A Waterloo Youth Arrested for Series
of Petty Grimes.
Special to Times Republican.
Waterloo Oct. S.--Will Sorenberger,
who with Leon Shultz was arrested for
a number of petty crimes committed in
this city and who confessed to a large
number of them, was taken before
Judge Blair to be examined as to his
fitness for the reformatory.
After a thorough examination and
inquiry into the FRANKS he had been
indulging in, the judge found him to
be a fit subject for the institution and
he was sentenced to the reform school
until he has reached the age of q
years unless sooner discharged
1t seems from the investigation that
the Sorenberger boy was not so guilty
as Leon Shultz and an effort is being
made to stay the sentence and place
the boy on a farm with his uncle who
resides in Minnesota. The mother is
nearly crazed at the prospect of having
him sent to the reformatory and is
making every effort to have him cared
for in a proper manner outside the
school,
