WORKING AS A LABORER.
An Iowa Minister Finds His Son in
This City.

Roy Mcnamara, an eighteen-year-old boy,
who ran away from Grinnell College, Iowa.
some weeks ago, was located in this city
working as a lsborer in the car shops of the
Big Four Company in Brightwood. The
boys father, Rev. ]. Mcnamara, arrived
here yesterday to take his son home. but
the latter refused to accompany his father.
The boy was engaged by Master Mechan mic
LAWYER as a day laborer in the car shops.
His manners gave the impression that he
had been well reared. He also showed high
intellectual traits, and Mr.. Lawler asked
him one day for references. as he intended
to give him an advanced position. The boy
referred Lawler TO G.. G.. Montrose, of
Sloan. Ia. for whom he had formerly
worked. Lawler at once sent a letter to
MontrOse, who communicated with Nc
Namara's father. Other communications
followed between the father and Lawler,
but the boy was kept in ignorance of them,
as Lawler was afraid the boy might leave
the shops if apprised of them.
The boy says one reason he left college
was that he was worked too hard with his
studies. He said after he left the institu-
ton he did not recover his mind fully until
he landed in this city and found himself
at work as a laborer. Since coming here,
he says, he has gained much in weight and
likes the life of a laborer. He spent last
night with his father, and the latter is of
opinion that the boy will change his mind
this morning about going home.

STATE PRISON BOARD.
E. H. Nebeker Says DIR. Brose :. Horne
viii Not BE Prosecuted.

E. II. Nebeker. president OF the Board OF
Control of the Indiana State Prison, was
in Indianapolis yesterday on his way to
Michigan City to attend a meeting of the
board, which will be held at the prison to-
day. Mr.. Nebeker left for Michigan City
last night. At the meeting to-day the
board will decide what action to take in
regard to DR.. Brose s.. Horne, who was
the chief prosecuting witness in an investi-
cation of the conduct of certain officials of
the prison and who finally confessed to
some slightly irregular conduct himself.
While there is little doubt in the minds of
the members of the board that the doctor
could be prosecuted, il is unlikely such
proceedings will be brought. So far as the
president of the board is concerned he
yesterday expressed himself as being OPP
posed to taking any steps toward prosecut-
Ing the doctor. He points out that Horne
has paid back what he was alleged to have
received illegally. Mr.. Nebeker further
reasons that DIR. Horne is a young man of
good family, and a prosecution Of the case
would only grieve and humiliate his young
wife. who is said to be a most excellent
woman. The doctor, being a young man.
can begin life anew, whereas a prosecution
on the part of the State might result in
blasting his career forever.
