Waverly, Jan. 10.-A band OF juven-
lie highwaymen has been discovered in
Waverly. 1t is known as The Silent
Six" and has been in existence for a
has held daily sessions in II. b. Cramp-
toms barn. At these meetings, whisky
drinking, cigarette smoking and card
playing and novel reading have been
the forms of amusement. Yellow COW
cred literature of the Deadwood Dick
and Nick Garter brand first Inspired
these would-be bandits to establish the
organization.
Last spring, a number of petty bur-
glaries and other depredations COM
mitted in the residence portion of the
city caused the mayor to employ two
special policemen to watch nightly in
the hope of apprehending the mis-
creants. A large expense was entalled.
with no results, and the scheme was
abandoned. The depredations contin-
ued and so did the effort of c. E. Lane,
one of the special policemen, and his
further efforts proved not to be in vair.
BY careful watching, he learned the
identity of the members Of the band
determined to apprehend them in the
very act of committing the burglary.
With this end in view, he enlisted the
services of Adam Hankner, whose home
had several times been looted. Mrs.
Hankner paid casual visit to the
home of Merrill ,Saylor, leader of the
gang. and in his presence told her
mother that her entire family had ac-
cepted an. invitation to spend the even
ing in the other end of town. Young
Savior greedily took the bait and SAIL
led forth to apprise his companions Of
the good luck in store for them. AS
soon as he was gone, Mr.. Lane was
carefully stored away in the Hankner
cellar. The Hankners left home on
schedule time, and had hardly disap-
peared in the gathering darkness when
young Saylor opened the window of
the Hankner cellar and sprang into
Mr.. Lanes arms. The yell which he
gave apprised his confederates of the
danger and they scattered in the dark
ness.
Young Saylor was taken to the office
of Sheriff Parrot, which officer put
him through the same sweating process
by which he wrung from Delilah Fails
the confession of the murder of Jer-
ONE Kern, but young Saylor remained
immovable The magnificent nerve of
the 15-year-old president of "The ST.
lent Six never wavered. Another
member Of the party was apprehended
who broke down under the strain and
filed complete confession in the dis
trict court which will come up for
hearing before Judge Smith under the
juvenile law, all the parties defendant
being under 16 years of age The
names of the Silent Six" are: Merrill
Saylor, Keith Tooker, Willard Chap
man, Martelle Beebe, Grant Arus, and
Leon Fletcher. Several of them come
from prominent families.
