A sixteen year old boy, who gave his
name as Otto Volavka and his home as
Duluth, applied to the police last Tues
day evening for information and assist
ance in finding his father, whom he
claimed was working in one of the
Wausap cigar factories. An investiga.
ton brought out the information that
about month ago tramp cigar maker
named Volavka blew into town and
was given work in one of the local fac
tories, but on account of his love for the
flowing bowl, (which taste and tendency
is very rare among cigar makers) he
was informed that the shop could be
operated without his services, and he
blew out of town again. When the boy
got this information he decided to go
back home. He came to Wausau, he
said, by stealing rides on freight trains.
His mother died a short time since and
after that occurrence he went to live
with brother, he said.
