OHIO COLUMBUS, O., May 10.-Only 4 years old, yet able to swear with the best mule driver in existence, and also boasting that he could smoke as much as anybody without making him sick, Lee Ward was committed to the children's home. In committing the boy Judge Black said that if he was again returned to his parents he would hold the officers at the institution in contempt of court. The boy had once before been sent to the home.
