Marvin Ring. a 16-year- old tender
foot. was before Judge Hawkins this
morning charged with vagrancy and
begging on the street. The story as
developed by the evidence won the
sympathy of the court and the officers.
Young Ring left his home in North

$40 in cash and his father supplied him
with a railroad ticket. His efforts 10
find employment in Kalispell were flu

yesterday. Then he came to the con-

tenderly nurtured youth and was filled

raised a point of order and insisted
upon IL with Reed-like persistency.
After his arrest on the advice of the
court. he wired his friend in Kalispell
for financial assistance. but as yet has
received no reply. A like telegram to
his father brought the enigmatical an
