Yesterday morning Night Marshal
Russell, Sheriff Thomas and Deputy
Lynch discovered what they supposed
to be a pair of tough young hoboes
hanging around a tox car in the rail-
road yards and attempted to run them
in. They had an exciting quarter Of an
hour chase around the stockyards and
sidings but finally captured the pair.
Deputy Lynch, who is an expert on
physiognomy, declared the culprits to
girls, but they stoutly maintained their
right to wear pantaloons until Marshal
Russell announced that he was from
Missouri, when they promptly gave in
and admitted they were girls. They
gave the names Of May Wood and Ethel
Robinson and their ages as 10 and 90.
Both had been in the industrial sahool
at Golden for several years, and this,
they claimed, was their third attempt to
escape. They were dressed as the usual
run Of hoboes and were beating their
way on the freight trains all the same
as professionals. They are held until
the officers Of the school can come and
get them.
