Bound for the West.

London fathers and mothers are troubled about their boys, who have been converted by Buffalo Bill and are anxious to be off to “the great West.” A London paper asserts that “the exodus of boys bound for the far West is such that a special staff of detectives is employed on the landing stage at Liverpool to look out for runaway youths and restore them to their parents. The boys stopped have from four to sixteen loaded revolvers concealed about them and lariats galore packed away in their trunks.”
