Small Boy Under Charges.
Robert Rice, a small colored boy about twelve years of age, was before Judge Scott in the Juvenile Court this morning charged with carrying a concealed weapen [sic]. Policemnan Cullinan of the fourth preceinct police told Judge Scott that the boy was about to shoot a small companion last evening in South Washington because the boy had made a playful statement that he intended hurting Rice.
The boy took the stand and told Judge Scott that he had procured the revolver from several small boys earlier in the day, and when the other boy threatened to do him harm he was about to defend himself.
Probation Officer Copp of the board of children’s guardians asked the court for time to further investigate and Judge Scott fixed the date for Friday, when then case will be called again. The boy was sent to the House of Detention until he is wanted in court.

RICE. In sad but loving remembrance of our beloved and only son and brother, ROBERT RICE, who departed this life two years ago today, August 19, 1918.
Dearest son, we have laid thee in the peaceful grave so low,
But again we hope to meet thee where no farewell tear is shed.

Som may thing the wound is healed,
’Tis only God who knows the sorrow
That lies in our hearts concealed.
