CHAMBERLAIN, S. D., Oct. ll.-(Special)
Officers have at last succeeded in capturing
a burglar who has for some time been oper-
atng at Castalia, the operator proving to
be the 15-year- -old son OF Louis Turgeon.
The burgaries of the boy are many and he
has operated with the boldness and expert
ness Of a veteran at the trade. Among his
exploits are two burglaries of the Castalia
postoffice, for which 1t is likely Uncle Sam
will request an explanation. When captured
he had Just entered the postoffce for the
second time.
The boys manner OF securing entrance to
the building was unique. During the even
ing, while loafng about, he would pull out
the stop in a window and then wedge
1t with a match so that it would not lock
and there was nothing to prevent his easy
access to the building later. When captured
he had in his possession a quantity of
stamps and some notes and papers which he
had just secured at the postotfice. He admits
he committed the long series OF burglaries
which have for some time been worrying the
people OF Castalia.
