Quite a Fad for Young Boys to Run
 Away from Home

Bessemer, May N-(Special.) )-Itis becom- ing quite a regular thing for the youth of Bessemer to leave the parental roof in search of adventures in wider fields About half a dozen young boys belonging to prominent families left home about six months ago, started south and after spending a night in an old saw mill some miles below here decided that civilization and its comforts still had charms for them, and returned home sadder and wiser boys. Now Aldendine Wade and Hiram Craig, the former a son of A. Wade the jeweler the latter the son of Well-known carpenter, have run away, going to Tuscaloosa. The boys, who are about IA or 15 years of age, were arrested by the police of Tuscaloosa on receipt of telegram from here. Craig had with him about SIT, which belonged to the Empire laundry, for which he was col- lector, and young Wade had considerable jeweiry, some of which was his own prop erty, the rest, not very valuable, having been taken from his fathers store. Ac- cording to the directions contained in the telegram, the money and jewelry were taken from the boys and returned to Bessemer and the culprits released. They will be permitted to continue their little journey in the world until they see fit to return.
