone on the pavement. Mr.
Wyatt secured a good switch
and soon revived the little vil
lian and had him making a fine
rate of speed out of that section
of the city.
