Just For fun


/ On Tuesday evening, TWO little
boys, eight and ten years. respect
lively. were taken in charge by the
police Of Pueblo. who took them to
be runaways. On being questioned
. by the police at the depot as to their
names and where they lived. the
youngsters said they were brothers
and lived in Rocky Ford. and that
their mother had sent them to
Pueblo TO await the arrival of let
ter from their sister in Kansas City,
containing transportation for them
to that city where they were going
to attend school this winter. This
story did not sound very good and
steps were taken to send them back
TO the Ford. Herman ". Millspaugh
overhearing the conversation, said
that was his destination and vol
unteered to take charge of the kids
and turn them over to their parents
on their arrival there. Everything
went smoothly for Millspaugh until
the melon town was reached and he
started out to find the boys home.
After tramping all over town after
ten O'Clock in the evening and not
finding anyone claiming the runa-
ways, he began to despair and asked
the boys why it was they did not
know where they lived, and they
said they had only been in town
three days and could not find the
house after dark. whereupon Mr..
Millspaugh took them to the st.
James hotel, got them room and
said he would be back at $50 IN the
morning and they would continue
the search. On arriving at the hotel
in the morning. it was discovered
that the boys had left the hotel.
without anyone being aware of the
fact. Mr., Millspaugh supposed they
had found their home. and boarded
the morning train for La Junta. On
arriving in Swink he saw the boys
from the train lettering around the
depot, and Immediately got them in
his possession again, and going to
Ecton's barn hired surrey and
driver and took them to La Junta
and turned them over to the author
tiles, where they admitted that
they lived in Colorado Springs and
that each had owned a wheel which
they sold to obtain money to take
their little trip. The boys were past
masters for their age at the 'stal-
lin" game. but told rather conflict
ing stories. They were taken to the
county Jail and lodged over night,
after which they were questioned
again and they gave their names as
James Brown, aged fourteen. and
REQ McNally. aged eleven. In con-
versation with the boys McNally
said he received 81 90 for his wheel,
Brown got s. for his. They also
said they were ready to go back
home, and would never runaway
again, and took the trip Just for
fun" Their parents were COM
municated with and thee youthful
runaways were returned to their
homes.
